The dam is home to almost as many different watersports as you can think of, and is an extremely popular venue.

1. Magaliesberg Canopy Tour
Experience the thrill of zip-lining through the treetops of the Magaliesberg mountains. This canopy tour takes you on a series of slides between platforms built high within the forest canopy, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery and a unique perspective on the area's flora and fauna.
2. Maropeng and the Cradle of Humankind
Visit the Maropeng Visitor Centre, the official visitor center for the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.

The interactive exhibits and guided tours provide a fascinating insight into human evolution.
3. Hot Air Ballooning
Take a hot air balloon ride over the Magaliesberg range and the Cradle of Humankind. The early morning flights offer a serene and majestic view of the landscape, often followed by a champagne breakfast upon landing. This is a perfect activity for those looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a peaceful adventure.
4. Bill Harrop's Original Balloon Safaris
Another option for hot air ballooning, Bill Harrop’s Original Balloon Safaris provides a highly professional and memorable experience. Soaring high above the countryside, you’ll get panoramic views of the Magaliesberg mountains, farmlands, and rivers, making for an unforgettable start to your day.
5. Mountain Sanctuary Park
