So what is Kloofing: it is an outdoor adventure that involves the descent of a watercourse using specified equipment and specialised techniques excluding a watercraft. The course or courses are waterways filled with various hazards that can be difficult to negotiate. But most importantly these gorges can be difficult to access and are often enclosed by vertical cliff sides. Kloofing is not caving.
Kloofing/canyoning is not about fear, no ... seriously, it’s more about ADVENTURE and experiencing the unknown whilst testing yourself by going backwards off a 150-foot waterfall drop-in or straddling a rush of whitewater down a mossy embankment before leaping into pools fed by waterfalls most cannot even imagine.
The prices for the 2026/2027 kloofing season at Suicide Gorge and Riviersonderend are up on the Pebble Sky Adventures website. Due to yet another permit price increase (R450 to R510 per person) from Cape Nature, which are now driving the prices for these venues through the roof, add the rising living costs and fuel prices, I have decided to the leave the kloofing prices unchanged from last season for these two venues for the start of the season.

Here's a duzi from Cape Nature - the new permit prices for the 2026/2027 kloofing season at Riviersonderend and Suicide Gorge will be R510 per person. I will release Pebble Sky's prices for the upcoming season for those two routes by this coming Sunday. Thanks. For more info contact Francois at adventure@pebblesky.co.za
We are month away from spring ... and the beginning of kloofing season 2026/27. Pebble Sky Adventures will start releasing the prices for Suicide Gorge and Riviersonderend from September 2026 as soon as have all the permit information ... the same with the multi-day kloofing trips. Let's go
It's almost winter solstice and then its downhill into spring and summer which means kloofing time...hehe.
Unfortunately due to early arrival of all the cold and wet weather, our kloofing season at Suicide Gorge and Riviersonderend have come to a premature end this year ... the routes will close on 30 April and re-open on the 1st of November 2026 but with all the rain and cold around, I doubt there will be any more kloofing trips there this week. I just want to say many thanks to all support, from my old, returning clients to the local Saffas and the international travellers. We had a blast in the heat this season. See you guys next season for Suicide Gorge and Riviersonderend. Pebble Sky will run a few multi-day kloofing trips during the off season before we kick start Spring with multi-day trips on private land at Haarwegskloof.
