A walk is just a walk – unless you have some meaningful experiences on the way. The Overberg Trail Experience is about walking between life-changing experiences in a remote community.
It is about wonder, discovery and joy.
Our area of focus is the Kleinrivier mountain range which covers about 140 sqkm between Stanford, Tesselaarsdal and Hermanus. This will be your playground for 4 nights and 5 days.
The Trail is directed at knowledge-based tourism and is designed from the bottom up, with the support of local landowners and staff, rather than top down by trail operators. Instead of keeping your head down and taking one step after the other, we hope to introduce you to a beautiful and unspoiled area, its activities and its community, in a way that will build your knowledge incrementally, so that you can recognize and savour its distinctive features, as they are revealed to you.
JANE CURTIS
"We did not just get great walks; we got a lot more. In fact, it was an experience that satisfied all the senses i.e. Vision, Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing and Proprioception (body awareness)."
JONATHAN MITCHELL
"It was fascinating to be amongst nature and all of the flora and fauna…the talks given by Lindsay on proteas as well as the history of Tesselaarsdal is most interesting and well worth listening to."
KIT HODGE & HELEN HOARE
"This was a fun and enjoyable experience spent with some wonderful people...Helen and I enjoyed every aspect from the walks & the Honeymoon Suite, to the happy interactions within the group."
GIGI THOMPSON
"The trails were perfect...they were not too long or dangerous!!! You want the hikers to be in awe when they had completed the Overberg Experience. We all were."
