“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!

Awesome experience As for the instructors Onga and Brayton superb !!!!! ?????????????????? - Tebello Mholo
Thanks to Stan and Grant for making our Kayak and Lilo trip up Storm River such fun. The whole adventure was well organised, good equipment and great way to experience the Storm River Gauge. Stan was a great informative guide for the trip. We got lost driving there from Plettenberg as google maps did not direct us to the main entrance gate for Tsistsikamma National Park. It took us to a location further into forest. So I suggest making directions from Plettenberg clearer. - Kathryn Stannard
Juliuo ans Henry were very nice and helpful and charming. my Wife and I had a great experience and we would recommend it to our friends and family - Bassam Alghamdi
The kayak tour was an extraordinary experience. We had some reservations at first because the weather wasn't so good, but the team handled everything perfectly. The gorge, the caves, and the kayaking were an absolute dream. You can take your cell phone with you in a bag, and the guide films you and takes photos along the way. Thank you for this great trip. - Michele Strack
Romeo and Julianne were incredible!! They were so knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire experience. The kayak and lilo down storms river was an experience you don't want to miss. Will definitely be back to do it again! - Dan Sherman

Fantastic highlight of our holiday. The team cannot do enough for you and there to help you along the way when your nerves fail you! Beautiful scenery along the way to distract you from the crazy things you are doing. This is a unique and wonderful way to create special memories. - Monica Hope
We had an awesome time with our guides Tebz and Puna! They really did make the Trip an unforgettable adventure! We had so much fun and felt safe the whole time. Would definetely do it again! - Laura Schlathölter
Great trip with small group Both guides made it fu and felt very safe - Judith von Häfen-Gwatidzo
A fantastic experience. We've done a lot in South Africa, but this is definitely one of our top three activities. Superbly organized and absolutely breathtaking. Abseiling, jumping into the (really cold) water, floating in the river, zip-lining over the waterfall. Everything was amazing! My wife is afraid of heights and was a bit unsure if it was right for her. The two guides, Steph and Darren, were super empathetic and constantly encouraged her to try it, so she was able to enjoy it too and felt very safe. They are not only super nice, but also extremely funny and entertaining. A highly recommended experience. Be sure to order the photos and videos afterward. They're fantastic! - Mike Marcinowski
