Vacation rentals in Durban

Adventure conservation Tourism: canoe and hike Your journey starts with a paddle across the dam. On a stable indian kayak, with a paddle in hand and a life jacket donned, an experienced paddler will guide you across the dam where you can view the reserve from a different perspective. Wildlife is often seen from this vantage point and our resident fish eagle are always seen sitting on their favourite branch. Giraffe sightings are another highlight. Disembarking from the kayak and completing a wild walk completes this experience. Being on foot and walking in the reserve is especially exciting. The duration of the experience varies between 2 to 4 hours depending on where the wildlife is and on the level of fitness of the group. Other things to note During summer (Dec-Feb) is hot and humid with thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Winter months are warm and pleasant.

When was the last time you tried something for the first time? All you need to do is arrive with swimwear, a towel and be prepared not to take yourself seriously. Get ready for lots of laughter! No experience or fitness or equipment is needed. We have lockers for all your bags. We have rash vests and wetsuits for you. We have a maximum of 3 people per coach. We like this to be a comfortable experience to maximise the fun and wave riding. If your group is larger than 3 people, more of my vibrant professional surf coaches join. The first 10-15 minutes will be spent on the beach learning about the ocean, how to stay safe in the surf and the manoeuvre known as the ‘pop-up’ which is how you stand. You’ll feel relaxed and orientated to the surf before you even get wet. Then we head out into the surf. We paddle out and your coach will be there with you. Your coach times the wave for you so that we push you onto the wave and tell you when to stand. You’re guaranteed to ride a wave in this session. We help you with your technique and by the end you’ll be feeling the ‘stoke’; the magical indescribable feeling only a surfer knows! Other things to note There are no 'stupid' questions - please ask anything. We surf when it rains - because you get wet anyway! Sometimes the best surf is on grey days. Message me if you want a different time slot.

This experience is 2.5 - 3 hours long (NOT 60 mins) For fast reply, whatsapp +27835288982 Our hiking trail is in the woods/jungle so the temperature tends to be cool even on the hottest of days. So let go of this notion that hikes are only done in the mornings, but we can totally do that as well since I host morning sessions & midday as well. It's always nice to hike in packs. Expect playful vibe that might ignite some thought provoking conversation, moments where you might be baptised with the showers of the falls from the different trails and just some playful candidness. If you're a rigid personality, this may not be for you. Sometimes the hike is also an interview to learn different cultures, best practices and to build content for my up and coming YouTube Channel. But people who love people, love nature and just have a solid appreciation for life in general will be rejuvenated by this hiking session.

Travel to a world of wonder from the comfort of your living room. This family-friendly online experience will bring story-time to life! Using stories and a fun craft project, I will welcome you to my imaginative underwater world. A wonderful interactive experience, where you will be captivated by a unique storybook. The story-time is full of facts, silly laughs, and interesting tales. Allowing guests to listen along with me, and share their questions or interests. Our story involves various sea creatures and how they overcome fears and make new friends. After our tale ends, join me in upcycling some common house-hold materials, and transforming them into one of our fishy story friends. Help bring the story to life, and allow yourself to be immersed in the wonderful world of our oceans. This experience is ideal for ages 3-13years. For those who love special stories, and enjoy making crafts. Ideal option for your virtual birthday party entertainment. Let me bring a unique element to your child's birthday party, especially when lockdown doesn't allow you to celebrate with friends and family. Great for a 'family inspired' teambuilding. Bring your colleagues together by inviting their families to join this undersea group experience. If you don't see a time or date that is ideal for you, please contact me for a new date. I will do my best to accommodate you. Scuba Michelle

When was the last time you tried something for the first time? Get ready for an unforgettable experience. You don’t need ‘good balance’ or ‘great fitness’ - this is a sport for everyone. We have wide stable boards that do the balancing for you. All you need is to be able to breathe and relax so you become one with the movement. Myself and Coach Charlotte will meet you at our SUP beach. We have space for you to store your belongings. This beach is a very calm and safe beach without waves to get out. The first 10-15 minutes will be spent on the beach learning about the ocean, about how to stay safe in the ocean and the stand up paddling technique. You’ll feel relaxed and orientated to the ocean before you even get your feet wet. We paddle out on our knees, orientating your body to the movement and the SUP. Once you’re comfortable we stand and experience the ocean from a unique vista – standing on water. We paddle together for an hour and explore the beautiful view of the Durban coast - it’s magical being out there and taking it all in. We often see dolphins, rays, turtles and a vast variety of fish. Other things to note We have wide stable boards that do the balancing for you! You can sit or kneel and paddle. Standing is not essential for an amazing experience. We have storage for bags and showers and changing rooms.
