    I had the best morning ever! I was sadly the only client but that didn't stop them from making my adventure a truly magnificent one. My adrenalin levels were high but I never felt unsafe or scared at any point and the beauty of that kloof are absolutely breath taking. I can't wait for my friends to come visit me while I work in Knysna so we can go do it again!

    Once in a lifetime experience! This is something I would encourage everyone to do, the adventure, the fun, the beauty, the nature, the guides - ALL absolutely fabulous! We had Tebz and DK as our guides on the trip, and they were phenomenal - helpful, funny, full of interesting stories, and just brought such a good energy to the tour. The canyon tour is beautiful the entire way through, and between the jumps, the ziplines, and the swimming time just flies. It is such fun!

    We did the africanyon trip with 3 people and it was a great experience. It is adventurous and you have wonderful stops where you jump into the water from a height or have to climb a bit. In addition, the equipment and helpful guides also make you feel safe every moment. Definitely recommended

    One of the highlights of our trip to South Africa with our family. Even my wife who is not really water-minded had the time of her life. Especially because she was taken in tow by the incredibly funny, but at the same time super professional guides Darren and Steph. Not to be missed for those who want it to be a bit more adventurous (in a safe way): abseiling, zip lines, jumps,...

    This was a super fun day trip. Guides Poena and Tutu were excellent, especially with our kids aged 10 and 12. Perfect blend of adventure, spectacular scenery and no shortage of adrenaline! We will definitely be back next year!

    This canyon adventure isn't for the faint of heart; it's tailored for thrill-seekers craving an adrenaline rush. From exhilarating abseiling to daring cliff jumps into deep, murky waters, ziplining, challenging hikes up steep slopes, and an overall adrenaline-inducing experience, it's an absolute must for adventure enthusiasts. A special thanks to Steph and Guinea Pig (Liam) for their patience and guidance, especially during the long swims. We'll surely return, better prepared but equally enthusiastic for the next round!

    Great time with Darren and Steph, who made us feel safe and having a lot of fun!! We were lucky to get a private tour with them which made it even more special going though this amazing Tarzan and Jane land 🤗🌴🐒🦋 we will come back!!!

    Amazing experience today with tour guides Warren and Puna! From the perspective of someone who is semi-unfit, slow and not a good swimmer, DO NOT allow this to hold you back. The guides will help you every step of the way. I always felt safe and really enjoyed exhilarating experience. Unreal scenery and breathtaking waterfalls. JUST DO IT!!!

  • 5/5 Sven K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Fantastic tour, much adrenaline and activities I never thought I do. Our tour guides were Steph and Darran, funny guys that guides us safely through. Their German skills were also quite impressive. Thanks for the fun guys!

  • 5/5 Kerri C. 6 months ago on Google
    We had the best time Canyoning. Such a rush and amazing to try something new. Our guides Tebz and King Julian kept us safe and entertained. I'm not the fastest swimmer so Tebz literally towed me along at various points so I could keep up with the group. Highly recommend if you're in the Knysna or Plettenberg area.

  • 5/5 Tim N. 6 months ago on Google
    One of the best canyoning tours we have ever done! Our guides (Steph and Darren) made this experience more than worth the money. They made us feel safe the whole time, made a lot of jokes and let us forget the cold water 😊 we had a great time and we would definitely recommend this to everyone who seeks some adventure…! Greetings from Belgium! Kristof, Matthijs, Emma and Tim

    What an amazing tour, Darren and Warren deserve 5 stars each for how well they conduct themselves and the tour itself. Safety and fun are top priorities. The canyon itself is absolutely stunning. Best activity we did on our trip. Will deffinetly be going back next time I'm in plett. Thanks for the amazing experience guys. From Jana and Ryan.

    We had such an awesome day today! We went out with Stephan and Darren, both very friendly, funny and professional guides. The group was quite large which resulted in a bit of waiting but that’s nothing to complain about in such a lovely area. Thumbs up to Africanyon for this amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Ania K. 1 year ago on Google
    Phenomenal!!! Amazing! GO!!! The canyoning was a cool adventure of swimming through beautiful gorges, jumping off cliffs, dry abseiling into the gorge and then wet abseiling through the centre of a fall, the big goodbye is a cool zip line into the water. Super fun and super beautiful. There are 2 big jumps, 4m and 8m, for those of the feint of heart, there are options to not jump, but best way to conquer your fear is just do it ! Exhilarating! Our guides were incredible, the Black one (aka Tebzzzzzzzzz) or King Julian (aka dynamite). They are professional, witty, full of energy and make sure that through all the obstacles you are kept safe! Very safety conscious! Safety is a top priority!!! Stop reading and book! Need to be there an hour before your start time!!

    Kloofing is one of my favorite activities to do when I'm in the area. It's an adventure-packed experience that includes everything from jumping off waterfalls to abseiling. Although you'll be spending a lot of time in the water, wetsuits will keep you warm, and flotation jackets allow for some relaxation. With a moderate level of fitness, anyone can enjoy this opportunity to connect with nature and see it from a perspective that you wouldn't get otherwise. I highly recommend booking in advance to ensure your spot.

    One of the best things I've ever done in South Africa. Darren and Steph were outstanding. Their confidence and composure made me feel safe at all times. I'd highly recommend. Even in Winter their equipment keeps you warm.

    Highly recommend !! The tour was very fun & out tour guide Darren was super friendly. Thank you so much

  • 5/5 Amy L. 11 months ago on Google
    WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! My first time canyoning and it exceeded my expectations. As someone who's afraid of heights, this experience helped me conquer so much! The guides were incredibly patient, helpful and such a vibe to be around. Seriously, whether you're a first -timer or an experienced adventurer, this is the PERFECT way to explore South Africa in a unique and exciting way.🥲 Shout out to our guides Puna and Julian for making this such a memorable trip!

    STEPH and Darren were awesome leads, they made it exciting and very interactive, we had a blast of a time. Take a pair of water shoes, there was quite a bit of water time. They were exceptionally good with kids

  • 4/5 Daniella G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience that takes you out of your comfort zone with the best instructors and guides who not only assist you in every way they can but also go at your pace. Ask for Black 1 and King Julian, you will not stop laughing! Only critique is that the wetsuits should be checked for broken zips and better shoes would be great as the shoes provided had no grip. Gripped waterproof shoes would be better.

  • 5/5 Darrel van O. 1 year ago on Google
    What an insane experience. If you’re reading this review, just go ahead and do it. Worth every penny. Shoutout to our guides, Darren and Steph. They really went above and beyond.

  • 5/5 Fahima K. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome experience. Our guides Steph and Darren were super fun and entertaining. My 8 yr old was encouraged by them and managed to do it all by himself. My teenagers enjoyed it as well. Be fully immersed in nature abseiling, rock jumping and swimming in natural rock pools. Worth every penny.

  • 5/5 Rebecca R. 1 year ago on Google
    Unbelievable experience! It really felt like an astonishing adventure. Ive always wanted to do canyoning and it really fuldilled, if not even übertraf my expectations. Our guides, Warren and Tebzz, were super nice, funny and incredibly competent. They made sure everyone was completely safe and had fun. They also took pictures the whole time so you could have something to remember this incredible experience. The route is really cool, you begin with abseiling, then make your way through the canyon by swimming, ziplining, jumping and climbing over rocks. Ive felt safe at every point of the tour. In my opinion, the price is totally fair for the tour because of the responsibility and competence of the guides. The team at the base was also really nice and brought us coffee and tea on the house.

    I did the Africanyon Standard Full Monty trip with a friend in the beginning of June. I was a bit worried about the water temperature since it was already late fall but that was not a problem at all because of the warm wetsuits. In summer the groups are bigger but in June it is not a busy time at all and therefore, we had a private tour with our two guides Puna and Steph. This made the experience very special! We got to personally know the guides, made a lot of jokes and fun and we were never worried about our safety. We got amazing pictures of the two of us and in contrast to large groups we had no waiting times at the jumps or zip-lines and therefore, we didn't get cold. After all if I have the chance to do it again, I would always prefer to do it off-season in June than in the busy summer! It was so much fun!

  • 5/5 Amit B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great adventure! Very precise ! We took 11 trip and for 2 hrs we were in a dream! A family with 4 (10-19) and 2 adults and this is one of the things that match all ages and all can have a real fun. Thank you Puna and Tebze great guides with a lot of sensitivity and proficiency! The were the best! Don’t miss it!

  • 5/5 Jan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Experience!!! We went out with the team of Africanyon today and it was an unforgettable experience in all ways! The nature was beautiful, the tour was exciting and the two guides were really entertaining and friendly. We always felt very secure, but it was still a thrill. Would recommend this at any time. Thanks again to the whole team of Africanyon for this great experience :)

  • 5/5 Melissa O. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the best time with Africanyon tours and team! Safety was clearly their priority with making sure we had a great time as a close second. All jumps, zip lines, and canyoning were talked through before each section. Then we were reminded of safety as we went along. We had an absolute blast and the team made it a very special experience along our trip!

  • 5/5 Wouter J. 1 year ago on Google
    WoW, what a great experience! We enjoyed every minute. If you are looking for an adventure, then do not hesitate to book this activity. We are a family of 5 ( age 9-12-15 ) and spent the trip with Tebzzzz and Darren. They guided us very professional trough a beautiful canyon. Waterfalls, pools to jump in, exciting zip lines, abseil. Very friendly cheerful and focused team.

  • 5/5 Kirsty H. 2 years ago on Google
