Absolutely AMAZING!!! Booked a 2nd snorkel the day after our first 1 - would snorkel with the seals everyday if I could. Bucket list item and a MUST DO when in Plett!!!! - Erin Bruton


Very unique experience! Up close and personal with these beautiful and funny creatures. - Cheryl Francken


it was a wonderful experience to go swimming with the seals. I felt totally safe all the time, also because our guide was very professional and gave us very good explanations on what to do and how to approach the seals. We even got to see the wreck and that was also a very special moment for all of us. So a huge thank you for making this possible! Highly recommended! - Martin Oehlmann

Activity Description

Experience a World of Diversity in One Forest – Just a short drive from Knysna and 2 hours from Port-Elizabeth. Situated in the Garden of the Garden Route and heart of Tsitsikamma – Stormsriver Village.

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.
