We are two Americans on a road trip throughout the garden route. We started in Cape Town and this has been our favorite stop along the way! Although it is winter, we got a beautiful morning of sunshine. I can’t recommend stopping here enough!

When you think you’ve seen it all… WHAT A PLACE. Absolutely stunning and impressive. Comparable to Cape of Good Hope but way more nature und less tourists. Totally love it. Had relatively bad weather but still insanely great. Did the 5km hike which is doable with a „basic stamina“.

What a beautiful hike with spectacular views of the bay, I took the 11 km route around the Point and my wife the shorter walk through the gap. The paths were well marked out with a few boardwalks and steps to help. Highlights were seeing Candelabra Flowers blooming along the way and I loved watching the seals in their hundreds basking in the sun. Definitely a place I'd like to visit again.
