Two days, 26 km of river and a night in a riverside cabin.
The Sundays River Canoe Trail (Nukakamma) is a two-day flat-water trail about 40 km from Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), and the only Green Flag status canoe trail in South Africa.

Longer route options of 33 km or over 47 km are available. Depending on tide and wind, each leg takes about 3 to 5 hours. We move your luggage and our bedding to the cabin, which has bunk beds, a covered braai area and picnic tables.
Duration: overnight (2 days).

Sundays River Adventures
As founder if GEO COMPASS ADVENTURE CLUB this was truly an awesome experience. I have alot of new members in my group, including my kids, that has never canoed before, so this was a great introduction to future visitations. The guide that briefed us was very professional and answered all the questions from my team. Everyone understood what they had to do to stay afloat. Definitely something I would do again before the end of this year. If there is something that you can improve though, it's the dock at the Hudson Cabin that was very overgrown with reeds and it was quite a challenge for my team to minouvour in there with a pile up of canoes. Getting out was challenging too. Other then that 5 stars, excellent service. Nukukama Rock on... - Terrance

Whilst I did not participate in the canoe trip I can say that I was very impressed for your professional service You are without doubt vey well organised and supportive in all respects to all those who were involved. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I will recommend you to anyone who enquires about participating in your great adventure I suggest that you send a similar request for a review to Laurence Weitz who was the groups Leader. I know from their feedback that they all had a fantastic time His email address is laurence.weitz@gmail.com - Keith
We were very excited to do this canoe trail. Unfortunately the day was a little bit windy and while it was fine on land, the wind was far more severe on the water. We did not know this or expect it. It would have been useful if we had been warned on the morning that the wind would be problematic and what should be done if the paddlers were blown backwards and could make no progress. In addition I would have liked to know what safety or support measures were in place. As it was 4 groups of paddlers set off and all but one boat capsized or was just swamped by small waves. This happened a few times meaning there was no progress. Luckily the paddlers were picked up by a motorboat and ultimately taken to the cabin. We appreciated that the group still got the night in the cabin and that was a lovely experience. However it would have been better if the canoes could have been taken there too so at least they could canoe back the next morning and still get the canoeing experience. As it was there was very little canoeing and some concerns about safety and support. - Eileen
