Tour Description
Come and explore the Breede River Valley and take a well-deserved break from the city. This unique valley is home to the Breede River, its wine farms and beautiful Hex River Mountains.
Only 1 and half-hours from Cape Town, close to the farming communities of Worcester and Ceres, this river is the ideal weekend breakaway from Cape Town.
The Breede River originates in the Great Hex River Mountains in Ceres and meanders through farm and wine lands and eventually takes a turn past Bonnievale and Swellendam before it joins the Indian Ocean at Witsand. It hosts a wide variety of bird life such as Fish Eagles, Black Eagles, Jackal Buzzards, Herons, Cormorants and King Fishers.
We offer 2 different areas on the Breede River and we chose the best option on the day of the tour. The water in the river fluctuates in winter and summer and therefore we shift venues, depending on the water level.
Equipment & Guides
We make use of 2-man inflatable rafts (crocodiles) with cooler box, dry bags, personal floatation devices and paddles included. The inflatable rafts are easy to control, safe and loads of fun.
Two or three qualified river guides with the necessary experience and knowledge of the river and the environment will guide you on your day of adventure through the Breede River Valley. No previous experience is needed and only a moderate fitness level is required.
We believe in responsible and sustainable tourism development and have the utmost respect for the beautiful African continent and its rivers. Please help us to keep our rivers clean and pristine.
