The Heads Adventure Centre

Canoeing/Kayaking

A Land rover transports you to the banks of the Knysna River in the magical Phantom Forest. You will receive some paddling skills from one of the qualified guides. The first 1.5km of slow moving water is great to master your canoe or Kayak before meandering deeper into the forest. Halfway you’ll stop for some light refreshments and a swim in the freshwater pool. Then the trip will continue. A lot of wildlife is often seen along the way such as monkeys, baboons and a large variety of bird species

The trip departs twice daily with the first trip at 08:30 and the second at 14:00. The tour lasts approximately four hours

No previous river experience is required.
