Boat cruises up the Storms River

The trip up the otherwise inaccessible Storms River Gorge gives visitors the opportunity to view the gorge firsthand and to marvel at one of nature’s many wonders.Huge caverns are interspersed on either side of the river, some which extend upwards for 20 meters providing a habitat for rare Bat species. Awesome cliff faces extend above the boat and block out the sunlight as one proceeds silently through the “black water”The Sprit of Tsitsikamma departs from the old jetty below the suspension bridge and runs every 45 minutes.
