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.

We took the tour on the small boat (maximum 10 people), and we really enjoyed it. The guide and boatman were excellent. Because of these numbers, everyone had the opportunity to ask questions. Highly recommended and a must-do on your to-do list. - P.
Absolutely amazing from start to finish out tour guide ALI was incredible. very informative and had Hawke eyes, the scenery was out of this world and the wildlife was an added bonus. This is a must do!!! - Monique
We had an amazing time on the boat cruise. Ali was our tour guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The boat was clean and comfortable, would recommend the afternoon one due to less sun exposure. The atmosphere between the mountains is cool and refreshing and the view of the 3 Roundavels is exquisitely beautiful. We spotted crocodiles, Hippos and beautiful birds. Highly recommend this one for anyone who is looking for something refreshing, relaxing with great scenery. - Itumeleng
