Hluleka Nature Reserve is a hiker’s paradise, with a network of well-maintained footpaths suitable for day walks. Trails follow the rocky shore, meandering through coastal forests and along secluded, sandy beaches.
The Wild Coast Hiking Trail, from Port St Johns to Coffee Bay, promises multi-day slogging magic for adventurous soles (and souls). Beach cranking, especially on the southern section of the coast to Kei Mouth, adds a sublime coastal riding adventure to the must-do list of any mountain biker.
This is, after all, where the legendary Imana Wild Ride happens every year, so pack your bike! If you have a sea kayak, bring it. The estuary and ocean make for absolute aquatic magic, and will hugely boost your chances when fishing, too. Remember that the Wild Coast weather is not to be trifled with, though, and pack the necessary emergency kit when heading out onto open water.
