Hop on the river cruise boat “The Sundays River Ferry” and experience a slow and leisurely 2.5 hour cruise on the magnificent and breathtaking waters of the Sundays River estuary – one of the top-rated estuaries in South Africa. Search the unique river banks, bush and reed beds for a wide variety of bird life and smaller animals like the Duiker, Bushbuck or stately Kudu. The river is a bird watcher’s paradise. Catch a glimpse of the rarely seen White-fronted Bee-eater as it soaks up the sun in sheltered areas of the river or perhaps darting from its perch in pursuit of insects on the wing. You may even view the rarely seen African Finfoot swimming in and out of reed beds and man-made structures along the river banks. View the elusive Water Monitor or Likkewaan that can reach lengths of up to 1.5 metres. Share in the excitement while cruising and witness various species of surface-swimming mullet fish dart in all different directions or even jump clear of the water’s surface in an effort to escape the approaching boat.
Experience this unique river cruise along the Sundays River while taking in the wonderful scenery and beautiful houses and holiday cottages of Cannonville and Colchester hugging its banks.
The cruise will continue to the river mouth towards the coast to view the majestic, wind-driven Alexandria coastal dunes. See some of the tallest dunes at an altitude of 50 metres that dramatically plunge and disappear into the river. These dunes are one of the largest coastal dune systems in the world with the entire dunefield covering an area of approximately 238km². Once there, the boat will stop at the base of the dunes so that passengers can leave the boat and climb up the dunes, take wonderful pictures or even have a swim. Climb to the top of the dunes to take in the stunning views of the waters and islands of Algoa Bay, the southern section of the Addo Elephant National Park, as well as the splendour of the dunefields. The distant St Croix Island in the bay boasts the largest African Penguin colony.
