KLOOFING/CANYONING

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.

WHAT TO PACK:

Hiking shoes (approach shoes), then any old shoes(no hiking boots) with soft soles for better grip when in gorge, shorts, swimsuit, sunscreen, a waterproofed camera, cellphone or GoPro. Email us for a detailed pack list for your chosen package! Pebble Sky supplies all safety gear for your adventure.

TIPS:

Adventure is not about style, it is about nature and your inner smile.

Minimize risks by listening to safety instructions! SAFETY FIRST

Conquer your fear through fun.

KLOOFING COMMENTARY:

“Yikes – a first for me, but definitely not the last! Thanks for an amazing, exhilarating, thrilling adventure!”

[Tania Missing]


“We have done a little kloofing in the past but this location and experience topped them all – thanks to you and your team for a great time!”

[Devin, Keith and Mario]

DID YOU KNOW:

Strictly speaking, ‘kloofing’ is an Afrikaans word, derived from ‘kloof’ meaning ‘cliff’. It has been adopted by English-speaking people (mostly in southern Africa), to mean the sort of hiking described above.

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.
