Customer Reviews

Everyone was really kind and looked after our safety very well. We saw a lot of seals but the guides made it clear that their well-being was the most important thing which was good to hear. They looked after us the whole time and made sure we were ok. The reboarding was a little hectic, but all in all they made sure we had fun and stayed safe for the experience Thanks a lot. - Ina Seifert


It was the best experience of our live! Our guide Angelo was the perfect guide to go on this tour. Everything was perfect. Special thanks to the seals! ? - Tim van Eijsden


I was really impressed with all aspects of our seal experience. The quality of equipment and safety procedures as well as the experience and enthusiasm of the guide all contributed to a fantastic morning. I've already recommended to other visitors to Plettenberg - Mrs gillian armour


Really a great experience! - Sebastian Linder


We had a fantastic experience. The guys really looked after us at all stages. Definitely worth the visit. - Jennie Thorndycroft


Activity Description

Our AfriCanyon river adventure starts with registration, getting your wetsuit, kit and a quick briefing at basecamp. We then transfer you to the river entry point, a short drive in our vehicle and within minutes you are on your way. A brilliant combination of fun and adventure in the great outdoors!

Run the river with AfriCanyon, navigate through the river shallows, swim through natural tannin coloured fresh-water mountain pools, maneuver down water slides and abseil waterfalls as you dip down into the river gorge.

First timer, novice or seasoned at canyoning we’ve got your back. Under our professional guidance, using the latest spec adventure equipment your qualified guide ensures a kloofing adventure you simply can’t get enough of.

In fact we know you’re likely to want to do it again and again!

So Take the Gap, Feel the Rush.

Customer Reviews

Great experience, very exciting for me and my gf. The guys from Africanyon are very prepared and very friendly. The put the safety of the customer at first position and they are very professional. Our guides were Puna and Steph and we appreciated very much how they followed and helped us in every situation. An experience that we suggest and we would like to repeat. Alessandro and Katia - Alessandro Alocco


We (family with 2 kids, 11 and 9 years old) had a wonderful experience on the Africanyon canyon trip! We had a great time from the start - all the staff on-site were professional and fun. The kids were afraid to do a couple of the jumps, and both Puna and Julian did a great job helping and distracting them from their fears. The abseiling was so much fun, the canyon was beautiful, we felt safe, the ziplines were fun, and the hiking was not too challenging. Puna and Julian were fantastic, and we will definitely recommend them and Africanyon to our own friends! - Nicole Kelepouris


Amazing! Staff were so welcoming and so friendly. Had an amazing experience! - Laurie carter


steph and Darren are Very friendly guides and accommodates different personalities well. The standard canyon trip took about 1h45 to complete but depends on group size. It is an activity that one should try to experience as you swim in between the canyon river, jump down rocks, zipline, abseil, slide down rope/ high line..... I would say some entry level fitness would help but if don't have its also okay as the guides will adjust the speed according to fitness and capabilities. Harness, helmet, wetsuit and lifejacket provided. Pictures are taken at R200 for the entire group, so you can split the cost The guides Steph and Darren were awesome, they chatted and pumped us up and even the cold water didn't lower the experience. Darren's dive to release you from the high line was soooo awesome Steph's was understanding and accommodating to all levels and preferences. - Amina


We had an awesome time kloofing and would recommend it to anyone anyday. We thought the cold Winter weather might impact our experience, but no issues there. The wetsuits kept us more than warm enough. Thanks to our guides Tebzzz & Julien, who made the experience that more enjoyable. - Oscar Rohrs
