Enter: Gecko Tubing with Four Rivers Adventures – a splash of fun for all adventurers who like a bit of river magic without the need to paddle hard.
What is Gecko Tubing?
Gecko Tubing is the Drakensberg’s take on river tubing – done using a custom-designed, inflatable “gecko” tube that lets you ride the gentle rapids and calm pools of the uThukela River. It’s safe, scenic, and just wild enough to make your heart race while keeping the vibe light and fun.
Whether you’re floating through mountain views or bouncing down playful drops, it’s the kind of experience that puts a grin on your face from start to finish.
What to Expect
The Perfect Blend of Chill and Thrill
You’ll journey through a beautiful stretch of river featuring a mix of smooth glides, rocky turns, and small rapids. It’s like a nature spa with a sense of humor.
Fully Guided
Each trip is led by experienced river guides who know the best spots, keep you safe, and make sure you get the most out of your ride. Expect laughs, splashes, and a few tips to steer your tube like a pro.
Scenery You’ll Want to Remember
Between the riverbanks and mountain backdrops, the tubing route winds through postcard-worthy landscapes. Soak it all in – just try not to drop your phone if you’re snapping pics!
