Great way to explore the area! - Fantastic tubing and hiking adventure. Beautiful scenery and cool water! Love the garden Route of SA! Kayaking in the black water was also a thrill!

Stunning tubing trip through the canyon - I did the red route. After a safety briefing you have a scenic drive to the start of the route and then carry your equipment through the forest to the start of the canyon. The tubing was incredible and you get to go all the way out to the ocean! Can't describe how beautiful the canyon was. We were a group of 4 and were expertly guided by Ross and Luke, they have great knowledge of the area and I felt safe and had a lot of fun. Some optional cliff jumps really add to the experience. Would highly recommend.

Magical experience! - One of the best experiences so far in the beautiful South Africa! You drive through this ancient forest to get to the river down in the valley. Theres no-one else around and you are surrounded by the most beautiful trees as you make your way down the river. We felt safe the entire tour and the guides were super professional and friendly. We felt so refreshed and the best thing we didn't have any phones or need any camera cause they send you a video and photos. We could just enjoy the experience in nature. Afterwards we sat at the restaurant around the fire and then in one of the hot tubs they have! What a place, what an adventure. Altamente recomendado! :)

Fun outing on the River - We were travelling the garden route and looking for fun and out of the ordinary things to do. We enjoy water sports so this was a natural fit. We had fun floating along and paddling I. The tubes and SUPping. Two of us rented wetsuits and two did not. Didn’t find them essential for warmth but good for protection against the rocks and branches. Only one of us was brave enough for the cliff jump - woo hoo!

The staff were awesome... - The staff were awesome and beautiful scenery. I would only recommend this by first checking the water level. It was too low and we walked a lot of the time or the tubes kept getting stuck between the rocks.

Finger weg! - Our expectations were not met in any way. We had contacted the organizer directly after booking via the TripAdvisor portal and specifically asked if we were provided with a neoprene suit. no response Upon arrival then the first negative surprise suit and shoes must be paid separately additional !!!! Without a suit, the tour is completely impossible. Then it seemed strange to us that we were for only two participants. It turned out that the river carried far too little water to Enterprise anything remotely related to rafting. So we paddled a little on a kind of lake and rode a few meters with SUPs The rest consisted of walk in the creek bed!? Conclusion: This tour should NEVER have been offered in these dry conditions.... Totally dubious. The 2 stars are awarded only for the new guides who tried to make the most of it and for the hot shower afterwards as it was incredibly cold.
