Paddle the Orange River with Adventure Kayaking

If you love the outdoors and want to experience one of South Africa’s most iconic waterways, Adventure Kayaking on the Orange River is the perfect escape. Being based at Vanderkloof Dam, right next to the Orange River, makes it the perfect place to enjoy our passion for paddling which shines through every trip we lead, whether you’re joining us for a short, fun outing or an extended multi-day adventure.

Our signature journey is a 3-day guided Orange River trip, starting before Hopetown and ending just before Douglas. Along the way, you’ll paddle though spectacular scenery, camp on the sandy riverbanks, and soak in the tranquility of wide-open skies. For those who prefer a shorter getaway, we offer 1-day Kayaking or fishing trips on the river or dam. We offer alternative trips with comfortable accommodation if you’re not into camping.

If you’re looking for something unique, our 3-day Vanderkloof Dam experience combines kayaking, hiking, and nights under the stars at Bankfontein tented camp. Each itinerary is designed to balance fun, relaxation, and outdoor exploration.

Our groups are kept at a maximum of 10 and minimum of 4 people to give you a personalized experience. If you are looking for something special just for the family or friends, then Adventure Kayaking can assist you. We have top quality equipment and hearty meals plus the guidance of experienced safety conscious river guides.

One thing you’ll never have to worry about is if there is enough water - the Orange River is full, flowing and is always ready to welcome paddlers of all skill levels.

So, whether you’re a first-time kayaker or an experienced river enthusiast, Adventure Kayaking offers the perfect mix of fun, discovery, and relaxation. Bring your friends, family or colleagues and join us for an unforgettable journey on South Africa’s mighty Orange River.
