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 !!

If you need to reset your mind and soul, best you walk / hike the Plett Camino! You do not need to be ultra fit, but I do recommend you train (in your trail / hiking shoes) and prepare yourself physically for at least a few weeks prior. A medium (as a minimum) level of fitness is a must. Do not expect a causal "walk in the park", if so you will be disappointed. Take 2 pairs of trail / hiking shoes, thick socks, smear your feat and toes in vaseline every morning, and wear a 2l camel pack backpack which has space for your occasional lunch pack, snacks and other necessary goodies. We were a group of 10 friends, but even as a couple, make the most of the group you're in. The entire experience from start to end was amazing! From the accommodation to the meals, we were spoilt. Having Ricky and Jessy with us through every walk, made it possible, sharing interesting facts from trees to birds all along the way. With Archie as our back-up man...completing all the logistical tasks, we never had to carry our bags in difficult circumstances! Thank you Iain for the daily support and Pam in the background! The Plett Camino team are like a "well oiled machine!" As a serious nature lover, I would highly recommend the Plett Camino!! The memories will stay in my heart forever xxx !!

Response from the owner:That's a fantastic review. I'd make the reply a little more personal because she has clearly put real effort into writing it: Cat, what an absolutely fabulous review ... thank you! ❤️ We loved reading this, right down to the Vaseline and two pairs of shoes! 😂 It was such a pleasure having you and your gang on the trail, and I’ll make sure Ricky, Jessy, Archie, Pam and the rest of the team see your lovely words. “A well-oiled machine”... we’ll happily own that! 😜 Thank you for bringing your energy to us and for leaving some of your good vibes on the Plett Camino trails. 🥾🌿❤️ Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Absolutely loved this hike - fabulous guides, great accommodations and truly wonderful food. The organisation was impressive and all the logistics were planned meticulously - even when plans had to be changed due to bad weather! The group we walked with were a great mix and we all got along so well, lovely evenings chatting and getting to know everyone, Would recommend this Camino!

Response from the owner:Hi Claire…. what a fabulous review, thank you! ❤️ This really captures what we hope a Plett Camino will be… beautiful trails, great food, lots of laughs and new friendships along the way. 🥾🌿 Even the weather couldn’t spoil this one! 😜 So glad you loved the adventure, and thank you for recommending us. 🙏 Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!
