White Water Rafting

White water kayaking is allowed each year on the Palmiet River. Bookings for white water kayaking can be made through outside operators.

Gravity Adventures, a certified river operator, is permitted to take members of the public on the river.

Their trips are designed so that they can offer clients an exciting experience in both seasons and enables them to run all year round.

At medium and high water levels Gravity offers thrilling white-water rafting in two-person inflatable 'crocodiles’ or four person rafts, and at low levels they offer tubing trips on inflatable 'geckos'.

This innovative inflatable craft has been specially developed for the Palmiet. If used in a reclining position, it provides a comfortable way to drift lazily along the pools and channels of the river and if used facing forward, an exciting way of tackling the small rapids.

The Palmiet River Experience is suitable for all ages and skill levels - Gravity provides qualified and registered guides with an intimate knowledge of the river and its environment and instruction on how to steer your craft. Gravity supplies you with wetsuits and all safety equipment for the trip. Please bring towels, dry clothes and closed shoes or booties.
