Customer Reviews

Hi Les, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Perhaps time could be extended to allow for a dip in the river after the sand sledding to get of all the sand ?. Fun 2 and a half hours - friendly and informative host/owner, will spread the word - Justine


The Grade 6 learners from DSG and their two accompanying teachers absolutely loved the cruise down the Sundays River. Despite the light "precipitation," our captain kept us well informed and thoroughly entertained. The highlight for the girls was definitely sliding down the dunes into the water. Thank you for such a wonderful morning on the river. - DSG


On behalf of the visiting school group, and teachers..... A great experience, especially for children. Captain Les is a competent, experienced leader of the whole exercise and so nice to see his personal involvement in the sand sledding activity. And such a scenic cruise. Well done. - LVS


My Mom amd I had a fantastic time on this cruise with sand sledging! I highly recommend it as it really is great fun to wiz done the dunes. Super relaxing cruising down the river spotting wildlife as you float alone. The dunes are stunning too, steeped in history, an absolute must see! Everything was very well organised from start to finish. Maggie and Les are so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I highly recommend using these guys for this activity! - Genna


The experience was out of this world. I enjoyed the river cruise, first time on a boat loved every moment. I didnt know Port Elizabeth had beautiful views like i saw and the sand sledding was awesome - Siseko
