Thames Jet Boat Rush and The Slide at The ArcelorMittal Orbit for Two
About this experience
Enjoy a sightseeing combo with a difference with a Thames Jet Boat Rush and The Slide at The ArcelorMittal Orbit for Two.
Sightseeing and speed combine on this 50-minute ride on the Thames. The sights come thick and fast as you cruise the river, including the Millennium Bridge, The London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and the Shard. Once you’ve passed Tower Bridge, your skipper will open up the throttle as you speed down to Canary Wharf.
Fall in style and descend the world’s tallest and longest tunnel slide at the ArcelorMittal Orbit. Spiral down what is also the UK’s tallest public artwork, breathing in dramatic cityscape views as you go. During your 40 second trip, you’ll cruise at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour, finishing with a 50m hurtle straight back down to earth.

“Brilliant day!”
Views from the Orbit are stunning, the slide experience is over before you know but worth it for the excitement, a little fear and the joy at having done it. Worth being choosy about the time and day to book to avoid queues, according to reviews. Thames Jet Boat Rush experience was far superior to a previous similar experience - more professional outfit, great commentary coupled with fabulous music made this such good fun...thrilling and exciting, truly enjoyed the day
“Great Slide”
The slide was great. Wanted to go straight back up and do it again.
