Tsitsikamma is the crown jewel of the Garden Route — a pristine national park where ancient forests meet dramatic rocky coastline. This guided day hike covers the best of the park. Walk the famous suspension bridge over the Storms River mouth, hike through 800-year-old Yellowwood forests on the Big Tree trail, and explore the wild rocky coastline where the Indian Ocean crashes against towering cliffs. Your expert nature guide identifies birds, fynbos plants, and forest creatures along the way.
