Riving tubing and stand up paddle tour near Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Tsitsikamma National Park is a coastal reserve along South Africa’s Garden Route that is known for its beautiful, lush scenery of mountains and ocean. It is in this peaceful environment that you will experience a relaxing mix of river tubing and stand up paddling on the Storm River! This activity combo allows you to make the most of the river: relaxing in a floating inner tube and navigating on a paddleboard, all while having lots of fun and taking in the incredible views!

You'll start your river tour with a scenic drive from Storms River village, less than an hour away from Plettenberg Bay, to the river launch point. Once you arrive, you'll get equipped and be given a safety briefing before you hop into the river to paddle upstream to a soft beach. From there, you'll get out and walk to the next river pool where you will jump on your stand up paddle board and make your way along the river. As you go, there will be a spot for a 8 metre optional cliff jump for the thrill seekers to indulge in! If you’re not up for a cliff jump, there is still lots of fun to be had splashing about in your tube, balancing on your paddleboard (or even trying handstands!), and swimming in the refreshing river water!

To complete the activity, you will float downstream on your inner tube all the way to the Storm River’s mouth so you can completely relax and enjoy the sensation of floating in comfort and soaking in the pristine nature of Tsitsikamma National Park around you! From start to finish, you will be accompanied by your expert guides in the water so that you can float, swim, jump, and splash in complete safety. They will show you how to complete any manoeuvres and confidently make your way down the river via tube and paddle board so that you and your family or friends can focus on having fun!
