Gliding combo

Combo of Storms River Kayak & Lilo and 1 Hour Segway Experience

Storms River Mouth and Tsitsikamma

Guided Segway Tours - Forest Adventure - Family Fun

Activity Description

“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!

WhereWe are located INSIDE Tsitsikamma National Park, at Storms River Mouth. Our office overlooks the Storms River Mouth and ocean, and we are tucked nicely underneath the restaurant. From Plettenberg Bay we are approximately a 45km drive down the N2 towards Port Elizabeth. Take the RIGHT hand turn "Tsitsikamma National Park", and drive to the Park Gate. From the entry of the National Park there is only one road, so you can't get lost! Follow this road to the very end, park in the carpark and follow the red Untouched Adventures signs underneath the restaurant to the Storms River Harbour.

After you drive over the Storms River Bridge and pass the petrol station, pass Storms River Village, and turn LEFT at the "Tsitsikamma National Park" sign and drive to the Park Gate.

We had a great time kayaking and doing Lilo on the Storms river. It was fin, refreshing and overall Nature is beautiful <3 - Sarah Adjanohoun


It was a great experience and enjoyable moment. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. Thank you - Honore Bena


we absolutely loved our experience and our guides made it all the more memorable with their little stories and anecdotes! will highly recommend this experience to anyone - remember to take a towel and a spare set of clothes! - Lizelle Botten


We really appreciated the tour. Our guide was very experience and did connect to the people. The first and last bit is not an easy bit but we managed it well with the kids starting from 11 years. - Sonja Engels


Loved the experience. I felt it was professionally run and that our guides Clinton and Rowan were excellent, informative and made us feel safe. It was fun. The only thing is that as a foreigner, the entry to the National park to get to this activity is very expensive, which like us, all you are coming for is this activity makes it a significant amount. It would be great if you could have an agreement to combine costs as we came for this NOT the entrance to the park. - Nevine

Customer Reviews

We were a family of four on holiday from the UK and had great fun. It's the first time any of us had tried and we were are a bit nervous beforehand. However, within a few minutes we were all zooming around like pros. Our instructor was fantastic and we all had so much fun, so we will definitely be doing it again if and when we are back. - Peter Grant


I enjoyed the experience tremendously! Our guide, Lollie, was patient, friendly and informative. It's a beautiful trip through the forest and a fun way to take it. - Joshua Gouws


Awesome experience, addictive once on the go, feels as if you do not want the route to come to a end- we really felt safe and the tour guide Madom was amazing. - Kelly Farmer


So much fun to explore Tsitsikamma on a segway tour. The guide was professional and allowed time for orientation and practice before we headed off. My husband and I (both in our 50s) really enjoyed this experience. - Anne Jorgensen


We had a very good experience with Segway. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The guide was the best ever! There were 3 of our team members who refused to go on the scooters. The guide motivated them so much that they gave it a try and they were not sorry. We all enjoyed it so much and it was a great team building experience. - Valencia Sheik
