The Plett Camino
5 day Camino Plettenberg Bay
5 Days โ 5 Nights โ 75 Km
A ย 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 โฆ 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.

!! 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.

Every great Camino needs a good chommie. ๐ฅพ๐๐
For Daphne, that chommie was her Plett Camino walking stick that was there for the climbs, the kilometres and all 80km of adventure! Even better? The sticks are made locally and available to buy on your Plett Camino, so your trusty trail companion also helps support our local community. ๐
Come for the walk. Leave with a new chommieโฆ and a pretty special keepsake. ๐

๐ณ Meet the Going Nowhere Tree.
This is the real soul of the Plett Camino. The wildness of nature. Its resilience. Its surprises. And the little wonders and stories you only discover when you get out there and walk amongst it.
In May this year, the Keurbooms River came roaring through, leaving the landscape and parts of our trail forever changed. But amongst all that change, one thing stayed exactly where it was. ๐ณ๐
The only tree for miles to withstand the incredible force of the river, it stood its ground through floodwaters that reached close to the levels of the 100-year flood. And we think thereโs something pretty special about that.
Some things are simply worth stopping for. ๐ฟโจ

Forest paths. Ocean views. Fresh air. Great company. Time to think. Time not to think.
The Camino is simple. That`s why it works.

๐ฅพ๐ Daphne will be the first to admit it was toughโฆ but with the support of our guides and her fellow hikers, she did it, had an absolute blast, and came out of her shell along the way! ๐โจ
Because the Plett Camino is about so much more than the physical challenge. Itโs the laughs, the people, the confidence and discovering just how much youโre capable of.

๐ Thereโs a whole lot of love behind every kilometre.
As you may know, back in May, an incredible storm swept across the Garden Route. The Keurbooms River came roaring through and the landscape, including parts of the Plett Camino trail, was forever changed.
So, our team got to work. ๐ช๐ฅพ Clearing debris, repairing the river crossing and quite literally carving a brand-new pathway through to the foot of Postman James. ๐ฟ
Itโs the side of the Plett Camino you donโt always see, the muddy boots, hard work and many hands that go into making every day on the trail as incredible as possible. We love these trails, care for them and keep finding the best way forward. ๐
A huge shoutout to our whole team for putting in the hard yards, so our hikers can enjoy the beautiful ones.
