Kayak Guided Tours

Hartbeespoort Dam has almost 19 kilometers of surface area , With 150 Kilometers of unique shore line to explore . We have traveled the Dam and found many beautiful locations , coves and shallows (some being nearly impossible to reach by boat) and in doing so we have compounded these Adventures into 5 Routes for you to enjoy. Join one of our trained guides as they take you and your crew along one of our 5 tailored routes that span Hartbeespoort Dams vast surface.

Guides may use discretion to alter tours to give you the best Dam day possible.

Disclaimer: Hartbeespoort Dam does have invasive plants ie. Hyacinth which shift position on a daily basis. These plants do help keep the water clean, so we work around it. It is fairly easy to paddle through but we will avoid it as much as possible. We know the dam well and will do our best to improvise need be to make your day memorable in a good way :)
