My husband did the sand boarding trip with Robert and I was the photographer! It was a fantastic experience. Robert was very personable and professional and it was great that we were the only ones on the dunes. The views are fantastic and my husband who is a snowboarder thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You have to be reasonably fit to keep climbing back up the dunes but well worth it ( I’m told!) We swam in the river then Robert then took us for a boat trip up the river which was lovely. Thoroughly recommend this activity and thank you Robert.

We booked a half day experience that included a 90 minute boat trip, a 90 minute sand boarding experience and a lunch at the restaurant. The boat trip took us to the river mouth where we had the opportunity to climb the sand dunes and had the most beautiful view of the beach, the bay and the valley. Then we went sand boarding - and as first timers we didn't know what to expect. After a short briefing session, we were allowed to practice and just have fun at our own pace, with no pressure. Our children and grand children thoroughly enjoyed it with us - the youngest 4 years old and the grandpa 60 years old. The lunch served was a home made burger with real meat patties, and home made potato chips. A lovely day spent with this company which we highly recommend you add to your to-do list.

We were on a large flat bottomed two storey boat. We had hired it for 2 1/2 hours.We cruised down the river to the Sand Dunes.Our children enjoyed sand boarding.Steep climb up the dunes, And then whizzing down on boards well waxed by the crew. Great views and miles of sand dunes.Very good birdwatching.Excellent!

Load shedding then 6 hour power outage then when power came on plugs didnt work so no tea or coffee. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The R2500 breakage fee were not stated clearly in the terms and conditions. Some of the sliding doors upstairs wouldnt open.

We were 5 Welsh Rugby supporters who booked a 2.5 hour Sunday afternoon boat trip up and down the Sunday River. We took our own drinks and snacks as stated on their website. The boat’s captain, Marius has great passion for and knowledge of the nature of the area, its history and we had a very special experience and we all enjoyed the trip on the water. Beautiful scenery. We also saw a variety of bird life and also some monkeys running to and from the banks of the river before disappearing in to the undergrowth. The river was filled with fish and it was fun manoeuvring up and down the river.
Thanks for a lovely trip Marius (Captain Ahab).

We booked a late afternoon, 2.5 hour cruise for R370 pp. We were very disappointed by what we got for our money, as we didn't get any drinks or snacks, and the cruise only lasted for 2 hours. We also didn't go very far up the river and all we really saw was the houses of Colchester. The most awkward moment of the trip was when a fish jumped into the boat and we had to listen to this fish dying for 20 minutes. All in all, very disappointed and would not recommend their river tours.

Thank you for your review and beneficial comments, we really appreciate all feedback so that we can improve our company daily. We deeply apologize for the fish incident, this was a huge fault on our behalf as our usual rule is to release the fish back into the river if he jumps onto our boat. Our guide made a big error and will now know how to deal with it better in future. We would also like to apologize for the trip only being kept to the one side of the river. It was done this way because of the wind which would not have allowed us to go closer to the river mouth. We hope our faults can be forgiven and that you could please come back and join us for a free cruise on a better day. Thank you for your understanding.

The most outstanding views of sand sea and sky. Sundays river mouth and dunes definitely a hidden secret. This is right on our doorstep and at the Addo entrance. Definitely a must to add onto your Addo trip should be done Sandboarding and sunset cruises. Karl is a great host and the evening cruises provide sightings of fish eagles, kudu and even elephants. Highly revommended

Was so much adrenaline. No wonder my kids call me FOREVER YOUNG. Staff was so helpful and the group i was with was fun.
Fell a few times, but eventually got the balance right and will never forget the experience!

Went sandboarding with a buddy and it was so much fun! Karl took good care of us and we had a blast! I didn't know they also had a houseboat on air B&B or I would have stayed there for a unique experience.
A must do for everyone in the Port Elizabeth area!

Good day, a little background leading to my request. My granddaughter is at Beyond Adventure in Alicedale for the year. We are from Pretoria visiting in Port Alfred to celebrate. Last week we celebrated my moms 81st birthday, today we celebrate mine, coming Wednesday we celebrate our wedding anniversary, Friday we celebrate my husband"s birthday and Saturday my granddaughter turn 19. As she is under strict rules at Beyond Adventure, I would love to spend a day away with her to celebrate. We will be travelling from Port Alfred to collect her. As there are no place close to Alicedale to spend the day together, I would like to do a boattrip for the 4 of us. Will this be possible and if so, where to book?
Written 6 March 2018
I apologise. I have been tied up and first check on tripadvisor in a while. Hope you resolved your request and had a great celebration.
