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 loved it! Very friendly and professional staff! Very informative as well! The guides also have a nice sense of humour, but they also take their job and your safety, very seriously.

Dit was 'n lekker ervaring. Ons twee gidse was vriendelike en behulpsaam en het dit maklik gemaak vir ons om dit te geniet. Die omgewing is pragtig en dit was 'n bonus om twee Knysna Loeries te sien. Die foto's en video's wat hulle geneem het is mooi en lekker om na te kyk. Ons kan die oomblikke weer herleef. Baie dankie vir die lekker ervaring, ons sal dit nog baie lank onthou. - Alfrieda Pretorius
