Tourist hot spot in Africa

Robberg Nature Reserve located in South Africa, a marine reserve and national monument approximately 4 kilometres in length that sweeps out into the ocean, something like a small Cape peninsular. Rocks here date rear to the early Cretaceous period - approximately 110 million years old - and during the whale period the point is perfect place to spot whales and dolphins.

Robberg Nature Reserve is a exciting inoculation of outdoor living - incredible scenery, views over shoreline and sea, a flourishing Cape fur seal colony, a huge diversity of bird life, and exclusively beautiful fynbos.
Another way of seeing Robberg is to sea kayak, with an experienced guide, from Central beach in Plettenberg Bay to the nature reserve. This exhilarating and surely substitute way of seeing the peninsular from the sea gives one up close and personal encounters with the occupier seal colony. From the sea, Robberg’s other secrets - its caves and rock faces that relay a story of their own, having stood the test of time alongside strong head winds and strong sea currents.

You have access to three trails that range from 45 minutes to 5 hours and 11 kilometres in length - a moderately strenuous (most of it is flat, and relatively easy going) circular walk that leads one right to the Robberg point - not advisable with little ones or at high tide.
