Wilderness National Park – Paddle into Paradise
Canoeing in Wilderness National Park is one of the purest ways to experience the Garden Route’s untamed beauty. With its calm rivers, meandering channels, and tranquil lagoons, this paradise of water and forest is tailor-made for exploration by paddle. Slip into a canoe and discover secret corners of the park that remain hidden from roads and footpaths, where the only sounds are your paddle dipping and the calls of birds in the reeds.

Glide beneath overhanging trees, watch for flashes of kingfishers hunting along the banks, and breathe in the earthy scent of fynbos and forest. Canoeing here is as much about the journey as the destination—whether you’re tracing the Serpentine River, heading upriver toward a waterfall, or simply drifting across still waters reflecting the Outeniqua Mountains.
Perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers, canoeing in Wilderness National Park is a soulful adventure that blends quiet exploration with unforgettable scenery.
