The Main Event
What better way to view iconic London landmarks than on an exhilarating ride down the river Thames! This experience is a thrill seeking, unique activity that will stay in your memory for a lifetime!
Securely seated in life jackets and waterproofs on a 12 meter long Thames Rocket fibreglass boat, you'll power through the water thanks to the force of the 880hp twin four stroke engines. 45 minutes of twists and turns will be enhanced with raging tunes from the 60’s through to the current day so you can really feel the party vibe on your Rocket boat treat!
The experience is available from a minimum age of 10 and every trip has a guide who will point out the impressive landmarks you'll see from the Tower of London, the HMS Belfast through to Tower Bridge.
The whole package of a blast down the Thames is carefully constructed by Thames Rockets so it’s not just the sights of the Capital that will blow your mind but also the fact that the guides on the boats really know their stuff and are quick witted and humorous plus the highly skilled skippers have your safety as their priority. All this has made Break the Barrier number 1 on TripAdvisor for over 10 years!
