Canoeing in Wilderness – A Family-Friendly Garden Route Escape
Slow Down. Drift Deep. Discover More.
Glide through the serene waters of the Touw River with Eden Adventures, where canoeing is more than a paddle—it’s a peaceful immersion into one of the Garden Route’s most beautiful corners.
Nestled in the Wilderness Section of the Garden Route National Park, this gentle trip winds through a lush river valley flanked by ancient Outeniqua yellowwoods, blooming Cape chestnuts, and shady milkwoods that lean over the water like nature’s canopy. Keep your eyes peeled—Knysna Turacos, Narina Trogons, and kingfishers make regular appearances, adding a splash of colour and song to your journey.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast or just need a digital detox, these stable canoes come equipped with waterproof containers—perfect for stashing binoculars, cameras, snacks, or even a picnic. The most popular route? A 40-minute paddle upstream, followed by a tranquil boardwalk walk to a hidden waterfall tucked inside the forest. Bring your swimmers—it’s the perfect spot to cool off.
Ready to kick things up a notch? Eden Adventures also offers kloofing and a thrilling 45-meter abseil beside a waterfall—ideal for the more adventurous in your group.
Perfect for families, solo adventurers, or anyone chasing a peaceful, picture-perfect day out.
