Boston the hub of paragliding and gateway to the Southern Drakensberg
Boston is a small town situated in the Mkhomazi Valley and is a gateway
to the Southern Drakensberg. Boston is especially renowned for the spectacular
paragliding avaialable. Boston has joined Bulwer and promotes tourism through

an hour’s drive
from Durban in the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains. The Boston Bulwer
Beat links Boston, Bulwer and parts of the Dargle Valley. The main attractions
include hiking, walking, fishing, rafting, birding and para and hangliding.
Boston is warm and welcoming, and bed and breakfast hosts open
their doors with welcoming smiles.
