Paddling near KwaDukuza, KwaZulu-Natal
KwaDukuza sits on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, a subtropical stretch of coastline backed by rivers that drain toward the warm Indian Ocean. The region is well regarded among paddlers for its mix of river, estuary, and dam paddling, with the Thukela — one of KwaZulu-Natal's great rivers — lying close by, alongside calmer options at Hazelmere and Dudley Pringle for flatwater kayaking, canoeing, and SUP.
