Canopy Tour
The Magaliesberg Canopy Tour is a unique eco-adventure on which you can experience the spectacular Ysterhout Kloof. Experience Glide above the rugged kloof along eleven platforms constructed high against the rocky cliffs lining the kloof. Each of these are joined by cable slides of up to 140m in length, in some places up to 30m above the stream below.
It starts with a briefing session at Magaliesberg Canopy Tour offices, where you will be kitted out with your harness, safety helmet and sliding glove. Please note parties are restricted to a maximum of eight people, with two trained canopy guides to assure your safety. Tours depart from Sparkling Waters Hotel and Spa.
Kloofing
A breathtaking adventure awaits you within the emerald gorges of the dramatic Magaliesberg Mountains.
Tramp onto a sunny hike over quartzite terrain to your access point to the Kloof. From here you navigate the stream through crystal pools and over massive boulders, with soaring cliffs looming all round. Keep up the pace along the ascent, and then get ready for the adrenalin to kick in as you abseil down waterfalls, cliff-jump into pools and slide down stone chutes within this craggy gorge.
It's advisable to be fit, confident and able to swim to tackle this full-day adventure. Confirm your meeting point when making your reservation.
