Bengal Rapid River
Bengal Rapid River is Bellewaerde's rapids ride, in the India zone. Since 1988, visitors have been riding round boats down a churning mountain river here. Staying dry? That's a challenge.
The concept
You and your group take a seat in a round boat that drifts along a wild river through the India zone. Along the way, the boat spins and bumps into the rocks. So you never know who's getting wet next.
The Experience
When the water sloshes over the sides of your boat, everyone screams with delight. After the rapids, the route takes you through lovely green surroundings, so you can catch your breath again. The ride is 450 metres long.

Expect wet feet
Water sloshes over the side and sometimes collects in the bottom of the boat. Keep your feet up or wear shoes that can get wet.
Dry clothes
On a warm day, bring dry clothes or put your belongings in a locker. You can rent one for € 2.50 per day at the Info desk by Ingang Leeuw (as of November 2026).
Ride photo
A ride photo is taken during the trip. Afterwards, see who got the wettest.
Visitor information
From 1.00 metre you can ride when accompanied by an adult. From 1.40 metres you can ride on your own. Children are measured with their shoes on. The Bellewaerde app shows you in advance who can go on which ride. You must be able to get in and out on your own. The park warns of the risk of slipping. Do you have a disability? At the Infostand at Ingang Leeuw or Ingang Mexico you can get an ACCESS wristband for the separate entrance. At most rides, this is located at the exit.
In the India zone
The India zone is also home to the lions, Amur tigers and Amur leopards. After your wet ride, grab a warm waffle or bao bun at Bengali Snacks. Meanwhile, the little ones can climb in Hampi Playground.
