What travellers are saying
- Jacqueline B9 contributionsWe did the hike to the waterfall - half-collared kingfisher trail - which was amazing. Stunning scenery. Decent half-day walk. Maintained. You have to pay at the entrance. The camp accommodation looked really chill set by the river but we didn’t stay there.Written 14 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah CAshtead, UK1 323 contributionsThis is an amazing beach, and from our lodgings we could walk both ways for a long time. We know the sea is not really safe to swim but the views and dramatic scenery, crashing waves etc are all brilliant, and the long walks gave us decent work outs!Written 3 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mmaphuti M36 contributionsRichard was a great guide on the E bike tour. Kept us engaged with the history of the Wilderness, and I wouldn't have asked for a better guide. His dad jokes also grew on me, lol. The scenic ride was enjoyed thoroughly. Richard truly enjoys what he does, and his passion emanates. Very polite young man.Written 7 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- sarahcampsbayCape Town Central, South Africa21 contributionsFrom pristine waterfalls to coastal waves and beach walks, all within easy access of the N2 from Wilderness to Brenton on Sea, our erudite and generous guide Mark, lead us on a memorable slack pack trail over 5 days. His knowledge of birds, plants, trees and geology is formidable, and he made each day so interesting. Our accommodation was rustic and very comfortable, with adequate lunch packs handed out daily, and delicious evening meals conjured up by Mark. We so appreciated the intermittent support from his lovely mother Judy. If you love coastal hikes, this is one to add to your travel plans !Written 24 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- illa440Bredasdorp, South Africa22 contributionsThe beaches were clean and quiet, the restaurants were delightful.
We had more than enough to keep ourselves busy - sightseeing, hiking, cycling, train trip up the mountain. Many other possibilities.
We go there twice a year for a week - never bored.
I must add that we always visit out of season as we love the quieter times.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Amanda was a brilliant guide - both on the scenery and trail as well as giving useful tips to our younger riders. The trail is beautiful and the horses are handsome and loved. Our group had multiple levels of riding ability - including our son who had only been on a horse once before but Amanda was adept at providing a great experience for everyone - including allowing the more confident and experienced opportunities for some lovely catering stretches.Written 22 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephen WNottingham, UK296 contributionsZAR195 is about £8.50. Hardly the rip-off described by others. And what is wrong with SA citizens paying less than overseas visitors? The average per capita income in SA is US$13k, the UK is US$48k and - for example - in Austria it is US$52k. Strangely that last figure is almost four-times the SA per capita.
I do believe the fee is access to the whole national park for the day. I pay £11 in the UK for 3 hours in Sherwood Forest!
Anyway, this is a well maintained and pleasant walk through a forest and along a river. Just over 5 miles return to the waterfall (2.5 miles each way). About 2 hours of walking. You ascend/descend 325 feet in total, with most of that in the final 1/3rd approaching the waterfall.
The terrain is fine all the way, with boardwalks and steps making it pleasant when necessary. We took the pontoon route, and it was good fun to haul on the rope to cross to the far bank and continue.Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jan SCotswolds, UK145 contributionsWew came here following having seem these paintings at Dune Beach House and were blown away by the vibrancy and colour. The lady serving us could not have been more patient and we spent 45 minutes or so choosing eventually 3 pictures which she rolled into a tube to come back to the UK with us.Written 31 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
