Home of Adventure Sports

Welcome to the home of adventure sports. Because of South Africa’s all-year-round sunny weather most people can participate in adventure activities throughout the year.

There are adventure sports for daredevils and there are many others for those that are still young at heart. Abseilling, bungee jumping, hand gliding, paragliding, mountain biking and many others are all here all year round.

Wet ‘n Wild Canyoning
While there’s some debate on a definition of the sport of canyoning (kloofing in SA), most kloofers agree that the highlight of the activity involves plunging from a steep cliff into a deep watercourse or river.
