Kayak and Quadbike combo

Combo of Storms River Kayak & Lilo and 1 Hour Quad Bike Tour @ Misty Mountain Reserve

Storms River Mouth and Tsitsikamma

Activity Description

“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!

WhereWe are located INSIDE Tsitsikamma National Park, at Storms River Mouth. Our office overlooks the Storms River Mouth and ocean, and we are tucked nicely underneath the restaurant. From Plettenberg Bay we are approximately a 45km drive down the N2 towards Port Elizabeth. Take the RIGHT hand turn "Tsitsikamma National Park", and drive to the Park Gate. From the entry of the National Park there is only one road, so you can't get lost! Follow this road to the very end, park in the carpark and follow the red Untouched Adventures signs underneath the restaurant to the Storms River Harbour.

After you drive over the Storms River Bridge and pass the petrol station, pass Storms River Village, and turn LEFT at the "Tsitsikamma National Park" sign and drive to the Park Gate.

Activity Description

Your amazing guides will run over a quick briefing and ensure all guests are confident with the quad bikes. From start to finish, the tour is filled with energy, fun and sights that are so beautiful you just want to stop and take it all in. The new route incorporates more technical sections but is still enjoyable and manageable for the newbie’s, moderate to experienced rider. This route takes you through the heart of the forest which is encompassed by sky-scraper trees and the indigenous forest. Like any great quad bike route, it has its fair share of muddy sections! You could enjoy this route time and time again as this scenery you don’t come across too often in your city life. It really gets you out of your comfort zone.

Our Quad Bikes are designed to cater for ages 16 and above. If you have children under 16 who wish to join us on a tour, you are most welcome provided that they are accompanied by an adult driver and ride as a passenger to ensure the safety of the minor.

All quad bikes are steered using handlebars, accelerate using a thumb throttle and brake using four fingers. Gear shifting is controlled by an automatic clutch and an electronic button shift system, making it a more enjoyable experience without worrying about the change of gears.

Customer Reviews

We had a very good experience with the quad bikes. The guide was very helpful and gave informed us on what not to do when on the bikes. He ensured the whole tour that everyone is fine and enjoying the experience. He was very patient with those who made mistakes and went of track. For most of us it was our first time riding the bikes and the experience was great. Our purpose for the activity is to connect better as a team and this experience really helped. - Valencia Sheik
