Situated in the St Francis Bay area, which is a holiday town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, you will find St Francis Bay Adventures. Known as South Africa's little Venice, the beautiful St Francis Bay Canals and Kromme River are a sight to behold. The best way you will find to take in these magnificent surroundings is by a relaxing boat cruise, and that is where St Francis Bay Adventures comes in.
The canal system of St Francis Bay, which was built in 1967 and was the first to be built in South Africa, has become a leading South African tourist destination and it is pretty obvious why. Who wouldn't enjoy an activity where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the tranquil canal waters of St Francis Bay? Picture the scene as your professional skipper escorts you through the waterways, offering you wonderful views of the architecture, wildlife and as evening draws in, the spectacular sunsets. It's pure bliss!
Your journey with St Francis Bay Adventures
You will depart from Small Boat Harbour, La Digue place, St Francis Bay and embark on the waterways of the St Francis Bay Canals aboard a pontoon-style river barge Topsy or a six-seater speedboat Viking. You will have a professional guide who will share fun stories and interesting facts about the canals, their history and the ecosystem they support. The cruise is suitable and fun for all ages with minors under the age of 12 requiring supervision from a guardian. All guests participating in the cruises are required to sign indemnity forms before departing on the cruise.
The duration of the cruise is between 45 minutes to an hour and guests must arrive at the boat at least 10 minutes before the departure time.
