The Village itself is a perfect place to plan and organize activities such as mountain biking, hiking, Tree Top (Canopy) Tours, Abseiling, Climbing, blackwater Tubing and Bungee jumping from the Blaukrans River Bridge which at 216 meters, claims to be the highest in the world.

While in the area don’t miss the Tree-Top Tour which consists of sliding from tree to tree on a steel cable suspended 30 meters above the forest floor. Stop at platforms along the way and take in the beautiful scenery.
