Iain, Pam and Plett Camino Team, What an inncredible week. From start to finish. Special thanks to our guides, Ricky & Jonathan. Their knowledge, enthusiasm and care added to the journey. Food was excellent, accommodation wonderful. The routes offered diverse terrain maiking every day different and exciting. Everything was so thoughtfully planned. DANKIE!! Susan
Response from the owner:Susan, BAIE DANKIE right back at you! Truth be told, your group's wild sense of humour did half the work for us. The energy you all stirred up carried everyone up those hills. I'll pass your wishes on to Rick and Jonathan. We're thrilled the food and beds were enough to lure you out of them each morning. It was a joy having you on the trail. Come back soon, your boots miss us already. Iain, Pam and the Plett Camino Team

Our group dynamics were spectacular, with so many laughs and so much help along the way. Also, a big shoutout to our wonderful guides, Murray, Archie, and Jessie—we appreciate all your help and wisdom about the bush! Buen Camino—a journey that will sit deep in my heart forever!
Response from the owner:Hi Irma, what a review! Thank you. Congrats on your personal Camino achievement. That's a big one, and we're stoked it happened on our watch ! Laughter and a helping hand on the trail are what the Camino is all about, and it sounds like your crew had plenty of both. I'll pass your shout-out on to Murray, Archie and Jessie ...

I never imagined I would do a Camino, but I am so incredibly glad I did! The Plett Camino was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you to the organizers for a seamless journey—the accommodations were beautiful, the evening meals were delicious, and the camaraderie among new friends was unmatched. Our guides, Tiaan and Tina, were exceptional and truly made the trip special. If you are looking for a rejuvenating breakaway, I cannot recommend this enough. I would do it all over again tomorrow!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Eirene! ❤️ We’re so glad you took the plunge and joined us. It sounds like the Plett Camino magic worked its magic on you 🙂 ... beautiful trails, great food, new friends and of course Tiaan and Tina! 🥾🌿 We’d have you back tomorrow! 😄 Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!
Wonderful camino. Well organised. Food was one for the books. Wine tasting was enjoyable. Spoiled after a day of sweat with ice cold drinks and a swimming pool for the tired muscles. Forest hike was a highlight. We were a great group of ladies having fun. The guides were supporting especially on those long up hills. Very encouraging with a lot of patience! Thanks, it was great. Would definitely recommend this camino.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Christa! ❤️ A few long hills, plenty of laughs, fabulous food, a little wine and an ice-cold drink waiting at the end ... sounds like a proper Plett Camino! 😄🥾🍷 So glad you ladies had such fun along the way. Come back anytime… the hills will still be here! 😂🌿 Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

This is my first hike and will be the first of many. I was, daily, pleasantly surprised. The experience was a mixture of sore legs, spectacular views, wonderful accommodation and meals which far exceeded my expectations. Our wonderful and knowledgeable guides, Ricky and Jess, made my experience a combination of learning and physical challenges. A fantastic balance.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Maggie! ❤️ Your first hike and hopefully the start of many more! 🥾🌿 A few sore legs are a small price to pay for those views, fabulous food and a week of adventure. 😄 So glad Ricky and Jess made it such a special one. Welcome to the hiking club! ❤️ Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

This was an awesome experience with great guides, lovely accommodation and food was superb. Th logistics are well managed, and all the experiences were great. I would recommend it to anybody but do train before you go - some lovely uphills. The scenery is stunning and information shared is great.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Louise! ❤️ We’re so glad you loved the whole experience. And yes, a little training beforehand definitely makes those “lovely uphills” a whole lot lovelier! 😂🥾⛰️ Thanks for walking with us and for the wonderful recommendation. 🌿❤️ Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

The Plett Camino

5 day Camino Plettenberg Bay

5 Days – 5 Nights – 75 Km

A  fully catered, slack packing hiking trail through the forests and river valleys of the Garden Route, from the Garden of Eden near Knysna to the Keurbooms River and the rugged coastline of Plettenberg Bay.

From solo adventurers to families and friends of up to 12 hikers, our expert guides transform the trail into more than just a walk, weaving in stories of ecology, history, and culture while ensuring your safety every step of the way.

Farmhouse-style accommodation, delicious meals and drinks, knowledgeable guides, two wine tastings and a game drive across the Plett Game reserve all included … and of course, we carry your bags !

The diversity of trails, views, friendships and experiences along the way, leave you wondering how Plett could be so close, yet feel so far away for five full days.

The hike incorporates leaf-covered single tracks below the forest canopy, to open fynbos trails, to river crossings and rock hopping along the river beds, and of course, some steepish climbs out of the valleys before tackling the iconic Robberg Peninsula.

A new addition to the South African multi-day hiking trails in the Western Cape, set right in the middle of the Garden Route.

Book now to secure your week.

!! BUEN CAMINO !!

ALL INCLUSIVE catered hike

From R14 500 per person sharing, your trip cost covers the whole trip from start to finish.

The experience is filled with surprises. Be it a welcoming G&T every afternoon, or wine and bubbles with home made cheeses, a game drive across plains teaming with animals, to home-made food, a good old SA braai with a glass of red wine or a hot chocolate by the fire after a steep climb out of a cool river bed.

Our lodges en route are charming farmhouse-style stays, each with its own character and individual room layout. Rooms are generally twin share, with queen-sized beds available in some rooms. Most rooms have private en suite bathrooms, and our final night is spent in a beautiful luxury private home between the sea and the mountains, the perfect place to reflect on your Camino.

Swimming pools and cosy fireplaces complete the experience at each venue.

Plett Camino is SAFE, FRIENDLY, FUN

The Plett Camino provides a safe trail hiking experience for both single lady or gent hikers, couples, families and hiking groups. Safety and enjoyment are essential, and trails are guided by qualified guides, supported by a team of staff and off-road vehicles.
“How tough is the Plett Camino really?” – (click here LICK HERE to find out)

We cater for all ages from early teens to people well into their late seventies, but only you know your fitness level. If you are happy with ±14kms a day, then this is the trail for you. There are no steep drop offs or ropes or chains en route and no river crossings where you are required to swim.

Some walks give you beautiful views. Others give you new friends too. 🥾❤️
Heather joined the Plett Camino with a group of acquaintances and, five days later, they're leaving as friends, with plenty of laughs, shared kilometres and memories she says she’ll never forget.
That’s a pretty special part of the Camino. 🌿

How far would you walk for a wine tasting? Asking for a friend. 😉🥾🍷

The Plett Camino takes you on a five-day journey through some of the Garden Route’s most incredible landscapes, from ancient indigenous forest and mountain valleys to fynbos, river crossings, wine estates and the wild coastline of Robberg. And because no two days are the same, there’s always something new waiting around the next bend.

Best of all? It’s slackpacking. Your luggage is transferred, your meals and drinks are taken care of, and there’s a comfortable bed waiting at the end of every day.

All you have to do is walk 110 000 steps 😉

We walk it. We love it. And we want to help protect it. 🌿

So much of what makes the Plett Camino special is the incredible natural environment we get to call home, our forests, rivers, estuaries, beaches and wildlife.

That’s why we’re proud to support Conserve Eden and its fundraising campaign to fund a dedicated Conservation Manager, helping to protect these special places for the future. Businesses like ours benefit enormously from this beautiful part of the world, and we believe we also have a role to play in looking after it.

And we’d love to challenge other local businesses to join us.

We have a way to go before we hit our target, so please consider contacting Mark on 0845 498 498 or contact@conserveeden.co.za to sign up as a donor. 

Every contribution helps protect the place we’re so lucky to call home. 💚
