Best of · DURBAN GONDOLA RIDES
The point canals and the harbour front are flat, sheltered and cheap to be rowed along. These 4 are the rides worth the fare, with prices and how long each one lasts.
Take a 30-minute private gondola ride from Zulumoon Gondolas near uShaka Marine World. An English or Zulu-speaking guide takes you along Durban’s Point Waterfront Canal by day or night, passing bridges and taking photos. Guides such as Talent, Bongani, and Rodney are praised for friendly service.
“The experience was perfect, tour guide was exceptionally friendly, will definately do it again”
Ride a private African-style gondola through Durban Point Waterfront at night. A professional operator guides your group for about 30 minutes beneath lit bridges and past modern waterfront buildings. The ride returns to Zulumoon Gondolas, with shopping and restaurants nearby.
“It was amazing. I was taking my friend out and she had a good time. The driver was great and the service over was great. Florence also deserves 5 stars”
Ride a quiet African gondola through Durban’s Point Waterfront Canal with your own group. The 30-minute trip passes bridges, apartment buildings, shops, and still water where you might spot fish. Drivers such as Sphe add a friendly touch, and the ride returns to Zulumoon Gondolas.
“Having to relax in water surrounded by beautiful buildings while with your love . Such an amazing experience . The driver was so kind”
Spend 40 minutes on Durban’s Point Waterfront Canal in a private African gondola for up to two people. Your gondolier handles the route while you enjoy cheese, juice, biscuits, and chocolates from a wicker basket made by the local Society for the Blind. The ride returns to its starting point.
“The experience was good and we were a bit late for our ride but they still fit us in. However, I had booked for the picnic Gondola Ride but there was no picnic snacks like advertised.”
By the kind of ride, not the postcard.
