    On the rugged South Cape coastline

  • An Iconic Hiking Experience
Guided walking tours along the beaches, dunes, cliffs and fynbos on the rugged South Cape coastline near Mossel Bay on the Garden Route.

One of the first to introduce the Slackpacking concept - a World-renowned trail, described as one of the top 50 hikes worldwide by the likes of the BBC and Getaway, also featured in major media brands and productions.

The World-Renowned Oystercatcher Trail: It’s a love affair with nature.

Hike the largely undeveloped South Cape(Garden Route) coastline between Mossel Bay and Gourikwa Private Nature Reserve, crossing the spectacular Gouritz River along the way.

The Mossel Bay area features the Big 5 of the ocean being a World-class biodiversity hotspot. During the mild cooler  months, Whales come in to give birth in the quiet protected bays. Dazzling us with their displays of breaching and lob-tailing. 

The combination of bird and marine life as well as a great variety of Fynbos species, makes it a nature enthusiast paradise!

Leave your luggage at your accommodation, so you only need carry a small day-pack on your walk. Making hiking a real slackpacking pleasure.

Overnight accommodation in well appointed coastal establishments, which are confirmed according to group size and hiking duration are included in our full board trails or a self-catering option is available on request

  • Great coastal hike

    We are a group of 12 ladies who do a yearly hike over woman’s day in August and the Oystercatcher trail did not disappoint this year. Mia, Willem and our guide Georgia went out of their way for us; meeting us with champagne on the boat at Gouritzriver, adjusting the complete 4 day hike into 3 days and arranging a lovely warm lunch on day 2. Such attention to... Read this review
