Storms River narrows quickly beyond its ocean mouth, between steep forested walls.
The kayak-and-lilo route reaches the confined gorge that walkers can only glimpse from above.

Experience FAQ
Kayak and lilo Storms River Gorge
Q01Why are lilos used?
The route changes from open water suitable for kayaks to a narrow rocky gorge that is explored on stable inflatable lilos.
Q02Is the activity weather-dependent?
Yes. The operator controls departures around ocean, river and safety conditions.
Plan with Alex
Plan the Storms River paddle
Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.
We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
