Description

There’s no better adventure activity than zipping between elevated platforms high up in a beautiful forest. So, come along with us on a trip to remember in the Karkloof Forest Reserve.

Located in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, this forest is full of beautiful plant life that is native to the region. The Karkloof Canopy Tour, where we’ll be, is made up of 12 platforms and 10 zip-line slides. The longest slide is an epic 200 meters!

Your trip will last around two hours and it’ll start with getting you fitted with all the equipment you need. We’ll also do a thorough safety briefing. We make this a priority.

From there we’ll head to the canopy. Our guides are super knowledgable, so you’ll be able to learn a lot about the ecology of the area. One of the awesome things about this forest is the birdlife. Your guide will point out all the different kinds of birds to you as you go along.

When we’re done on the zip line, we’ll head back to our base and enjoy lunch together.

This trip gives you the perfect dose of adrenaline. Plus, it’s suitable for people aged 6 to 90, making it the perfect family activity. Book now and we’ll be waiting for you in the forest!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
