Blue Lagoon - Umgeni River

The Umgeni river from Blue Lagoon upstream is probably the longest flat water paddle you can do in Durban. You can paddle up river for over 10km when the tide is in. The quality of the water can vary depending on the tide, so can the water flow. Great birdlife viewing with common sitings of Kingfisher and Fish Eagle. Safer Parking on a Thursday when the Canoe Dice is on - 5:30pm Start. That's when there is a Car Guard there. SUPs are welcome to join in. We normally do half the distance they do.
