Description
Experience a World of Diversity in One Forest – Just a short drive from Knysna and 2 hours from Port-Elizabeth. Situated in the Garden of the Garden Route and heart of Tsitsikamma – Stormsriver Village.
Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour is an Award-Winning Canopy Tour company that turns Tourism activities into Tourism experiences! Enjoy being suspended 30m above the forest floor on the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, cable sliding from ten platforms, tree to tree while discovering the spectacular and unique wilderness of the Tsitsikamma Indigenous forest. Surrounded by birdlife and giant trees like the Outeniqua Yellowwood, known to us as Uncle Sam who is over 600 years old! One can easily feel like a dwarf standing against it.
Itinerary
The tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a 'kitting up' session where a full-body harness, pulleys, and climbing equipment is issued and checked. A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around!
From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first tree platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods, provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting new world - any fear of heights is soon lost as you gather in your new surroundings.

We had so much fun on the canopy tour. Guides are super welcoming, fun and ensure a super sage experience. Highly recommended!
Great family adventure , beautiful scenic nature experience. Very professional and well trained staff. Safe and fun for all ages
My Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour experience was amazing, from the safety briefing, to the instructors, to the ziplining itself. Was certainly a trip to remember!
Fantastic experience in this beautiful beautiful part of the world.
The Woodcutter's Journey /tour was exceptional - the guides are absolutely fantastic and their knowledge of the region and the forest is incredible.
We learned a whole lot from them.
The packed lunch is a very very nice touch.
They provide blankets on the forest truck in case guests get chilly.
This is a very unique experience for anyone wanting to learn more about the Tsitsikamma (and Garden Route region and its history.)
Did the wood cutters tour. Stephen and Charl were great. Will definitely recommend it to those traveling in the area, worth the money!
