Half-Day Rafting

Half-Day rafting on the Orange River is an excellent adventure for the whole family. It is the perfect short stay adventure trail on offer.

We set our sights on introducing the Orange River to our day and en-route visitors. Our trails are ideal for the novice but accommodating to the adventure seeker within us. We kick off with an early morning cruise down the Orange River, jumping off cliffs, paddling and floating while talking in the perfect desert setting. The orange river has a great variety of birdlife. You can spot from fish eagles to herons and kingfishers. The reeds are very active with waterbirds and nesting bishops.

The Richtersveld mountains offer spectacular views.
