Groot Brak Rivier (meaning "Great Brackish River" in Afrikaans) offers a completely different pedal boat experience. Here, you'll glide along peaceful river waters with the majestic Outeniqua Mountains rising in the background.
The calm, flat waters of the river make this location ideal for families with younger children or anyone who prefers a more relaxed paddling experience. There are no waves to contend with, just pure, peaceful fun.
The Groot Brak Rivier Waterfront area is a hidden gem on the Garden Route, offering a quieter alternative to the busier coastal beaches while still providing all the amenities you need for a perfect day out.
