The Otter Hiking Trail

You cross the Geelhoutbos River to start the day and follow the rocky coastline to Elandsbos River.

Be prepared to get wet at this crossing, depending on recent rains and tides. A tricky climb on the other side.

If you thought you completed all the hill climbing on day 2, think again!

Reach the Lottering River towards the end of the day, after quite a steep descent. As with all river crossings, be aware of high and low tides and always try to cross at low tide. Although the crossing at the Lottering river is a way back from the river mouth, a crossing at high tide could be tricky, especially after a long day on the trail.

Tips for Day 3:

• Keep your swimming costume and sandals (wet shoes) close at hand for the crossings.
• Keep an eye out for passing dolphins and whales at the Oakhurst Huts, which are situated on the ocean edge.
• Enjoy the sunsets!
