Oystercatcher Trail

Located in Boggomsbaai, Oystercatcher trail is a professionally guided walking tour along the beaches, dunes, cliffs and fynbos on the rugged South Cape coastline near Mossel Bay Garden Route. It is one of the first to introduce the Slackpacking concept - a World-renowned trail, described as one of the top 50 hikes worldwide by the likes of the BBC and Getaway, also featured in major media brands and productions. Visitors will hike the largely undeveloped South Cape(Garden Route) coastline between Mossel Bay and Gourikwa Private Nature Reserve, crossing the spectacular Gouritz River along the way. The Mossel Bay area features the Big 5 of the ocean, being a World-class biodiversity hotspot. During the mild cooler months, Whales come in to give birth in the quiet protected bays. The combination of bird and marine life and a great variety of Fynbos species makes it a nature enthusiast paradise. Guests may leave their luggage at the accommodation, so they will only need to carry a small day-pack on their walk. Making hiking an absolute slackpacking pleasure. Overnight accommodation in well-appointed coastal establishments, which are confirmed according to group size and hiking duration, are included in the full board trails, or a self-catering option is available on request.
