Activities

Plettenberg Bay sits in the heart of the Garden Route and is packed with things to do — from Big 5 safaris and whale watching to forest walks and the world’s highest bridge bungy. Here are some of our guests’ favourites. Click through to each one to find out more and book.

Robberg Nature Reserve

A dramatic coastal hike on a World Heritage peninsula, with a Cape fur seal colony and sweeping ocean views. Choose a short loop or the full circuit.

Whale & Dolphin Watching – Ocean Safaris

Boat-based whale watching (southern rights and humpbacks from roughly June to November), with dolphins, seals and seabirds year-round.

Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve

A malaria-free safari just outside town — two-hour open-vehicle game drives with rhino, elephant, lion and plenty more.

Birds of Eden

Walk through the world’s largest free-flight bird dome, home to over 3,500 birds across an indigenous forest gorge.

The world’s first free-roaming primate sanctuary — a guided forest walk among rescued monkeys, apes and lemurs.

Jukani Wildlife Sanctuary

Get close to rescued big cats — lions, tigers, leopards and cheetahs — on a guided conservation tour.

Bloukrans Bungy

Leap off the world’s highest commercial bridge bungy at 216m, about 40 minutes from Plett — or just watch from the Sky Walk.

Suspension bridges, coastal forest trails and the famous Storms River Mouth in the Garden Route National Park.

Plett’s Blue Flag Beaches

Six Blue Flag beaches along a 35km coastline — Central, Robberg 5, Lookout and more for swimming, surfing and long walks.
