Here you can take a boat trip and spot wildlife along the river banks, or river raft, canoe, windsurf and water ski.

For those who prefer dry ground, the Port Shepstone Country Club is one of the best South Coast golf courses, and known as a gem on the golfing circuit for its warm and sunny year-round climate. The Port Shepstone Country Club offers an eighteen hole golf course with a wide variety of golfing challenges, after which you can share your experiences with the local golfers at the 19th hole and clubhouse. Port Shepstone Golf Club is genuinely one of the friendliest clubs on the entire KZN South Coast, with a mellow atmosphere created through 'after golf weekend music', and splendid well-priced weekend braai dinners.
