“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!

It was a really fun experience! The canyon is beautiful and all the staff are nice and friendly. Both of our guide were professional, super helpful and friendly and they let my son jumping in the water from several spot! The 6 meter jump was exciting for me! You have the opportunity to swim, kayaking or just laying on the lilo watching the nature passing by! We even spot an otter. Definitely recommend! - Emanuela Ercolano

The guides were really nice and it was a lot of fun. They took pictures of us, so we would have some of the whole family and did a great job making everyone had fun. Thanks a lot. - Ina Seifert
A fantastic and very well organised experience! We took our two 7-year old boys and they did everything to cater for them to make sure everyone had a great time. The gorge itself really is beautiful and playing on the kayak and lilos feels like you are a million miles from anywhere. There was also loads of wildlife in and around the water ... all in all a fantastic day out. - Jonathan Hunter
