Highlights of the Garden Route:

Blackwater Tubing

Experience the magic of the Tsitsikamma "place of many waters". 

Blackwater Tubing on the Stormsriver is the ultimate kloofing experience. The trip is both scenic and exhilarating!

The Blackwater Tubing Adventure begins with a steep descent down a rope ladder into the almost inaccessible canyon of the Stormsriver and ends at the suspension bridge in the Tsitsikamma National Park.  The trip will literally take your breath away as you jump from high cliffs into the “black” water below.  Depending on the level of the water, you can try your hand at riding the rapids.   The trip is incredibly scenic, exhilarating and spectacular.

Trips depart at 08:30 and return by 14:00. Your epic kloofing adventure begins with a steep descent into the gorge with approximately two-and-a-half hours on the water depending on the ability of the group.

If the level of the water is high enough, you will ride the rapids and jump into the "unknown" black water - all under the supervision of your guide. Drifting along the calm pools gives one a chance to relax after clambering over rocky outcrops. Frequent sightings of the Giant Kingfisher, Knysna Loerie and the Fish Eagle are made.

What to Bring:
Participants under 21 need signed parental consent and bookings must be made in advance.
Participants need to bring swimming costumes and suitable shoes for wearing on the river - we recommend "strops” or trainers.
One needs to bear in mind that the shoes will get wet. The shoes should have a good grip for walking on rocks.

The BLACKWATER TUBING experience includes wetsuits, helmets, tubes, a trained guide and lunch.

Please note:
Tubing is always weather dependant and can be cancelled at short notice.
