About Paddle Power Adventures

Being less than an hour away from Johannesburg makes the adventures and accommodation in Hartbeespoort pretty irresistible, especially for families. This is an ideal weekend getaway or a fab spot to set up camp (so to speak) and stay for the summer holidays because it's beautiful and offers so much variety in terms of things to see and do.

Paddle Power Adventures is an adventure company that has been offering white water river rafting and abseiling experiences for decades. Paddle Power Adventures celebrates the beauty of the Hartbeespoort Dam and its surrounding mountain ranges by introducing visitors to the sheer fun and adrenalin-inducing adventure that awaits them here.

White Water River Rafting:
A river rafting excursion is on offer every morning and afternoon. Each excursion takes about two hours and covers five kilometres. Groups can be made up of between two and 40 people (two per raft) and are led by an experienced guide. You'll make your way through two weirs and then tackle a few exciting rapids, which range between class 1 and class 3. But, if you're lucky enough to visit after good rains, they may go up to class 4 – plenty of fun and laughs.

Abseiling:
Just a few minutes away from the rafting is the Pelindaba Nature Reserve, which is home to some impressive mountain faces. Descend a 25-metre cliff face from the safety of a harness to experience its rugged beauty from a completely different perspective.

Team Building:
Paddle Power Adventures also offers a range of team building activities and initiatives for a really fun and unique way to spend a day with colleagues.

These adventures are great for families, couples, bachelor(ette) parties, and school groups. All activities are suitable for children that are seven years or older. All of the necessary safety equipment is provided. Adventurers should dress comfortably and expect to get wet! There are ablutions, showers, and a fully licensed restaurant on site. The restaurant has stunning views of the river and beach.
