DAILY CRUISES
We operate three vessels and each one has its own charm and personality that caters for different needs. Danny Buoy is our most famous and can be seen singing and dancing its way across the waves. Toro Ya Me our family cruiser is a little more subdued but just as much fun. The newest member to our family, The Alba, takes cruising on Harties to another level.
We now offer you our Zanzibar Beach Café and Shishanyama Lounge, to chill before and after your 2-hour cruise with lekker music that often goes on till late.
A visit to the Adventure Capital of the North West will definitely be a memorable one and our cruises are the perfect way to experience Hartbeespoort without any traffic!
