An amazing experience close with the colony of seals. I felt very safe and well informed by the staff - Debbie Miles
A day of many firsts. First time: - in South Africa - in Plettenberg - in the Indian Ocean - in deep, turbulent water - so close to wildlife - in a diving suit feeling like a penguin - breathing through a snorkel instead of my nose - having flippers on - loosing selfcontrol and balance while swimming - bumping into floating seals and other swimmers - making eye contact up close with a wild seal - standing in an ocean, without sand or rock under my feet - something adventures. Loved it, while having a small panic attack :-) (Climbing rope with knots or ropes ladder would be handy?) - Nathalie Vanquatem
A lifetime experience! My friends and I had high expectations, but the tour surpassed them all. Seals are extremely curious and playful animals. Unique emotions! - Sara Zinani
Great activity, kind of a must do. The guys that accompany you really know what they're doing! - Frank Meyers
We had an amazing Swim with seals activity. There was a lot of attention for all of us and we received a lot of beautiful pictures and movies of it. - Hans
“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!

Oh my Goodness!!! You have to try this experience. This place changed my life. I'm so happy I did this. - Renee
Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, die Leute so freundlich und es war atemberaubend. Ich kann das Erlebnis nur empfehlen. Besonders unsere Begleiter haben sich sehr viel Muhe gegeben. Unbedingt machen!! - Katharina Ballin
A experiencia foi maravilhosa. Vale muito a pena. O caiaque e super divertido (e cansativo) e o cenario e deslumbrante. Foi uma das coisas mais legais que eu ja vivenciei. O staff e super comprometido e passa muita seguranca. Um deles ficou com o meu celular e se empenhou muito nas fotos. Fez registros incriveis! Faria o passeio outra vez com toda certeza! - Leonardo Coelho Rocha
I had an amazing experience with the Kayaking and Lilo; also our guides Romeo and Juwayne were wonderful. Keep up the good work team. - Thapelo Molotsi
Great kayaking and lilo adventure in Storms River! - Amy Preece
