The Plett Camino
5 day Camino Plettenberg Bay
5 Days – 5 Nights – 80 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.

!! BUEN CAMINO !!
ALL INCLUSIVE catered hike
@ R13 900 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 rustic farmhouse-style bed and breakfasts. Each one is unique and homely with private bathrooms and crisp white sheets. Rooms are typically twin beds with two people sharing, and queen or king sized beds for couples. A swimming pool awaits weary hikers each day and a fireplace for those colder evenings.
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.

Amazing food.
Great company.

In honour of Human Rights Day, we’d like to take this moment to ask – what does freedom look like to you?
One of our biggest values on the Plett Camino is freedom, and it’s something we strive to achieve in some form each day. We know it’s not always possible in our busy modern lives, but we encourage our hikers today and every day to take a moment to pause, to slow down. To sit and reflect on what’s really important. Take the time to appreciate having the freedom to explore, freedom to slow down and the freedom to choose adventure.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, tell us below what freedom means to you?
