What to expect

Na'vi River Journey is a gentle boat ride through the bioluminescent rainforest of Pandora. Guests drift past glowing plants, alien creatures, and immersive soundscapes before encountering the Shaman of Songs, one of Disney's most advanced Audio-Animatronics. Opened in 2017 alongside Avatar Flight of Passage, it was designed as Pandora's all-ages attraction and focuses more on atmosphere and world-building than thrills.
