1hr30min Blyde River Canyon Boat Cruise 10 seater (BCAC)

Hoedspruit

Blyde dam boat trips open and compliant to Covid regulations

Activity Description

Enjoy the splendour of the third largest Canyon in the world. Unquestionably being the largest ‘green canyon’ due to its lush Subtropical foliage. An interpretation tour by a tour guide will take you to the you to the rare living Kadishi Tufa waterfall and the Three Rondawels. An abundance of wildlife will keep you distracted while learning more about the natural history of the Blyde Canyon.

The Blyde River canyon supports large diversity of life, including numerous fish and antelope species as well as Hippos and Crocodiles, primate species and a diversity of birdlife such as the African Fish Eagle, African Finfoot and much more.

Possibly the best view in the whole of the Blyde River Canyon is of the “Three Rondavels”, huge, round rocks, thought to be reminiscent of the houses or huts of the indigenous people, known as rondavels. The Canyon is famous for the Kadishi Tufa waterfall. At 200m (around 660 feet) in height it is the second tallest Tufa waterfall on earth. In the case of the Kadishi Tufa fall, the formation that has been produced strikingly resembles a face which is crying profusely, and is thus sometimes known as the weeping face of nature.

Customer Reviews

We had a blast on the Blyde River Cruise. It was both very exciting as insightful. We learned alot and saw amazing sights around this beautiful sight. Thank you to the staff for this amazing memory. - Hein


We did like the Boat Cruise very much. The Guide was excellent and we were impressed with his ability to spot even the smallest animals. He was very friendly and gave a lot of information about the Blyde Canyon. We wil for sure recommend the Boat Cruise to our friends! - Bert


Die Bootstour auf dem Blyde River Canyon ist absolut empfehlenswert und lohnt auch eine etwas langere Anfahrt. Es ist sehr beeindruckend, den Canyon von unten zu sehen. Die Tour dauert ca 1,5 Stunden und wir hatten das Gluck ein Krokodil zu sehen sowie Hippos, die gerade ins Wasser gingen. Die Fahrt ist recht gemutlich und man kann auch auf dem Boot herum laufen und uneingeschrankt fotografieren. - Dazu ist das Ganze noch recht gunstig. - Ingrid


Thanks for a Nice calm boat ride value for money when you only are 10 People. seeing forward to elektrisk engine ??? whit No sound just idea - Ulrich
