What about Rabies:
We want to keep you in the loop about the recent rabies outbreak in seals. We’re closely monitoring the situation with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and Cape Nature. While there have been a few isolated cases, we’re continuing our activities with some extra safety measures to ensure everyone’s well-being.
We’ll keep you informed about rabies risks and our approach to managing them. Our team has put additional protective steps in place, and we have spotters watching for any unusual seal behavior.
Our local hospital is well-prepared for any seal bite injuries, with trained staff and vaccines on hand, just in case.
We also carry first aid supplies for bite wounds and make sure our guides stay close while you’re in the water, ready to help if needed. To keep the seals calm and ensure you have a great experience, we’ve slightly reduced the time spent in the water.
If you’re feeling a bit uneasy, no problem! You can choose to join a viewing trip instead, which is just as enjoyable. The choice is completely yours, and we’re here to make your experience safe and fun!
One of the best experiences ever - Thanks so much!! - Selina Schröter
It was an amazing experience to swim with seals. They prepared us well and the boat trip was fun as well. In the water we got so close to the animals and it was so much fun! - Debbie Lansbergen
Fantastic experience! Staff is very knowledgable and take good care of you. The seals are very curious and like to interact with you - Tjerk Visser

“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!

I've seen quite a bit in my lifetime and this was definitely the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's undeniably an adventure I will never forget. It is definitely something to put on your bucket list! Truely amazing! The guides were beyond friendly and did everything in their power to make it as special as they could. Thank you Julio and Norman! - Nadia Volschenk
The service was great. We love that the wet suits were provided to us. Lisa and Brighton were incredible. Brighton made the experience really great with his support and humour. Keep the best service up - STEVEN TSOTETSI
We had a blast. Tour guides were wonderful. Friendly and helpful. - Kathy Jean Richardson
My partner and I did a Kayak and Lilo tour in Tsitsikamma at Storms River and had a great time! We ended up being the only people booked on the tour, so had a private experience! Our two guides Romeo and Brighton were very friendly, knowledgeable and allowed us to have a very safe and fun experience on both the kayaks and lilos. Would highly recommend! - Mathew Tamburini
Had a really great time ! Romeo was a fantastic guide; fun, yet aware of safety. We were unlucky with the weather and so had to hike to the start of the river, however this was a very scenic walk and definitely warmed us up in the colder weather! The kayak was a nice distance, and just amazing scenery. We loved the cliff jumping and the lilo. It was such a fun activity and we would definitely recommend ! - Amelia Dalton
