Overview
On the Flying Fox you lie face-down in a harness and run off the edge of the gorge, then fly across the chasm with the river far below. It’s short, thrilling and ideal for anyone who wants a taste of the gorge without committing to a freefall.
It’s a favourite with families and mixed groups. At $69 it’s the lowest-priced way to experience the Batoka Gorge.

The Flying Fox is shorter and you ride head-first, lying flat. The Zip Line is a longer, faster ride in a seated harness.
Is the Flying Fox suitable for children?
