South Coast KwaZulu-Natal Adventures

Comprising over 120 kilometres of pristine coastline, the South Coast offers an exotic combination of lush sub-tropical foliage and warm ocean waters that make for an idyllic setting for a variety of outdoor activities. Aside from numerous coves that offer excellent fishing, as well as renowned dive sites, there are peaceful lagoons that are perfect for a variety of water-based activities.

The Natal South Coast truly offers adventure activities for everyone. There are two dive sites of world-class standards that are suitable for beginners and advanced divers alike, as well as a number of world renowned surfing spots. Along the shore of the South African South Coast there are many shipwrecks of historical significance that are just waiting to be explored. The region has nine 18-hole golf courses, some of which have been designed by famous golfing greats, and all of which are sure to be enjoyed by golfing enthusiasts. Further inland there are a number of nature reserves, which offer 14 birding routes that are perfect for the avid ornithologist.

Inland from the coast the landscape becomes rugged and mountainous, with gorges and rivers that create spectacular natural vistas. Mountain trails meander through indigenous trees and are perfect for hiking and 4x4 off-road expeditions. Alternatively you could follow these trails with extreme adventure operators who will aid you in abseiling down a sheer cliff, or white water rafting through treacherous rapids. The Umzimkulwana River features areas of black-water rafting where the rapids are graded three, for maximum thrills and excitement. The South Coast is also home to the world’s highest gorge swing, Oribi Gorge, which swings alongside a waterfall.

The South Coast combines heart-stopping, adrenalin-filled activities with the gentle, natural beauty of a varied landscape to make this one of the leading tourist destinations of our magnificent country. Accompanied by excellent South Coast accommodation this is the perfect weekend- or holiday getaway.
