The Garden Route is full of adventure, waiting for adventure seekers to explore!

An adrenaline bucket list activity that Banzoflash recommends to everyone is water tubing!

 

Experience a full body workout while having the time of your life with Tsitsikamma’s main attractions all wrapped in a fun and unique river adventure:

Indigenous forests

Storms River Canyon

Tsitsikamma National Park

Storms River Mouth Suspension Bridges

The Bat Cave

 

Step 1

The 6hr activity begins in Storms River Village at Tube ‘n Axe Lodge with a welcome, orientation briefing and kit up.

 

Step 2:

A 20min drive through thick indigenous forest gets you to your drop-off point where each participant receives their tube.

 

Step 3:

From here it’s an 800m walk down into the Storms River Gorge.

 

Step 4:

A final few do’s, don’ts and safety demonstrations conclude the formalities and then set off down the narrow Storms River en route to Tsitsikamma National Park.

 

Step 5:

Approximately 1km downstream from starting point, the River valley narrows down into a narrow canyon with 110m high vertical fern-clad walls 2m apart in places.

 

Step 6:

The start of the Narrow canyon marks ‘The Point of No Return’ and from here on its a 3,5km downstream tubing/bouldering experience with optional jumps.

 

Step 7:

Tubes are used as paddling craft as there are many long pools to traverse and in between many bouldering sections where portage is necessary.

 

Step 8:

The journey on fresh drinkable water offers the ultimate way to rejuvenate in nature whilst giving you a full body workout at the same time.

 

Step 9:

The experience of Tubing the Red Route’ section of The Storms River is somewhat similar to canyoning without the necessity for rope access.

 

Step 10:

The Red Route excursion takes you into uncharted territory and is a truly phenomenal geographical spectacle. This is the excursion that fascinated early adventurers and is the place where the spirit of adventure began almost 50 years ago on the Garden Route.
