This place is a gorgeous hiking peninsula. It has wonderful views from all sides. It is the best place for hiking in the Garden Route area. It has three hiking Trails (2.1 km, 5.5km, and 9 km) with medium difficulty. It is very well maintained and preserved. It has a colony of seals (public nature reserve). You can enjoy watching seals, sharks, sunset, nature bueties, and wonderful views. And enjoy doing s nice hiking exercise. It has a very clean beach with weak waves. It is very nice to spend half a day, or one day in this place. It is better to come early to enjoy the hiking trails and the place. In short, if you like to do only one hiking in the Garden Route area, this one should be your first choice. Entrance fee (as of Aug. 2022): Adults: 60 Rand per person. Childern: 40 Rand per child.

What an amazing trail! Paths are well maintained and indicated. Would highly recommend for a family outing, or for a workout to sprint around the point. Full loop is approximately 8km with 200m of elevation. Keep in mind weather can change suddenly.

Did the long hike just over 9km right around the promontory. Absolutely recommended. Stunning views and fascinating flora. Saw a lot of cape fur seals and dolphins playing in the ocean. Stunning! If you are hiking fit an easy hike of 3 - 4 hours. I would recommend taking a whole day so that you can take in all the view points and swim at the lovely beach on the last stretch.

It was our first trip to Robberg yesterday. We first weren't sure if we should go in or not. I'm glad we decided to go in though. Most beautiful views! We did the shortest walk - the Gap. Not very prepared but it was an easy walk on a well kept path. Such interesting rock formations along the way. There's a colony of seals that live on the island - thus it's name. It was so cool to see so many of them in one place. Bathrooms are clean and well kept. Great place for a picnic. We want to go down to the beach area next time. I see fishing is allowed which is a nice weekend activity as well. I see there's renovations or upgrades being done in the info building. Was a bit disappointed that we couldn't go in and ask questions about the flora and geography aspects we saw along the way. Also there's a very convenient coffee stand by the parking lot. I just wish they had ice cream. I would definitely recommend going hiking here.

Wow, what a stunningly beautiful spot. It was a magical walk. It costs R60 per adult (Dec 21).We didn't do the full loop as the going can get a bit tough. If you are fit, tackle the walk. There are rocky bits, deep sand and some good climbs. It was worth every step, fabulous.
