Great place to hike. Definitely plan to do the big hike (min. 4 hrs.). Hike is not really complicated but you have to climb over rocks so I would rate it as mid to hard. You can see (and smell) the seals and also the great scenery. One of the best hikes we did in South Africa. We also saw a lot of dolphins and a whale (unfortunately far away but you can see them). The shark watcher also said he saw a big white shark a week before our visit.

Such beauty
Incredible scenery to take in, and good birdlife.
The hike is incredible, although slightly challenging in places, so make sure you're wearing decent shoes.
The beach is awesome and the island is well worth a visit.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, even if it was just for an afternoon

Absolutely incredible! One of the best hikes I’ve done in South Africa. The scenery is out of this world, dramatic cliffs, ocean views, seals on the rocks, and long stretches of untouched beach. You can choose shorter or longer trail loops depending on your time and energy. Totally worth it though! Pack water, sunscreen, and good shoes.

GORGEOUS views. We did the mid-sized trail and it was intense already - some difficult pieces along the way, but nothing impossible. Keep following the signs and you should have no problem.
If you can, go with impermeable shoes all closed because of the sand. The seals are easy to hear and spot, but binoculars make it easier. It’s amazing, you will love it.

An amazing hiking trail! I would say it’s more of an intermediate-level hike, with breathtaking views along the way. The untouched, virgin beaches felt like part of a dream. My boys especially loved spending time there—they even created a fun character called “PEPE”, complete with multiple defense systems to protect him from the wild, crashing waves. It was such a memorable and adventurous experience!

A truly breathtaking experience. The walk out to the peninsula at Robberg Nature Reserve is an absolute must in my opinion. The trails are well-maintained, and every step offers a new and more stunning vista than the last. Reaching the pristine beach at the end feels like discovering a hidden paradise; the sand is soft, and the water is crystal clear. The panoramic views of the bay and the ocean are simply world-class. For bird lovers, the birdlife is fantastic, with plenty to see and hear. This is without a doubt a five-star destination that showcases the best of the Garden Route's natural beauty

How to get a feeling for the early super continent of Gondwanaland as well as a connection to the earliest of humans that we all come from.
Easy walks, seals surfing in the waves, the most pristine beaches and the most special views...
The short walk to the Gap is easy and the longer ones also incredible.
In season probably best to go early since there's limited parking.
Good coffee available in the parking lot.
