Wonderful week exploring the unseen side of Plett walking through the varied biomes in the hills and valleys behind Plettenberg Bay. Outstanding guides and support crew, high standard accommodation and food and wonderful treats and surprises on the way.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bernard. You guys were an amazing group. It's always good to see the bond between groups of hiking friends as they tackle new turf but regale old stories of hikes gone by. Thanks again for the support and happy hiking... Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Wonderful experience, and the views are magnificent! Worth the trip..
Response from the owner:Hi Charlene, It was such a pleasure having you and Marc with us. So many of the guests were genuinely moved by their interactions with you both. One moment that really stood out was watching you connect with the farmer and his lambs using sign language. It was something special and it touched a lot of people. Wishing you both all the best for your future hikes. Happy hiking Iain and the Plett Camino Team 😊

Breathtaking views, delicious food, well-organised and just an incredibly fun week
Response from the owner:HI Kerike It was a delight to have you and Erika on the trip. We have had a few mother/daughter trips and I must say they have always turned out so well for the ladies concerned. There is plenty of time to really get together and chat in stoning surroundings. We are so glad you had fun. Happy hiking Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

We were group 131, and really experienced the expertise built up by the organisers over some time, in all facets of the five days' camino. No bad surprises, only good ones. The atmosphere in which we were welcomed and accompanied was a tremendous boost for individual and group morale and bonding. For those fit enough to do the 80 km with its challenges, this is money very well spent. An unforgettable experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you Wynand. This is an awesome review... we loved having you and Maureen join the group ... it was a superb week all round ... Im not sure who had more fun, you guys or us 🙂 ... see you again when you come through Plett. Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

A magical few days in a beautiful part of our country (first time for me!) - best way to see Plett through different eyes. A comfortable hike through amazing scenery, different trails and tracks, super comfy accommodation every night and just waaaay too much yummy home cooked food along the way too. Chilled G&T's at the end of each day hit the spot perfectly - as did the refreshing swimming pools! A very well organized little trip - highly recommended, for friends, couples - or go it alone, you won't be "alone" for long! Definitely a trip to remember and would love to do another Camino or two in the not too distant future!
Response from the owner:Hi Jax ... thanks for the feedback ... we had a fabulous week with all of you ... and the pics and memories you left behind were amazing ... Until next time, happy hiking ! 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 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.

🥾💚 Daphne will be the first to admit it was tough… 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! 🙌✨

Because the Plett Camino is about so much more than the physical challenge. It’s the laughs, the people, the confidence and discovering just how much you’re capable of.

☔ OOTD: Black plastic bags... with a chance of smiles. 😎🥾
When the weather has other plans, and someone forgets their rain jacket... we improvise. 😂
Because on the Plett Camino, a little rain has never stopped the adventure. It usually just makes for even better stories. 💚

10/10 would wear again. 😜

💚 There’s 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. 💪🥾 Clearing debris, repairing the river crossing and quite literally carving a brand-new pathway through to the foot of Postman James. 🌿

It’s the side of the Plett Camino you don’t 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. 💚

A huge shoutout to our whole team for putting in the hard yards, so our hikers can enjoy the beautiful ones.
