Kayaking in Wilderness National Park is an adventure that blends rhythm, strength, and scenery along the Garden Route’s most breathtaking waterways. With winding rivers, tranquil lagoons, and mountain backdrops, the park offers the perfect setting to dip your paddle and glide into the heart of nature.
Unlike canoeing’s slower pace, kayaking lets you cover more distance and explore further. Trace the Serpentine River as it twists toward Island Lake, or head into narrow channels where forest meets water. The park’s calm stretches are ideal for beginners, while those craving a workout can push against currents or venture upriver to hidden waterfalls.
Along the way, expect close encounters with birdlife—kingfishers, herons, and even the call of the African fish eagle. Every stroke offers a fresh perspective on Wilderness, where silence is broken only by your paddle cutting the surface. Whether solo or in tandem, kayaking here is equal parts exploration and exhilaration.
