Discover Djengu River
Our tips:
- You will get wet
- Watch out for the Dwervels
- For the whole family
Djengu River
Djengu River is the rapids ride in the Magische Vallei. In a round boat for your whole group, you brave the churning river that flows through the heart of the valley. The ride opened in 2013 and was built by Hafema.
The concept
The water of the Magische Vallei has been enchanted by the old, wise Dwervel Djengu. The river is the valley's magical source. More than 1.1 million litres of water flow through the course, past rocks, waterfalls and the greenery of the valley.
The Experience
You soon find yourself in the rapids, with the boat spinning in every direction. Watch out for the waterfalls! The Dwervels have spotted you coming and take great delight in soaking you. The course is 460 metres long and a ride lasts about four minutes. Who will stay the driest?

You will get wet
How wet you get depends on your seat in the boat. A poncho or dry clothes come in handy on cooler days.
Watch out for the Dwervels
Along the banks, the Dwervels gleefully splash you. Keep your eyes peeled.
For the whole family
From 1.00 metre you can ride with a companion. That way younger children can join the adventure too.
Visitor information
From 1.20 metres you can ride alone; between 1.00 and 1.20 metres you must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or over. Below 1.00 metre there is no access. Shoes are compulsory and you may get wet. With Baby Switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child, then swaps in. You get the ticket for this at the station. There is a lift at the entrance for guests with disabilities, close to the big waterfalls.
Splashing in the valley
On a hot day, Djengu River is the best way to cool off. Dry off afterwards with a snack at Katara Plaza or let the kids play a little longer at Waku Waku.
