Our expectations were high for the Plett Camino and they were all exceeded. Well done.

Response from the owner:Thank you Jeremy . We really enjoyed having you and Gillian along on the trails. We always try to find an excuse to celebrate a special occasion on our Caminos and so am really happy that your anniversary was also one to remember. All the best Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Beautiful views while hiking with a great group and excellent guides turned the Camino into an unforgettable experience. The dinners and over night accommodations never disappointed and added another layer of enjoyment. Thanks to all involved for the outstanding organization, great food and comfortable stays!

I did the same hike in March 2024
and as it was so good, I decided to do it again based on the phenomenal scenery, excellent fully catered food and fantastic organisation of the 5 day hike. Guiding was of a v high standard and we had a lead guide as well as ‘sweeper’ trailing at the back. A new welcome addition to last year’s Plett Camino was to hike along the Robberg peninsula. Despite the atrocious weather on the day, it was a great deal of fun and we dried out over lunch at a local restaurant in Plett. As a 2nd timer, I would thoroughly recommend the experience.

Response from the owner:Wow Martin . Thanks for that stunning review. We really thoroughly enjoyed our week with you. Please be in touch when back in SA. Cheers. ~ iain

The Plett Camino is a very well-organized hike and was a blast from beginning to end. The hike itself takes you through stunning scenery with a good mix of terrain. The week was an amazing experience and I will recommend this to anyone

Response from the owner:Hi Rene Thanks for taking the time to send us your review ... it's always amazing for us to hear what our clients have to say. We are thrilled you had such a good time. All the best Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Abrie Traut

An experience to remember and cherish. Breathtaking sights, friendly hosts at each stop, knowledgable guides (Tiaan and Tina) and very well organised. All your needs are catered for - Breakfast, Lunch and Supper with drinks included (Water, soft drinks, beers, wine and G&T). Each day is different, walking through dense forests with a canopy of trees; fynbos or between pine plantations. A moderate degree of fitness is required, but the guides paces the group well and allows for rest stops as and when required. We finished most days in around 4-5hours so there is ample of time for R&R and enjoy the comany of fellow hikers.

Response from the owner:HI Abrie... thanks do much for the review ... we loved having you guys on the trails ... as the only gent on this one you were a star ... thanks again for joining us. Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Gwynne Lawlor

Response from the owner:HI Gwynne. Thanks so much to you and Rupert for joining us on the Camino. I think you'll agree, we all had super fun that week. Thank you so much for the review, we really appreciate it. We hope to see you guys again when you come this way. All the best Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Amanda Belcher

What an amazing experience, I would highly recommend this wonderful trek to all and sundry. Ian and his team are exceptional and we could not have wanted for anything. The pre-trek info was amazing, the help along the way was fabulous. We loved the accommodations and it was amazing to have the 'surprises' along the way. I would do this again! Thank you all who made our trek such fun!

Response from the owner:HI Amanda ... what a fun week it was ... we loved hosting you chaps and remember the discussions about what all of you do in your safari experience businesses up North ... Till our paths cross again ! Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Tracey Hudson

Brilliantly planned hike with comfortable accommodation and delicious meals. Roaring fires were welcomed at the end of a wet day out. Great to see another part of our beautiful country.

Response from the owner:Thank you Tracey. You guys were a delight. I am glad you all enjoyed it so much ... We enjoyed hosting all of you. Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!
