Whatever your idea of fun, set your soul soaring at the Wild Coast Sun's Waterworld. We are open 09:00 to 17:00 every day!

The Spellbound Gambler II
double-deck river boat will take you on a river cruise which is perfect for
those who want something less energetic after a hard day in the sun.

Up to a 100 people can be hosted on board. It carries a full bar, and in season the aroma of sizzling boerewors wafts over the water as the crew cook up some tempting snacks.
Apart from its regular scenic trips, the cruiser can also be hired for private parties, with seafood braais under the stars.

RIVER CRUISES: min 20 passengers
"Scenic" 1 hour, "Sundowner":1 hour, "Tea-Scones": 1 hour
"Booze": 1:30 minutes, "Braai 'N Booze": 2 hours

 The word Umtamvuna means “reaper of mouthfuls” because of the damage its flood water can cause to crops. And it is said that any people failing to confess their sins before fording the river, will be carried away by the water spirits.
So it is just as well to remain on board, relax and watch the scenery glide by.

At the mouth of the Umtamvuna River, there is the excitement of water-skiing, and speed boat rides plus we have the following crafts available for hire: family boats, wake snakes, jet skis, aqua-scooters, motor boats, canoes, paddle boats and tube rides for the kids. The river is wide and unpolluted and winding between high cliffs clothed in indigenous forest.

Expert instructors are available and Water World has a comfortable club house close to the river banks, with superb views from its shady terrace, a snack bar, cloak rooms and a water sports accessories shop.

Above, the Cape vultures wheel gracefully on warm air thermals, as the river flows past fish eagle nests and deserted sandy shoals where plovers and wagtails patrol the water’s edge, and onto the lagoon–protected mouth with its rare mangrove swamps.
