      Best experience ever!
      Best time ever!! Darren and Steph were amazing guides and made sure we were safe but mainly had fun. They were encouraging enough to push you out of your comfort zone but happy to let you go at your own pace if that's what you prefer. They take photos as you go and capture the experience perfectly so you can just focus on having the best time. Couldn't recommend it highly enough. Thanks again to Darren & Steph for making our holiday one to remember

      Fun experience
      We had a really great experience Canyoning. This was a great way to get a little bit of an adrenaline rush, while seeing Africa off the usual city path that some might take on a road trip. The guides were encouraging and if you were afraid of heights, ensured you stayed up front and had support the entire time. There was one guide who did make some inappropriate comments and jokes, several which were sexual in nature which made me uncomfortable (such as “are you ready sexy?” Before jumping). Other than that, this was a fantastic experience.

      My first canyon trip!
      It was an amazone canon trip with high jumps from the rocks and great abseilers. I'm 64 years old and have a good condition. The guides guided all of us very good and followed strictly the rule: 'safety first'. They had a good sense of humor. I liked it to do this with my son. Thnx!

      Great fun in the canyon!
      We had a terrific time with Julian and Warren in the canyon. The guys were professional and fun and made sure we were both safe and having a good time throughout. This activity was reasonably challenging in that your balance is tested, but not anything a reasonably fit person can't handle. We went with our kids 9, 12 and 14 and they crushed it. If you're considering this and you have kids in this age range and they are adventurous they will absolutely love it. Additionally, the entire staff from Essie with great communication to the guys helping us get sorted at base camp and driven to the drop off were A+ pros and helped make for a great experience.

      If you needed a sign in order to do it, this is it😍😍😍
      One of the best experience of my life. Major thanks to Darren and Steph for being the best tour guides. They were patient, reassuring, and so so kind. They even gave me a push when I got tired of swimming😂. From arrival to the end of the trip, everyone was so welcoming. As for what actually happens in the canyoning tour, you have to experience it yourself to understand😍😍😍. Words wouldn't do it justice. Thank you Darren and Steph, I'll BE BACK ✌🏾✌🏾

      EPIC adventure!
      We had the most AMAZING adventure with Africanyon. Our guides, Puna & Steph were incredible, fun, informative and great with our youngest who was nervous but instantly became the leader of the pack! The best experience from start to finish. It is SUCH FUN! We are so privileged to have this on our doorstep. Cannot wait to do it again

      Awesome experience!
      My wife and I had a fantastic canyoning experience. Abseiling, zip-lining and swimming our way down the river was an amazing way to spend the morning as we saw the beauty that South Africa has to offer. Warren & Puna were brilliant guides, ensuring that we were safe at all times but also had a really fun time!

      We had lots of fun on our canyon adventure. Our guides Steph, Darren and Tom guided us perfectly through the afternoon, made us feel safe - and all with a cheerful, fun atmosphere at the same time. Thanks for the experience!

      Great experience but don't bother paying for photos!
      Went with my son and had a fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone of any age. Darren & Steph were great guides. The only thing that stops me giving this 5 stars is that I paid 200 Rand for pictures of the trip - I was promised that they would email me a link for the pictures once they were uploaded. More than 2 weeks since then I have heard nothing. This is really disappointing and has taken the shine off it for me. I strongly suggest that people enjoy the activity but save the money on the pictures.

      Amazing water adventure
      The activity was amazing, the path was safe. Puna and Warren were our guides and they were helpful and funny and we had a wonderful water adventure. It felt a bit rushed during the activity as we didn’t have the opportunity to take group pictures so would have liked the experience to go a little slower but apart from that all was amazing and would do it again.

    On arrival we were very nervous but were greeted by the most amazing guide, Tabs, he was friendly, and humorous, with an amazing energy. He put us at ease. He together with Darren helped us throughout the trip, ensuring our safety, being patient when we were unsure, encouraged us to continue. This trip was the hilight of our holiday, I would recommend it to all who visit here. Thank you Darren and Tabs, u guys are awesome.

    Absolutely amazing, unmissable experience. If you are an adrenaline junkie or a bit of a chicken this is for everyone. We did ours with 4 teenage girls (think acrylic talons and eyelashes) and they absolutely loved it, (as did us 4 middle aged parents). Prepare to be pushed out of your comfort zone in a very safe environment. Abseiling, jumping off rocks, zip lining, canyoning it was so much fun I can’t recommend it enough. The guides Darren at Tebz were funny, enthusiastic and didn’t give you a chance to hesitate (which is what we needed). We laughed the whole time, they were fabulous. It wasn’t cold at all, the wetsuits were comfortable and kept us warm. The scenery is out of this world. Any age or ability can do this, it’s a must do if you are in the area. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

    Not for the faint of heart or the unfit! We did a 2-hour kloofing experience with Warren and Black1 as our guides, and it was amazing! It's high intensity activity for most of that time, involving abseiling at the start, then hiking, then jumping off multiple cliffs into the water, some swimming, and a high line at the end. It was tough but exhilarating! Warren and Black1 were fabulous--they took great care of us and were patient with us while maintaining a great sense of humor. Highly recommend doing this in the Plett area for a different but exciting way to experience the canyons!

    The scenery and space is amazing & the adventure & safety are very well. However the guides were doing it like it’s a job, not for us to have fun. One of us was informing them that the helmet was too big that it covered her eyes, they shushed her. The vibe was dead as if we were doing some sort of homework. There was so passion or energy, which is an important part of such an activity. I don’t recommend going with Warren or Puna. They were lazy to capture special moments for the pictures which we paid 250 ZAR for. Few pictures are while jumping or zip lining, most have no activity. I really wish we did it with someone else l. We heard Nicky & Tepz were great though

    Went on a volunteer trip in S Africa and on a day off we all tried the 2 hour “kloofing” or canyoning trip. We went with Sims (the strongest and most badass female I’ve ever met) and Steph and both of them made our trip not only memorable but adventurous and fun for everyone. We couldn’t stop smiling and laughing and even made life long friends with them. I highly recommend going here if you want to add some extra fun to your trip

    We did a family trip to knysna from CPT and along the route we search high and low on Google for an adventure to do for my soon to be 12 year old daughter who's turn out to be a adrenaline junkie. So many Google searches and pit stops later, we found the Africanyon flyer. We selected the 2 hour full monty which included abseiling which none of us had ever done as well as zip lining which was what Mt daughter was after. On the Saturday morning we woke up excited for our activity only to be delayed at our Hotel. We call to shift our time slot and we're accommodated with no fuss. We arrived at the location and were greeted with friendly faces eager to assist us.

    We had the most amazing tour guides, Thembz and Darren who had us laughing from the get go, ensured our safety came first and encouraged us when we weren't so sure of ourselves. We couldn't have selected a better activity and had the best team guiding us through our adventure in the Canyon.

    I would highly recommend this for a family adventure, team building, a group of friends, I recommend everyone tries this amazing experience.

    We had a great experience with Puna and Warren. I was a bit nervous heading into this, not having done anything like it before, but the guides were knowledgeable, patient and I always felt safe. They have alternative routes if you feel unsure about a jump or belaying. We went on a rainy day and while it was a bit chilly, even in the rain it was a wonderful time.

    The entire experience was amazing. The guides were so patient with our entire group. They showed passion for their job, had great regard for our safety, were EXTREMELY patient with the more scared members of the group, all while providing good banter and engaging with the group. The trip had abseiling, waterfall jumps, mini zip lines and a lot of swimming. A must do for all the adrenaline junkies and those wanting to face their fears!!

    Shout out to Stef, Warren, Puna and Fin for making this an adventure to remember. You are legends!

    I enjoyed the abseiling, the high lining and zip lining a lot. I enjoyed the swimming because the water was nice and cold, the rock jumping was highly enjoyable as well. Our guides’ names were
    Tebz and Steph, they were very entertaining whilst still informing the group what to do.

    I travel and adventure all over the world, and Simms and Stephan were some of the best guides I’ve ever had. They made an a thrilling experience so much more amazing than I ever expected. Great personalities, humor, and were very supportive and encouraging to some of the people in my group who were timid and scared of certain parts of the experience. I would absolutely recommend this outfit to anyone seeking thrills in beautiful jungle river canyons!!! Absolutely Brilliant
