Description

River rafting as an excellent thing to do in Cape Town when on holiday, or stuck for something exciting to do. This activity starts at 10h00, whereby qualified guides will meet you and lead you to a delicious continental breakfast at the Port Owen Bistro.

After breakfast, you will board the river crafts - either charter boats or the two-man kayaks. We then take you on a trip up the river into the bird sanctuary. The course of the river traverses the tidal wetlands of the Berg River. The setting is tranquil and beautiful.

A gourmet lunch is served and a wine tasting follows, either on board the charter boat or right on the banks of the river. If this sounds a little too peaceful and you'd like some adventure, a nine-meter bridge jump is available at the lunch location.

Location

The West Coast of the Cape is a fairly secret destination. Quaint towns and villages like Ysterfontein, Langebaan, and Saldanha act as stepping-stones on the way to the town of Velddrif. Also along this stretch of coast, you can find hidden bays like Stompneus Bay, Slipper Bay, Paternoster and Cape Columbine, where you can often see whales and dolphins at play.

Velddrif is situated at the mouth of the Berg River. It has a rich fishing history and a well-known bird sanctuary, which boasts around 240 species of birds.
