Plettenberg Bay is the Garden Route's most beautiful beach town, nestled between the Tsitsikamma Mountains and the Indian Ocean. This full-day explorer combines three unforgettable experiences: a boat-based ocean safari where you'll spot dolphins, seals, and possibly whales; a hike along the spectacular Robberg Peninsula with its dramatic cliff formations and seal colony; and a visit to Birds of Eden, the world's largest free-flight bird aviary housed under a massive dome in indigenous forest.
