    Our first experience paragliding was awesome thanks to Wild2Fly. Johan made us feel super safe and confident throughout the process! It was a wonderful time and we are happy we did it!

    An hour's kayak trip to the waterfall and down the river towards the sea and back was really relaxing. The waterfall is definitely worth the trip and inaccessible without a boat. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    We did the canoe and walk to the waterfall. It was really lovely. Peaceful and scenic river, easy walk mostly on boardwalks to the waterfall. We swam right up to the waterfall and there are other places to have a refreshing dip. It was well managed with friendly helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend.

    There are no more Kaaiman (a species of monitor lizards) in the river. So it is safe to swim, where possible or kayak, particularly at a point where the river becomes wider and its mouth finds the ocean. The Kaaiman river is one of many that is meandering through the Cape Fold Mountains south of South Africa's central plateau. Some of the gorges it formed are of spectacular beauty. In the past a formidable obstacle for both indigenous people as well as the European settlers. The latter eventually managed to build stable bridges. The railway bridge (now defunct) near George is one them, meanwhile a historic attraction.

    Good hiking options northwest of Wilderness.

    What a awesome experience drifting in the freedom of the ocean shore. There is no words to describe the feeling hanging there touching nothing but air, not to mention the never before sight of view from up there!! And they are by far the best hosts in wilderness #mistypeakcottage #airferafricaparagliding

    I recently sold three of my surfboards through Martyn the owner of Surfends Surf shop a ND surf school in Vic Bay, George Southern Cape SA. It took him less than a week to sell all three and he immediately deposited the proceeds into my bank account. Excellent service indeed. I can highly recommend his business to all local SA surfers and abroad, also to upcoming new surfers to he first class surf lessons

    John and Colin drove us on private tours of the Garden Route during our stay in South Africa in November ‘24. Wilderness is lovely and it’s a great base from which to explore The Garden Route. They were recommended to us by Carmina at Pearl Moon Boutique Suites, Wilderness (also highly recommended) and they didn’t disappoint. They both are safe and courteous drivers and the vehicles we had were comfortable and of a high quality. From the moment we contacted them, they helped us to plan our route and they were highly flexible to our needs as we adjusted our priorities along the way. They shared with us a deep knowledge of the area and it was clearly important to them that they provided a first rate service. Great value for money too - highly recommended!

    Ryan is straight up the best surfing teacher on the planet! After spending 3 weeks in wilderness, with 12 lessons in total, Ryan helped me feel not just confident, but excited to get in the water. By the end of our trip we were cruising. I would highly recommend booking lessons with Ryan, whether you are a complete newbie, or self taught looking for some guidance.
