White Water Tubing / Geckoing
Geckoing is the by far one of the best adventure activities that humans came up with - it rocks!

This is probably the best way to descend a low volume river like the Sabie. A Gecko is a very small raft that you steer with your hands, no paddles needed! It is very easy to steer and very safe, and one of the coolest ways to have fun with family and friends in the sun and water!
Trip duration: 2 1/2 hours
Departure Times: Tubing trips depart twice a day. Morning trip 08:30 and afternoon trips at 13:00.

More info about Geckoing

Geckoing / White Water Tubing takes place in the upper part of the Sabie river where the gradient is quite steep and the river is narrow due to the steep sides of the gorge. Most of the rapids are fun grade 1 rapids where you can drift through with minimal steering needed.  One of the highlights of the trip is an optional 8 meter jump from a cliff into a deep pool next to a thundering waterfall.A degree of fitness is needed as you need to scamper over slippery rocks and walk out of the gorge at the end of the trip.
Each trips is accompanied by well trained swift water guides who ensure the trip is safe and fun.

To ensure a lasting memory we take video or still camera footage on request.

Geckoing can also be incorporated into our Tailormade Teambuilding Packages

  • Everything you wear will get wet as you spend most of the time in the water. Wear a costume with a T-shirt for extra sun protection.
  • Wear strap on sandals or soft sneakers that can get wet - you can go bare feet but the hike out of the gorge is quite tough on bare feet. 
  • You can wear a cap underneath your helmet for extra sun protection.
  • Apply enough water-resistant sunscreen an hour before the trip.  Remember to apply sunscreen on the top of your feet (if you go bare feet) and on your legs. Don't apply sunscreen on your forehead as it will dribble into your eyes when you get wet.
