Two thumbs up - It was amazing. The views breathtaking. It was a chance to see the beautiful forest in a way that cannot be done from a vehicle

One of the top activities in wilderness. - Had a great cruise with a friendly and knowledgeable guide, Mike. We had our 9 month old baby with us - the cruise is suitable for children of all ages. Our guide was kind enough to take us on the cruise in the rain and the warm cup of coffee that was supplied went down very well. Trip advisor seems to have some issues there so I would just call to confirm the time with your guide. A great and beautiful experience. A must do if in Wilderness.

Taking a birdwatcher up the river - We were together. So got all the attention of Guide Chris. Clearly knew a lot about birds and knew how to point out birds time and again. A lot of knowledge and a casual atmosphere.

Take 90 minutes out and get one on one with nature - a must do whilst in Wilderness - A relaxing 90 minutes travelling along the River Touw. Chris was extremely knowledgeable about the many birds we saw and the vast array of trees and forna. My wife and I were the only people on the trip but were joined by Chris’s father who was equally knowledgeable, two for the price of one! If you fancy just relaxing for 90 minutes while you listen to nature and look at our beautiful world then this is perfect for you. We absolutely loved it!

Amazing Eco boat cruise up the Touws River - Everything was truly amazing!!! The wind was blowing extremely hard, and my husband and I, at one stage, was sprayed with water as we sat at the front, but it was fun. We enopyed the peace and quiet as we glided through the water and immersed ourselves in the beauty of nature. It's absolutely amazing how clear the water was as we travelled up the Touw River Valley. You can clearly see the bottom of the river. The forest along the river is so lush and beautiful and untouched by human hands. We trust that it will remain that way for future generations. We would definitely encourage everyone to take this trip and see for themselves how magnificent the area is.
