Blackwater Tubing AKA Stormsriver Tubing
Tsitsikamma Black Water Tubing, A.K.A. “Storms River Tubing” is a unique tubing, swimming, rock jumping & hiking adventure through the world renowned Tsitsikamma National Park on the Garden Route in South Africa
Currently the Black Water tubing trips are done from 1 September to the end of April
The Black water Tubing venture is based at Tube ‘n Axe Backpackers Lodge in Storms River Village (Garden Route South Africa) where the tubing trips start and finish.
The roughly four hour Black water Tubing adventure is conducted on sectors X,1, 2 and 3 of the Storms River Gorge running through the Tsitsikamma National Park in the heart of the Garden Route.
The gorge (currently managed by SANParks and The Department of Water and Forest Affairs The DWAF) is known for its spectacular scenery of high fern-clad rock walls, indigenous forests and bird life.
The river is classified as ‘Swiftwater’ and on medium to high water level, it holds little more than grade two rapids. These do however make for loads of fun and rock jumps are also optional up to approximately 8m in height.
The Tubing experience is one of scenic adventure and fun filled hours of swimming, rock hopping, rock jumps, bouncing down small bubbling rapids, kloofing and hiking Black Water Tubing is weather dependant and is closed on days when it is raining.
If a booking is cancelled due to rainy weather, upfront payments are refundable or the activity is switchable other activities in the surrounding area but price differences may apply. (See www.tsitsikamma.info)
During dry periods, river levels drop to such an extent that most rapids are too shallow to run, and the excursion becomes more of a kloofing experience.
