There are national parks on both sides of the Falls where you can wander around at leisure. Otherwise the various activities typically available - rafting, scenic flights, bungee etc are all very popular optional activities for many clients.

    Kylie

    Asked on May 17th, 2024

    conflicting statements about age - one place and the filter show open to all, but there is a blurb about Acacia Adventures being limited to 18-29 age group. Is there an age restriction?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Acacia Adventure HolidaysOperatorWritten May 2024

      Most Adventure tours - including the one you have listed tours - have a lower age limit of 18 years of age, with no upper limit other than we would wish to speak with anyone in their 70s before they committed to a booking to ensure they understood properly the nature of the tour. The average age of our groups is probably mid 30s with a range from early 20s/ to 50s/60s with a small number of late teens and late 60s.
