Stormsriver Adventures — discover the heart of Tsitsikamma

Nestled within the heart of the Tsitsikamma National Forest, Stormsriver Adventures offers travellers a range of eco-adventure activities. Founded in 1998, they have maintained their identity as a responsible tourism company while offering memorable activities. Alongside zip-lining, they offer a Woodcutters Journey through the forest, guided hikes, team building and a self-catering accommodation. Stormsriver Adventures provides a unique way to explore one of South Africa’s most iconic forests.   

Adventure-based activities in the heart of Tsitsikamma with Stormsriver Adventures

The Canopy Tours with Stormsriver Adventure was the first of its kind in Africa. Surrounded by towering Hard Pear trees and the iconic Giant Yellowwoods, adventurers can gently glide through the canopies. With platforms rising thirty meters above the forest floor, each trip lasts around two to two and a half hours. Adventurers are taken through a safety briefing before the trip begins to ensure that everyone feels well-prepared.   

Their Tsitsikamma Woodcutters Journey is a unique way to experience the true beauty of the Tsitsikamma forest. Within the comfort of a specially designed vehicle, their guides will take travellers along the same migratory route used by the local elephants. Surrounded by yellowwoods and stinkwoods, discover the history of the local area including their ‘Forest Guards’, and a stone building once used by hunters.    

Walk through the forest with their Guided Hikes. With multiple routes accompanied by expert guides, each trail offers a truly memorable experience. The Goesa Hiking Trail is only 2km long, perfect for beginner hikers alongside the 5km Green Route. More intermediate hikers will enjoy the 7.78km Red Route, which takes approximately three hours to complete. The Yellow Route, also known as the Woodcutters on Foot, spans just over 8km. The longest hike offered is the Combined Red and Yellow Route, which spans exactly 11.2km. Lasting between four and five hours, this route cannot be booked online due to its duration.   

Team building and self-catering accommodation 

At Stormsriver Adventures, they combine a variety of their activities to create memorable team buildings. From four available discounted combo packages, including the Photographic Scavenger Hunt with a Guided Hike, Woodcutters on Foot to canopy tours, scavenger hunts, and guided hikes, there is an activity to suit every team-building need.  

The Forest Nest Cottage is situated along the edge of the forest and offers a comfortable stay with adventure at its doorstep. Mountain-facing, this three-bedroom cottage comes with all the amenities needed for a self-catering stay. It accommodates families of four or six couples with comforting facilities and services.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
