Upon reaching the river, we gear up for the highlight of the trip: the 30-metre high abseil into the canyon. Whether you choose to abseil or opt for a guided rope lower, safety measures are paramount with multiple safety backups in place.

Once safely down, the real fun begins with river exploration and optional cliff jumps. Your guide will provide instruction and support as you navigate the jumps. Cliff jumps range from 1 to 10 metres, offering opportunities to practice and build confidence with feedback and advice from your guide.

Afterward, we hike back at a leisurely pace, stopping to change out of wetsuits, gather our belongings at the abseil point and savour the surrounding beauty.

Had a great experience with Branden. We learned so much about the birds, plants, native species, and invasive species it has really made our understanding of the area much deeper. Branden is friendly and knowledgeable and kept a pace that worked for us (both in our 60s). The forest and river were beautiful. Much better than another souvenir shop on the Garden Route!

Ein unvergessliches Abenteuer! Dieses Canyoning ist einfach anders. Ich habe schon viele Canyoning-Touren in europäischen Ländern gemacht, aber noch nichts vergleichbares erlebt. Branden ist ein hochqualifizierter Guide der die Natur liebt und alle Sicherheitsaspekte beherrscht. Man wandert zu Beginn ca. 1 Stunde durch den Urwald bis zum Startpunkt des Canyonings. Dort zieht man alles notwendige Equipment an um sich anschließend 30m abzuseilen. So gelang man in den Canyon wo man an verschiedenen Stellen von den Klippen springen kann und sich im Fluss teiben lassen kann. Am Ende wandert man wieder ein kleines Stück zum Startpunkt, wo man alles Equipment aussieht um sich anschließend auf den einstündigen Rückweg zu machen. Es war einfach wunderbar. Durch eine Canyoning-Toure bei Branden schützt ihr außerdem einen wichtigen Teil der afrikanischen Wildnis. Bitte nachmachen :-)

The abseiling tour was absolutely incredible ! Branden learned us a lot about this area and all the nature secret. The abseiling was incredible, it was challenging and funny. Branden was very kind and it’s a must to do this tour with him if you are on the garden route!! Thank you very much Branden for this unforgettable experience ;)

A perfect and unique walk in the nature. I was impressed by the systemic ecological information and the passion put in restoring the indigenous vegetation. I learned a lot about the natural medicines in this nature. A must see and must experience for all the ones that have a heart to take care of our planet and its ecosystem. And last but not least the visit to the cave in which our ancestors lived for a many of thousand years.

The River Adventure was an absolute delight! The rocky cliffs lining the river added a stunning backdrop to the experience, leaving me utterly enchanted. Branden, our guide, was simply incredible. Not only did he ensure our safety throughout the journey, but he also created a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Despite my fear of heights, he patiently guided me through cliff jumping, and I felt invigorated after a 6-metre leap. Branden's passion and knowledge of the local environment were truly remarkable. He shared fascinating insights about the wilderness, from the diverse plant and animal life to the rich history of the area. Highly recommend!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Canyoning Ausflug mit Braden. Erst sind wir ca. 30 Minuten zum Startpunkt gewandet um uns dort aus ca. 30 Metern Höhe abzuseilen! Adrenalin pur! Im Anschluss sind wir durch den Fluss geschwommen und sind von verschiedensten Klippen gesprungen. Abschließend sind wir wieder zurück zum Startpunkt und dann bis zum Auto gewandet. Braden hat uns viel über die Pflanzen und die Natur erzählt und wir haben sogar Wildschweine und eine Schildkröte gesehen. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis!

The canyon walk is a must if you're traveling along the garden route!! We had an amazing experience, Branden is very knowledgeable about the nature, plants and biodiverse habitat which he lives in. The abseil is also for beginners, it was definitely one of the highlights. All in all, we had a great time and got an in-depth insight into the nature of the canyon.

The best canyoning and nature-based experience in the area by a margin. If you're visiting the garden route, this is a must-do! 🌳 Branden is a fantastic naturalist with an extensive knowledge of the natural environment - specialising in the local flora and fauna - which makes his adventures all the more special. I highly recommend the canyoning, and also Re-wilding experiences, to get a good taste of the local environment, and through it an insight into how people lived in this area for thousands of years. His tours feel safe, are great value for money, and leave one feeling inspired by nature.
