“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

This adventure was once again as awesome as we had suspected it wouod be.. Its always a joy being out in the canyon with the crew. This time around we had Warren and Darren to take us through it. And it was great. See you guys next time we are in the area. Jacobs Clan - Kadin Jacobs
We had an absolute blast on our Canyon trip! Our guides, Julian and Warren were first class and all safety precautions were thoroughly in place. If you're into adventures this is a sure bet for a good time. - Evan Gilbert
Our experience was fantastic! We had the best couple of hours pushing our adrenaline to the max (in a safe way, of course). Africanyons have a great set up, providing all the gear needed. The operation is super slick, fun and memorable. Our tour guide, I can't remember his full name but it ended with "zzzzzzz" was so funny and kept us having fun. Would 100% recommend it! - Ella Moorey
What an experience! Not much of a fan of heights and wanted an experience that will get me out my comfort zone. This was by far an experience that can't be done once. Darren and Steph made our safety and comfortability a priority, along with a bit of humor to calm the nerves. The best part for me was jumping in the rock pools and just exploring the amazing views that nature presents. The guides were very patient and made sure we were safe and most importantly had fun. I think it's great value for the experience, can't wait to come back and do it again and loved the route aswell, keep up the good work African Canyon! - Samuel Boa-Amponsem
Puna war spitze und super lustig! Danke fur das Erlebnis. Hat super Spass gemacht. - Tabea
