The scenery is breathtaking as the mountains tower over you while your gently floating down the Palmiet river. This world heritage is a lush green nature reserve sand trenches as far as the eye can see. The smell of fynbos cloaks around the river, as insects buzz and sound of wildlife echo off the gorges. Tubing is provided during the summer months. Professional guides lead you on this adventurous ride of a life time, but bookings are essential. Relax and for a few hours forget about the hustle and bustle of the city.
