“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!

We had so much fun kayaking/ lilo in Stromsrivier. The view from the ocean at the Stroms river Mouth is stunning and actually kayaking on the river surrounded by all that natural beauty is amazing. The guides Julio and Bryten were very kind, made us laugh, made a lot of pictures for us, showed us interesting things in de canyon. Incredible 2,5 hours. Worth every penny!!!! We would recommend this activity in beautiful Tsitsikama to everyone. - Dasha Ceyssens
Loved the experience, we had two very nice guides (Norman & Lesa), would 100% recommend! - Simona Riedi
The experience was euphoric, tranquil and ineffable. Our guide (Clinton) was very friendly and calm with us especially my teenage children. I could do it all over again. - Julia Sedibe
We've had a great time during the kayak. The instructors/guides were very friendly as well as witty. They attended to everyone and made this event even more fun than it already was. The environment is great and we had a nice group of people. This event comes highly reccommended. Everyone should do this when you are in the neighborhood. - Leunes Hage
Excellent experience. The guides took good care of the 2 younger people in our group by taking them on their kayaks. We had a group age ranging from 6-76 and everyone enjoyed the experience. I would have liked a bit more time at the LILO area to have a quick snack. That's the only part that felt a bit rushed. - Aadila Docrat

An absolutely fantastic experience. On arrival we were seen to straight away and everyone was helpful especially our guide Chester. It was our first time on Segway but we were instructed well and it was super easy to get the hang of. My only disappointment was that I should have booked the longer experience and not just the 1-hour one. - Jason Havvas
The Segway tour was an incredible experience! The introduction was quick and helpful, making it easy even for beginners.
