“Our favourite!” The 2 hour Storms River Kayak & Lilo Adventure is our most popular adventure activity in Tsitsikamma National Park! If you are keen to explore deeper into the Storms River Gorge in Tsitsikamma, and experience the long, deep, quiet pools, then the Kayak and Lilo trip is for you!
We paddle from the Harbour next to the small beach across the ocean, then under the Suspension Bridge and up the beautiful Storms River Mouth. Please note that if the sea is rough, you have to hike to the Suspension Bridge (along a boardwalked trail), where we then hike along the river from the suspension bridge up to the jetty to where you then get on onto your kayaks. This 1km hike takes about 30 min
This is where the true Kayaking adventure begins – paddling the Storms River, the pinnacle of Tsitsikamma National Park. After waving to all the tourists photographing you from the Suspension Bridge, we continue the kayak trip up the Stormsriver. We paddle right into the bats cave and spend time gazing up at the magnificent and spectacular cliffs all around us, all from the comfort of our double sit-on-top kayaks.
At the low-water point we disembark our kayaks and we jump on our unique Lilo’s. (a Lilo is an inflatable mattress that we’ve had specially made for this trip). From here we walk and float over a short section of rocks and simply wade deeper up the river on the Lilo’s. What a stunning view it is, laying on a Lilo at water level, and gazing up to cliffs that touch the sky! At reaching a certain point, we simply turn our Lilo’s around and float back down river to our Kayaks!

Really great experience.would recommend to everyone - Patrick Doyle
What an experience. We are a group of 4, 2x25yr old and 2 x 50ish year old!! There was a certain amount of trepidation in relation to being a bit older but as soon as we arrived we were put at ease. Steph and Darren were absolutely fantastic. From the outset they crested a relaxed atmosphere. Their safety brief really hit home. while they made it fun it was engaging and the point was definitely not lost. We were there to have fun and they were there to keep us safe. Both of these elements were achieved. Over the course of the morning there were a couple of wobbles, and they both applied the correct level of support so we could achieve the goal. There were also easier options provided where necessary. We had an amazing experience and want to thank both Darren and Steph. - Catherine Thorburn
Always impressed with the high level of safety, which does not in any way detract from the sense of adventure. The guides are well trained, professional, extremely competent and passionate about what they do. They are client focused and add much value to the day's adventure. The support team are efficient and friendly. Africanyon provide a memorable experience on all levels. The company never fails to deliver. Thank you! - Greenwood Bay College - Fleur Hanekom
Highly recommended for those seeking an adventure that combines safety, fun and adventure with exceptional guides. We were lucky to have Steph and Puna to ourselves and they ensured we had an incredible experience. Although, both abseiling and zip lining were new to both of us we didn't feel unsafe for a second allowing us to enjoy the full trip. Definitely a highlight of our road trip along the Garden Route! - Jacob Vikkelsøe
We had a wonderful time. A little nervous as our little one is only just 8... but no fear and Tibz and King Julian were fantastic. Always a ton of humour which wad hilarious and good spirit. We really enjoyed our afternoon. many thanks! - Ellie Godfrey
