It’s a unique and exhilarating way to explore one of Gauteng’s most popular leisure destinations.
The wide expanse of Hartbeespoort Dam is already a favourite playground for water lovers, but an airboat ride takes the fun to a whole new level. With their shallow draft, airboats can navigate places other craft can’t reach, whisking you into the scenic upper stretches of the Crocodile River. Towering cliffs rise on either side while birdlife flits overhead, and if you’re lucky, you may spot game along the banks.
This is adventure with variety: from high-speed thrills on open water to peaceful gliding through sheltered valleys, every moment offers something new. Families, friends, and couples alike will find it an unforgettable way to spend time outdoors.
Soak up the sunshine, feel the rush of wind and water, and see Hartbeespoort from a fresh perspective – airboat rides in Gauteng are a must for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
