Kayak Tours
If you enjoy the outdoors, paddling a kayak is like back-packing on water. You get
to go to places and see things you would not have been able to without some form
of paddle craft.
To optimise the use of your boat Canoe & Kayak World will co-ordinate self-catering
overnight and multi-day “expeditions” on a regular basis throughout the year. We
will help make experiencing the inland waterways and coastal waters easier and safer.
We arrange the logistics, the put-ins, the take-outs, and the shuttle from start
to finish as well as a group of fellow paddle enthusiasts. This enables you to paddle
in places you possibly wouldn’t venture to otherwise.
These tours take us to some of the most remote and breathtaking areas throughout
Southern Africa, to Dams like Vanderkloof, Gariep, Sterkfontein and Ebenezer - places
offering isolated beaches, kloofs, waterfalls, and bushveld with an abundance of
game and beauty.
We paddle various sections of the Orange River, including the stretch through the
rugged, arid but very beautiful Richtersveld.
The turquoise tropical waters of the Mozambican Coast with island and mangrove swamps
to navigate is another annual favourite.
Slightly higher up north we paddle on Lake Malawi a freshwater marine reserve and
World Heritage Site, an area of overwhelming beauty.
The Garden Route is a popular and awe-inspiring week-long adventure where we set
up a central camp and paddle various sections of coastline, inland rivers, estuaries
and lagoons.
In addition to the above we also offer regular “closer to home” get-togethers on
the Vaal River, Vaal Dam, Loskop Dam, Rust-de-Winter, Hartbeespoort Dam, Vaalkop
Dam and anywhere else we can find. Surf weekends are another popular paddle-weekend
with tuition on how to paddle in and out of the surf.
These are organised through our E-Groups, which helps us to keep you notified of
what we have to offer and also allows you to find like minded paddlers to join you
on a trip of your own. Kayak touring is enjoyed by all outdoor / water enthusiasts,
the young and elderly, male and female, families, couples and singles. It is a lifestyle
enhancing activity.
