Sandboarding & Watersports Adventures on the Sundays River

Looking for adventure near Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)? Sundays River Adventures offers the perfect mix of sand, water, and adrenaline. Situated on the banks of the beautiful Sundays River, this outdoor activity hub is best known for its thrilling sandboarding experiences on the famous Alexandria dune fields. These dunes are among the largest in the southern hemisphere, offering endless golden slopes for hours of fun.

Your sandboarding adventure begins with a short boat ride across the river, adding a scenic touch before you hit the dunes. All equipment is provided, along with a quick lesson, so both beginners and experienced sandboarders can enjoy themselves. You can choose between two types of boards: flat boards for lying or sitting, or stand-up boards with bindings that ride just like a snowboard. Tours last 2 to 3 hours, and groups from 2 up to 60 people are welcome. It’s a family-friendly experience too – kids as young as three can join in the fun.

If sandboarding isn’t enough, Sundays River Adventures also offers a variety of watersports. Test your balance with wakeboarding or waterskiing, or enjoy pure thrills with tubing and the unique “wake snake.” Packages range from short 15-minute rides to full-day water adventures, complete with lessons and equipment. For something more relaxed, book a river cruise lasting 1.5 or 2.5 hours and soak up the beauty of the Sundays River and surrounding landscapes.

Whether you’re seeking adrenaline or a scenic escape, Sundays River Adventures combines the best of South Africa’s dunes and waterways for an unforgettable outdoor experience.
