Durban - Gondola Rides

Durbs, as it has long been affectionately referred to in South Africa, is a swirl of colour and coolness and golden beaches.The best place to experience the rich flavours of this vibrant Indian Ocean city is to walk, run, rickshaw ride or roller-skate (or use any non-motorised form of transport you prefer) along the Golden Mile. It should actually be called the Golden Miles since the recent extension of this beach front promenade has made it almost 5 miles of food, fun, surfing, sun, entertainment and more recently, gondola riding. From the architecturally stunning Moses Mabhida Stadium on its northern border to the Ushaka Marine world at its southern end, here you will find Durban at its best.

The newly developed Point Waterfront can be found at this southern side. A sophisticated system of water-ways linked to the marine attraction has been created here and the best way to navigate them is in a Venetian style gondola. These gondola rides with your very own gondolier, allow you to explore the canals in a unique way that is fun and relaxed. The water is ecologically sound and usually crystal clear; many fish species can be spotted.

You can design a gondola experience to suit your special occasion- like a family milestone event or even a proposal and choose from a variety of optional extras. Picnics, treats in floating bottles, champagne and glasses- you create the exact gondola ride you can imagine.
