Garden Route National Park
The Garden Route National Park covers approximately 68 kilometers of coastline. It’s a mountainous area with panoramic views and soaring cliffs.
This makes the Garden Route National Park an ideal destination for beautiful hikes and mountain bike tours. The multi-day Otter Trail is one of the most famous hikes, but the park also offers several one-day trails for all levels.
The Garden Route National Park is beautiful not only on land but also in the water. Snorkeling and diving are excellent here. Kayaking trips are organized at Storms River Mouth.
Staying overnight at Storms River Mouth is highly recommended. The rest camp’s cabins are situated on a narrow strip of land between the mountains and the sea, offering views of the turbulent sea.
The main areas of the Garden Route National Park:
- Tsitsikamma
- Knysna Lakes
- Wilderness
- Nature’s Valley
Harkerville:
A relatively unknown and rarely visited part of the Garden Route National Park is the area around Kranshoek and Harkerville. If you’re looking for a truly special and adventurous hike along the coast, you should definitely visit this area.
