Itinerary
This will be our first of many stops. We will quickly take a photo or two and continue on our way to the next attraction
Here we will view the deep cylindrical cavities formed by thousands of years of water erosion at the confluence of the Blyde and Treur Rivers. Coffee/tea and a light snack will be served. Guests are welcome to enjoy the various view points at their own leisure. Do not miss the wishing well!
This will be a quick preview what you are about to see at God's window, but with it's own beauty not to be missed.
This is such a good description of what you are about to see. If you are fit enough, don't miss out on the rain forest walk.
Next will be the iconic Graskop gorge with it's glass lift and adrenalin activities such as bridge swing or zipline. Please note: these activities are excluded and therefore for your own pocket. Entrance to the area is however covered.
Let's redirect our attention away from the mountains and delve into the journey of the water captured by these majestic peaks. Our next destination awaits at the Berlin Falls, inviting you to witness the breathtaking cascade of water, unveiling the natural beauty of this mesmerizing spectacle.
Our last stop, and my favourite, is the Blyde river canyon view point. Make sure to visit all the little view points but be careful because only some of them are fitted with railings.

We really enjoyed our tour in the Drakensberg Mountains, but it was a very cloudy and misty day, so unfortunately we didn’t get to see some of the best views. God’s Window was so foggy. It was 100% white and we couldn’t see anything. However, our guide was great and he did his best to navigate and rearrange the trip around the weather. We made the most of the time we had in disagreeable conditions. The Bourke’s Potholes were fascinating and the Berlin and Lisbon waterfalls were breathtaking. We also enjoyed our time in Graskop. We took the lift down to the forest and enjoyed walking through the trees. We would definitely do this tour again, but hopefully with better weather. We booked this tour well in advance, but if you have the benefit of seeing the weather forecast ahead of time try to pick a sunny, cloudless day.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that despite the challenging weather conditions, you still enjoyed your tour. It's such a pity that you had to leave the next day, and unfortunately, we couldn't even reschedule. As you said: "Now you are forced to come again!" All the best for the future and hope our paths will cross again.
Stunning views and interesting facts about the area. A real view, fauna and flora treat! Gods window, the pinnacle and graskop big swing, zip wires and rain forest reserve
The weather was not that great, but nature did not disappoint. Maybe the Big Swing next time! Thanks for taking the time to give us such a great review. Hope to see you back soon!
Amazing tour with beautiful sights and a kind, knowledgeable guide. I went with two other girls and we were made to feel immediately welcome and relaxed by Jakes. So many stops with breathtaking views, we always had enough time to take everything in, nothing was ever rushed. We were given lots of refreshments like teas, coffees and biscuits, which we had at a lovely picnic spot, as well as a box of snacks and goodies to eat in the van along our journey - very thoughtful. An unexpected highlight in addition to the stunning views was the opportunity to zipline and bungee jump above a beautiful forest nestled into a spectacularly huge gorge - what a way to appreciate the landscape! Jakes was kind enough to wait for us and take videos and photos of the events! It was really nice to hear about the history and science throughout the day too. Honestly couldn't recommend this tour enough. Don't hesitate, just book it! Amazing way to spend time in the area, thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much for the amazing experience Jakes!

Thanks for taking the time to write the review, Nicholas. We had a great day and the weather also played in our favour. Hope to see you soon again!
What a fantastic day in the mountains we had with Jakes from All or Nothing Adventures. Jakes is a super guide. Highly recommendable. A “must-do” tour in between or as a supplement to the Safari game drives. My favorite spot was God,s window. Really a spetacular view from the top aften a small walk through the “rain-forest”.
Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to write a review. Your group has been a lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities we have done together. Hope to see you again in future
Jakes was a very nice guide during this excursion at the Blyde River Canyon. My mother, our French friends and myself found him very caring and were satisfied with his explanations even though we spoke very little English... Thanks Jakes!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, hand signals and lots of laughter was on the menu for the day and although we did not understand everything, we all had a wonderful time together. Until we meet again...
The glass lift and forest, Bourkes Luck potholes, Pinnacle Rock. Jakes was also an excellent guide. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed your trip. Such a pleasure sharing these mountains with someone who really enjoys their geology. Until next time...
