5-Day Tour

The Whale Trail is named after the more than hundred southern right whales that return to the waters of De Hoop every year to calve and mate. This 5 day trail takes you over the Potberg Mountain with its colourful fynbos, and coastal cliffs that hug the shoreline of one of the largest Marine Protected Areas in Africa. Unique habitats and natural contrasts make the Whale Trail of special ecological interest and an exceptional hiking experience, making it the premium hiking trail of the Western Cape.

The five-day trail stretches from Potberg to Koppie Alleen and has five overnight stops. Your vehicles are left at Potberg and a shuttle service returns you to Potberg from Koppie Alleen. This is slack-packing at its finest. Your extra luggage is transported every day to the next hut, so all you need to carry on the trail is a day pack. The 70-litre transport containers are waiting for you at Potberg hut.

R6, 900 Per Person.
