I can only speak in superlatives about the Plettenberg Camino, from the accomodation, catering, the organisation.....actually the whole experience. I had the most awesome time (perhaps not including Postman James, but I did make it up eventually!) Many thanks to Iain and the entire team for everything you do to make this trip so memorable.

We loved every moment! All the admin, briefings, luggage transfers and daily walks went smooth sailing. Plett Camino, you have a winning recipe! Your guides were superb, accommodation excellent and the food was delicious. Our group had the time of our life!

I had high expectations of the Plet Camino, but I have to say all my expectations were exceeded. The organization was on point, the venues were clean and comfortable and the food was fantastic. The various hosts were welcoming and went out of there way to make this a great experience. After day 2 we already started researching the next Camino we would be doing. Well done and thank you to all involved

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
Debbie Butters
An experience I would definitely recommend! Loved it all. Guided knowledgable and caring. Trails breathtaking. Thank you! Debbie
Response from the owner:Thank you Debbie ... what a week it was ! ... I must say that it is groups like yours that make it all the more worthwhile for us. Thanks again for taking the time to send us your thoughts. Until next time Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!
