Blyde dam boat trips open and compliant to Covid regulations
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.

The boat cruise was a wonderful experience: "Class" and "Educate" made it well worth the money> From the history of the Blyde River to the three rondavels (Three Sisters) to the wildlife we saw, such as birds, crocodiles, monkeys etc. they are very much knowledgeable and truly educate us in all aspects. The fact that they were so patient in their search for animals and brought us closer to all the fascinating things they needed to share and show was very impressive. they responded to our questions as if they were the founders of the whole scenery. the definitely deserve a raise. well done to them for feeding us with knowledge we left the cruise full they made it so much more enjoyable and engaging. may they keep up the good work. - amanda
