Known as 'the place of much water', the magnificent Tsitsikamma National Park is 70 km east of Plettenberg Bay.

A combined marine and forest Park, it stretches for about 80 km from the lagoon at Nature's Valley to the mouth of the Groot River in the Eastern Cape.  This narrow coastal strip has a temperate climate and a high rainfall, resulting in cascading waterfalls, evergreen indigenous forests and awesome river gorges. 

The pristine marine reserve extends for 5 km out to sea, providing unique snorkelling and diving opportunities, as well as boat cruises.

From Honey Badgers to Hiking

The forests are home to an abundance of birds, antelope, bush pig, honey badgers and the occasional leopard, as well as the impressive indigenous Yellowwood trees, which grow up to 50m high and can live as long as 800 years. 

There are also various cultural heritage sites including caves and rock art.

There are numerous forest and coastal hiking trails, depending on your fitness and ability, or if you just want to relax, there is the choice of a small beach at Storms River or the unspoilt sands and surf at Nature's Valley.
