Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour is an Award-Winning Canopy Tour company that turns Tourism activities into Tourism experiences! Enjoy being suspended 30m above the forest floor on the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, cable sliding from ten platforms, tree to tree while discovering the spectacular and unique wilderness of the Tsitsikamma Indigenous forest. Surrounded by birdlife and giant trees like the Outeniqua Yellowwood, known to us as Uncle Sam who is over 600 years old! One can easily feel like a dwarf standing against it. The tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘kitting up’ session where a full-body harness, pulleys, and climbing equipment is issued and checked. A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around!From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first tree platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods, provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting new world – any fear of heights is soon lost as you gather in your new surroundings.

We had lisette and Joshua taking us on this tour, they made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable , they had such enthusiasm and made us all have the best time! Lisette especially I want to say thank you too as she saw I was struggling with holding my harness walking up the hill with the end and she offered to help me !! My kids especially loved it ! Highly recommended!! - Joanna Lesser
The experience was incredibly fun and exciting from start to finish. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and professional, which made everything feel safe and enjoyable. It was truly a fun and adventurous experience that I would happily do again. - Tristan Geldart (SkyVilla Boutique Hotel)
The 2nd time that I have experienced this canopy tour and it was just as much fun as the first time. Excellent safety briefing, both clear and concise. The guides / instructors assist with the equipment and make sure everything is attached safely and correctly to the body. The zip-lining was amazing and learnt so much about the environment as we moved throughout the canopy. Look out for the Knysna Louries that can be seen in the tree canopy as you zip line from one amazing tree to another. All in all, a wonderful experience which was both professionally conducted and fun. Highly recommend it to all visitors to the area. - Si Cunneen

Your amazing guides will run over a quick briefing and ensure all guests are confident with the quad bikes. From start to finish, the tour is filled with energy, fun and sights that are so beautiful you just want to stop and take it all in. The new route incorporates more technical sections but is still enjoyable and manageable for the newbie’s, moderate to experienced rider. This route takes you through the heart of the forest which is encompassed by sky-scraper trees and the indigenous forest. Like any great quad bike route, it has its fair share of muddy sections! You could enjoy this route time and time again as this scenery you don’t come across too often in your city life. It really gets you out of your comfort zone.

Was Great - Raiees Valley
The most wonderful experience !!! thank you team although we were late, you waited for us even came looking for us and still treated us as the most important guests. Will be seeing you again in future. Strongly recommend this to everyone old and young - Maggie Trow
It was a lot of fun and a new experience for a lot of our group. The route wasn't great though, or scenic - it was just on this dust road where you couldn't see anything because of all the dust. It would have been nice to drive within a forest or something like that. It was an out and back route. Be prepared to get very dirty. - Caryn Kennedy
This was a very nice experience and we received amazing service. Thank you Anela! - Marleina Nel
