The Karkloof Canopy Tour® has been built in a spectacular valley of the mist belt podocarpus Karkloof Forest Reserve. The Karkloof Canopy Tour consists of 12 platforms and 10 zip-line slides, the longest of which is 200m! A tour lasts approximately two hours, this is a safe, fun adventure for people between the ages of 6 and 80+ and includes refreshments during the tour and a light lunch served at the end.
The Karkloof Canopy Tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘Kitting up’ session where full-body harness, pulleys, and climbing equipment are put on and checked for safety. A short scenic 4×4 drive to the top of the Karkloof valley and it is time to monkey around! From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a safety guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms are built high up in the forest canopy and all offer different views of the surrounding forest, a magnificent 20m waterfall, clear sparkling forest stream and across the expansive Karkloof valley far below.
Spend a couple of minutes relaxing on the platforms while your guides enthusiastically explain the ecology of the forest – pointing out different trees and the magnificent giant ferns way below. The birdlife is incredible. This includes the opportunity of spotting Emerald Cuckoos, Knysna Turaco, a wide variety of raptors and if you are lucky, the elusive Narina Trogon or endangered Cape Parrots. The forest is also home to a variety of mammals, but it is the loud calls and fearsome tree swinging of the Samango monkeys that you will remember best.
Tours run at specific time slots. BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL!

Highly recommend this exhilarating experience. We had such fun soaring through the gorge. The facilitators were extremely professional, very welcoming and engaging and made sure everyone had clear instructions for approaching each of the ten ziplines. The guides made sure that the kids were well looked after and we had a great day out. Thank you Canopy Tours Karkloof!

My grandchildren were elated by the canopy experience. Aged 12 and 9, they were impressed by the final 200m run. All aspects of the tour were safe and exciting, flying through the forest. It was easy to book and pay for by EFT, with easy confirmation and instructions on when to arrive 20 minutes before the time.
