ABOUT


Get ready for one of the most unique night experiences in Durban!


We’re taking you on a magical after-dark journey through the historic Whaling Station and Point area.


As the city lights glow and the ocean air cools, we step back in time and uncover Durban’s maritime secrets… from the iconic gun towers to the old railway tracks and the legendary slipway. Add in shimmering tidal pools, rugged coastline views, and the quiet mystery of the night — and you’ve got an adventure you’ll never forget.


Our night hike kicks off at uShaka Marine World, where we follow the waterfront canal and cross the harbour mouth in one of the most unique ways possible. The coastline comes alive at night — calm, beautiful, and full of hidden stories.


This is history, beauty, and pure Durban magic… all in one unforgettable experience.
