About this experience
This isn’t just any zipline — it’s Africa’s very first zipline Canopy Tour, set in the heart of the breathtaking Tsitsikamma rainforest. You’ll soar between ancient giants on a series of elevated platforms and ziplines, suspended up to 30 metres above the forest floor — and every moment is packed with wonder.
What makes it truly unique is the perfect blend of adventure, nature, and meaningful storytelling. Guided by trained local experts, you’ll learn about the region’s incredible biodiversity, the towering Yellowwood trees, and the cultural history of this magical place — all while flying through the treetops!
This is a Fair Trade Tourism-certified activity, meaning your adventure directly supports conservation and community upliftment. It’s safe, family-friendly, and unforgettable, making it a must-do along South Africa’s famous Garden Route.
Don’t just visit the forest. Fly through it.
