“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!

Es hat super viel Spass gemacht, vorallem mit den Guides Puma und Warren. Es war von allem etwas dabei: hiking, swimming, jumping and zipline - Lina Dauster
This was one of the best experiences of our honeymoon- 1000% recommend to everyone. Steph and Darren were top notch group leaders- we felt so safe and secure our entire trip- but that was never at the cost of fun adrenaline or some good chat. These guys are really experienced and fantastic fun. We went in a group of 6- was more than expected! Thanks again guys Anthony & Marrigje - Anthony Savoie
Fabulous canyoning trip! The guides Puna and Warren were so good, they both really helped Chris who has arthritis in his knees and a lack of balance to enjoy the activity to the fullest. We both had a wonderful time in the safe hands of the guides. The views inside ethe csnyon were great, the jumping clambering, zip lining and abseiling were great, the lovely lady, Esse, in the office was so good at organising us beforehand and super friendly throughout via email. Would highly recommend. - Michelle Garwood
This was an amazing experience. The entire staff was incredibly helpful and communicative, and the guides in particular were excellent. I highly recommend the experience. - Rafael Lawrence
Our family of 6 did the canyoning on my birthday, it was an amazing experience and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it! The tour guides were fantastic and so engaging and made the day even better! Such a great activity we loved it!! - Jodie Holmes
