The best way to experience the magnificent Sundays River estuary is with Addo Cruises and Sand Sledding aboard the Sundays River Ferry, affectionately known simply as “The Ferry.”
Launched in 2007, this impressive vessel was the first all-aluminium pontoon boat on the Sundays River. At 12 metres long and approximately 4 metres wide, she is a spacious double-decker boat capable of carrying up to 30 passengers in comfort.
There’s plenty to enjoy on board, including comfortable seating on both decks, an onboard toilet and easy access via a retractable gangplank. But the real treat is heading upstairs to the upper viewing deck, where you get wonderful panoramic views across the river, the surrounding bush and the spectacular Colchester Dunes.
Powered by twin 60-horsepower four-stroke engines and equipped with hydraulic steering, The Ferry is purpose-built for leisurely cruises along the Sundays River. She is also surveyed annually by the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA).
For those wanting a little more adventure, cruises can also include a visit to the dunes and the opportunity for sand sledding, making The Ferry much more than just a boat ride!
Whether you're a birdwatcher, photographer, nature lover, family, or simply someone who enjoys being on the water, The Sundays River Ferry offers a wonderful way to discover this special corner of the Eastern Cape.
