Overnight Trip
Day1: We meet at a pre- arranged point and time where we will have a briefing on the day’s activities and a short safety speech. The day starts with a relaxing paddle for 3 - 4 hours on the beautiful Breede River, lunch is served on a picnic style basis along the river and we have time to enjoy the scenic Hex River Mountains that guard over this fertile valley.
After completing our rafting adventure, we prepare for our overnight mobile camp on the banks of the Breede River. We will have a well deserved shower and a few cold drinks, before the guides serve us a delicious meal prepared on an open fire.
Day 2: We have breakfast before departing home.
