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.

We really enjoyed it. It completed our trip, first the view of the Three Rondavels from Mariepskop and then from the Blyde River Canyon! The staff were friendly and the guide made it informative. Thank you very much. - Carina
Lovely experience! So happy we made time to do the cruise during our short stay in Hoedspruit. Breathtaking scenery... very relaxed.... informative in a fun way. - Sanet
What a beautiful location to visit. This experience is definitely a must! Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a fantastic sense of humour. Great skipper as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone. A must on your bucket list! - Zenda
Nice cruise through a wonderful landscape with a good guide. - Koen
We enjoyed our boat cruise during August 2024, with excellent guides and information shared with guests. Well worth the ticket price. The road to the car park is bumpy so be careful. It's first come first served when getting on the boat so if you want to sit in a large party, bear this in mind. - James
