Practical guide to visit Robberg Park in Plettenberg Bay
Plettenberg Bay is THE seaside town of Garden Route. It moves a lot and offers many tourist activities (see our article on the best things Plettenberg Bay has to offer). But the best for us is to explore the Robberg national park. It is a jewel of beauty and for us the most beautiful park on the whole garden route.

How to visit Robberg National Park near Plettenberg Bay in South Africa?
The Robberg site offers 3 walks but avoid the 30 min one because the highlight of the show remains the peninsula at the edge of the park. The other two hikes of 2h or 4h are simply unavoidable. There is no great difficulty and everyone can do the 2 hour ride without problem.
In both cases, plan a swimsuit! You will not be able to resist to throw yourself in the water at the beach which forms an arm of the sea. Finally, if you wish to take a picnic, there is a excellent bakery in the main street of Plettenberg Bay held by French.
Stroll through Plettenberg Bay before sleeping in the best tip in town
After your excursion to Robberg Park, take advantage of the end of the afternoon to take a tour of Plettenberg Bay and have a good evening. The shopping streets are pleasant and the bars very lively.
In the evening, we advise you to sleep at the B&B 113 on Robberg who made us very welcome and who is well located for a reasonable price.

Our tips for a successful trip:
- Book your flight in advance to take advantage of the best prices
Airline ticket prices are cheaper when booked 6 to 3 months in advance. To be sure of getting the best price, we recommend using a flight comparator such as Skyscanner.
- Book your accommodation before departure to have access to the best offers
You will always find a room at the last minute, but the best located accommodations are necessarily those that are always full. That's why it's best to book your accommodations as soon as possible. We recommend going through Agoda which offers the best prices. In addition, this site allows you to be easily reimbursed in the event of cancellation.
- Skip the line to visit the most popular attractions
By booking your excursions in advance on Civitatis, you do not queue on site to get your tickets. Less time waiting = more time enjoying your vacation! Plus, their guided tours ensure you have a knowledgeable guide who speaks your language.
- Use a comparator to find a rental car at the lowest price
Save yourself hours of research with rentalcar.com ou discovercars.com. These comparators are the best for finding rental cars at the lowest prices.
- Don't leave without travel insurance
For us, it is unimaginable to leave without travel insurance. We recommend the one proposed by AXIS. This is the best guaranteed way to leave with peace of mind. However, consider taking out additional specialized insurance for activities not covered (such as skiing or scuba diving).
