Kloofing in Wilderness with Eden Adventures – Leap into the Gorge

The Garden Route is famous for its dramatic landscapes, and kloofing with Eden Adventures is one of the best ways to experience them. Based in Wilderness, this operator has been guiding adventurers through the spectacular Kaaimans Gorge for decades, combining natural beauty with heart-racing fun. Their half-day kloofing trip is ideal for first-timers and seasoned thrill seekers alike, offering the perfect mix of hiking, swimming, and optional cliff jumps.

Your kloofing journey begins with a scenic 30-minute forest walk down to the river, where the adventure kicks off. From here, you’ll follow the watercourse downstream on a rock-hopping hike, weaving between pools and boulders as the gorge walls rise dramatically above you. Along the way, refreshing swims in crystal-clear pools provide cool breaks, and wetsuits and buoyancy aids are supplied for comfort and safety.

One of the highlights of kloofing with Eden Adventures is the chance to leap from natural rock ledges into deep pools. The jumps, ranging from 2 to 12 metres, are always optional, so you can choose your level of thrill while still enjoying every part of the canyon. Even if you skip the jumps, the sheer beauty of the gorge – with its indigenous forest clinging to towering cliffs – makes this an unforgettable experience.

With expert guides ensuring safety and fun at every step, Eden Adventures offers kloofing that’s both accessible and exhilarating. Whether you come for the adrenaline of the jumps, the joy of swimming in hidden pools, or the wonder of exploring one of South Africa’s most striking gorges, this is an adventure that captures the essence of Wilderness.
