The Half-Day Orange River Rafting trail is a perfect short stay adventure option for travellers and families passing through the Richtersveld and Orange River region. We meet at our base camp, The Growcery, pack our rafts and get dropped off upstream. We will then float downstream, looking for birds and the life the river offers while we can enjoy our paddle back to camp. If you choose to have lunch included in your trail, your guide will stop halfway through and prepare a fresh salad for lunch.
Paddlers enjoy the relaxed environment and magnificent mountain views along the Orange River. This adventure is suitable for every season right through the year. This half-day trail is suitable for anyone, even without any previous experience. Our team will supply all rafting equipment and transfers to the starting point of our trail. The end of departure varies depending on the water level of the Orange River.
You can expect first degree rapids, fast-flowing channels, and exciting weirs along your way. Working farms surround the Half-Day Orange River Rafting trail. Reed beds along the banks of the river and granite rocks formations with lava deposits. There is fantastic birdlife along the banks of the Orange River. The most common sightings will be Goliath heron, fish eagles, jackal buzzards, gymnogene, cormorants, Egyptian geese, African black ducks, weavers, and migrating birds.
Our Half-Day Orange River Rafting highlights our rock jump underneath the yellow cliffs. Rock jumping is optional for those who seek a more adventurous experience. This trip is not a race but rather a relaxed introduction to the Richtersveld desert and its rugged mountains.
Join our team and enjoy a fun day on the Orange River during your visit.
