Destination: Storms River

print  

The Storms River Mouth epitomises the essence of the Garden Route with its lush forest, wild sea, rocky cliffs and breathtaking views from the exciting suspension bridge. In the heart of the Tsitsikamma Forest with its impressive 800-year-old yellowwood trees lies the Storms River village, a perfect base for adventure activities. For the thrill-seeking, take the leap and try the world's highest commercial bungee jump from the 216-metre high Bloukrans Bridge. Go on Africa's first treetop canopy tour or get wet while black water tubing and kloofing. Other exciting adventure activities on offer are quad biking, mountain fishing, biking, horse riding and snorkelling in the oldest and largest marine reserve on the continent. Walk the beautiful 20-kilometre Dolphin Trail or dare to do the challenging five-day Otter Trail along the craggy coast with steep gorges to the final point of Nature's Valley.
