One of the most beautifull walks we've ever made, highly recommended! As said before: you need a pair of walking shoes, a bottle of water and your camera. The walks are not incredibly difficult, and there are many viewpoints where you can take a rest. You don't need a map, it is all very well indicated. We didn't see any... More

The are 3 walks. We absolved the middle long walk about 2 hours. The effort was it worth. We saw (and smelled) the sels colony, a nice and lonely beach and made some beautifil photos. Don't forget bring enough water with you.

Amazing views and wonderful walks where one can be sure to see seals frolicking in the waves. Bird life is also prolific and also the flora on the island.

I LOVE Robberg Nature Reserve! It is so beautiful and basically un-touched. The hike around the mountain is very worth while - I have done it 3 times. There is also a Geo-cache there for those that know what it is...

A stunning reserve just south of Plettenberg Bay, near the airport. We did the medium walk with two teenagers, and it was an easy 2 hour walk, with a stop for a picnic lunch. Bring decent shoes as there is a bit of climbing up and down, but nothing too strenuous. The views are spectacular wherever you turn. It was... More

you walk while the ocean splashes next to you. while you rest, you are surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and birds. We are very glad we visited this nature reserve. Be prepared to go uphill and downhill. Good walking shoes and a panoramic camera are a must have for this walk.

We did the spectacular long walk right round the nature reserve. It was very challenging and, in places, downright dangerous. There are steep, sheer drops and a bit of mountain climbing just to get the adrenaline going! As you enter the reserve you are asked to provide your mobile number and sign a release form waiving any responsibility for injury.... More

We took the big tour around Robberg and it was just great. This was one of the highlights of the whole Garden Route - it is a MUST. So people if you are there - hike around and have fun. If you want to top the beauty of nature, stay in the "Coral Tree Cottages" (including Adventure Land) between Knysna... More
