Canopy and Forest Tour

Storms River Adventures. Want a turaco's-eye view of the treetops? Storms River Adventures will take you deep into the forest, where you don a harness, climb up to a platform, clip in, and "fly" on long cables from platform to platform. You can even control your speed. The cost is R495 (including a light lunch), and a double DVD with video and downloadable photos costs an extra R160. Storms River Adventures also offers the Woodcutter's Journey, a gentle, open-vehicle tour of the forest and the old Storms River Pass. Knowledgeable guides expound on the flora and fauna, as well as the interesting history of the region. You end it all with lunch or tea at a beautiful picnic site next to the Storms River, where wagons would stop more than a century ago. The tea trip costs R200, and the lunch trip R250.
