Guests can also participate in clay-pigeon shooting, archery and quad biking or enjoy a boat cruise down the river.

Both Velddrif town and the nearby fishing village Laaiplek offer a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere as you stroll along the quayside to watch the fishermen preparing their nets for the next catch. The best way to explore the beautiful river and harbour is to take a tour with Tollies Boat and River Cruises. The professional skippers guide visitors along River Berg advising of the region’s history, the local fish and bird species and the salt marshlands.
