The whale trail is a 54km route from Potberg to Koppie Alleen and it includes five overnight stops. Hikers can savor the fragrance of fynbos on the Potberg Mountains and the unique fynbos plains intermingled with a salty sea air – such is the diversity of De Hoop Nature Reserve.

The trail is designed to attract nature lovers with a moderate degree of fitness. THE TRAIL IS BOOKED UP A YEAR IN ADVANCE. 

Unfortunately, children under eight are not allowed. Each day’s hike varies in intensity with walks between 7,8km and 15km, and the walks allow time out to explore marine life in the many rock pools along the coast.

While hiking and marveling at the abundance of indigenous plants, and yes of course Whales! Relax on the dunes and watch in awe as these beautiful creatures gather in large numbers a mere kilometer from the shore line.
