Overview

Highlights

  • GO explore South Africa's majestic coastal forest
  • GO take advantage of paradisical swimming holes along the way
  • GO get your luggage transported for you, so you can enjoy quality meals and a lighter pack

Starting on a white-sand beach, South Africa's best coastal forest hike quickly leaves the crashing waves behind and enters a wonderland of mystical forest and mountain vistas. The trail is well-marked and straightforward. There are multiple river crossings, but under most conditions it's possible to cross almost all with dry feet. Along the way, hikers overnight in basic, but comfortable, huts. The huts are stocked with firewood, and slackpacking (luggage transportation) is available. It's even possible to keep items refrigerated.

Combine the Otter Trail with the Coastal Trek for an epic 10-day loop.

For security reasons, we require a minimum of 4 hikers on this trail.
