We have something amazing at Zulumoon Gondolas – the perfect way to celebrate Mothers Day in Durban. From a simple relaxing gondola boat ride to all the bells and whistles – there is something unqiue you can do to spoil your mom on Mothers day right here in Durban.

Here you get to send us your special personal message for your mom who will discover this in a floating bottle during her ride. How different and memorable. She will get to take the bottle and message back home as a wonderful memory of your time together.
