Customer Reviews

Not something I would have ever considered doing until someone else recommended it to me and absolutely Loved the experience! - Rebecca Savage


Great experience and great staff! I highly recommend! - Seignour Marjorie


We had a great experience with Offshore Adventures. We got a clear briefing upfront and the organization is also very involved in the well being of the animals which we found also very important. We felt good at all times and would recommend this experience! - Esther Hofmans


Great guides and managed to make an ordinary day exciting. Ross you are a South African asset. - Tinus and Terena Gouws


What an experience!! The staff and team were so helpful and mindful of everyone's safety. You receive a good safety briefing before you head out and all equipment is provided. Swimming with the seals was an experience! - Louise Fletcher-Phillips


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.
