Located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, Storms River is the one of the most adventurous regions in the country.

The following are the top five reason why you should visit the Storms River.
You can take a passenger boat from the Storms River mouth, in Tsitsikamma National Park, which departs every 45 minutes and you can admire the views around you and the spectacular Storms River gorge. You can see many colorful birds in the sky, fishes, stingrays and maybe even sharks in the river. Keep in mind, though, that at some points of the cruise, the fern-encrusted walls are so tall and the river so narrow, that you can barely see the blue sky above you. If you wish to be more adventurous, you can also prefer some kayaking further up the river.
