Customer Reviews

Het was echt ontzettend leuk !! Zeker een aanrader !! - Simone van der Heide


Wij hebben het seal Swimmen als heel leuk ervaren, van de boot naar de zeehondjes tot aan terug op het strand. De begeleiding was leuk, actief en je merkt dat hij (Angelo) het ook nog leuk vind en er enthousiast van word, ook als er ook dolfijnen in de verte te zien zijn! Het water was bij ons alleen erg koud, 12 graden, daar hielden zij ook rekening mee. Daardoor waren er wel minder zeehondjes dan normaal maar nogsteeds was het zo leuk om zelfs met een klein aantal te zwemmen! - Jolien Comeyne (Mundero)


Tres bonne organisation, locaux, materiel et bateau de tres bonne qualite et propres, le guide Claude etait tres professionnel, securisant et tres sympa ( sa comparaison de notre fils et de Frodo nous a fait beaucoup rire !). Les photos telechargees constituent un chouette souvenir. Par contre peu de reelles interactions avec les phoques ... A cause du froid ? Cela reste une tres bonne experience ! Merci ! - Marie Virginie DZIECHCIAREK


We went swimming with seals with our 2 kids (6&9 y o). We felt safe at all times. Unfortunately the water was very cold and our son (6) had to leave the water and watch the seals off the boat. Wetsuits however were provided (2 per person). My daughter and my wife fought through the cold and enjoyed the experience very much. A bouyancy aid was provided if needed. We would recommend the experience and would do it again (in summer). The guide took fotos and videos with a GoPro and the fotos can be downloaded - a great service. - Britta Krause


Great experience. Children liked it very much. Professional team and guide. Any time again. - Thomas Henksmeier


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

Had the absolute amazing and best time with Africanyon. The guides were so helpful and put safety first throughout our tour. Would definitely do it again! - Shardonne Vermaak


My wife and I had a fantastic canyoning experience. Abseiling, zip-lining and swimming our way down the river was an amazing way to spend the morning as we saw the beauty that South Africa has to offer. Warren & Puna were brilliant guides, ensuring that we were safe at all times but also had a really fun time! - Robbie Jamison


10/10 experience! My husband and I had a fab time with Steph, Darren and Tom. The trip was well organised and felt totally safe throughout. The guys were great fun bringing a huge amount of energy. We wouldn't hesitant to recommend and would 100% do it again! - Fenella Humphry


Great exciting and challenging course! A bit frightening at times but it remains a highlight of the Garden Route so far!! The guides were helpful and energetic and took great care of us! Definitely recommend! - Katarina Mizouni


Amazing experience with africanyon! Excellent explanation of rules and safety measurements. Very nice people who are passionate about what they do. I can really recommend it! - Lukas Pupping
