Activities

In and around Graskop there are a lot of interesting activities you can discover. Such as:

The Big Swing:
Experience the adrenaline of a 68 metre freefall in less than 3 seconds on one of the world's highest cable gorge swings or fly across the gorge on a 131 m high wire “foefie slide”, 80 m above ground zero and witness the breathtaking Graskop falls as never seen before.

Quad Bike Trips:
The Mac Mac Quad Trails is an exciting new adventure for quad bike riders that cover some “off the beaten” trails in the picturesque Mpumalanga Escarpment area. Most of these “off the beaten” trails are off limits to the general public.

Canoe-Trips:
Yet another exciting and awesome way to experience the "off the beaten track" beauty of the Mpumalanga Escarpment. Follow the upper Blyde River on a canoe. The start is close to the catchments area of the Blyde River and enjoys spectacular scenery. This is not a white water rafting ride; it is a relaxing canoeing trip through beautiful areas on the Blyde River. The trip is suitable for families.
