Wilderness is only 40km far from Knysna, 50km away from Mossel Bay and 60 kilometers away from Oudsthoorn, all distances that can quickly be covered in leisurely outings. Also Wilderness Beach has been awarded the "Blue Flag", an International recognition for beaches with clean water and impeccable ecological management.
The town of Wilderness permits you to truly delight in local food with its lots of restaurants, many of which are accessable on foot. The town likewise boasts its own Lagoon and a lovely Park. There is a shopping mall, an art gallery and a bank teller machine, so if you don't want to drive at all for a few days and just appreciate beach and bistros, this is absolutely the place for you!
If you Google search "Garden Route South Africa" you will discover all there is to know about the many tasks readily available in the area. You can go water tubing down Storms River Gorge or Kloofing at Kaaimans Kloof. You can go Abseiling down Kaaimans Gorge or canoeing along the Touw River. If you are not afraid of heights, you can glide from tree to tree in Environment-friendly tree adventures.
Wilderness is just an hour's drive from Plettenberg Bay, where you can take off for some wonderful Ocean Safaris. Boat based whale watching and dolphin encounters can be extremely intense, especially if your chosen business has a SABBWWA license as they can get within 50 meters of the whales. Ocean safaris are offered throughout the year; in winter you will see the Southern Right whales and Humpback whales, in summertime you will see ordinary dolphins, bottle-nose dolphins as well as the rare humpback dolphin that is just sighted in this area. Apart from dolphins and whales you will like seeing Robberg Seal Colony, with its hundreds of seals and fluffy seal cubs.
Another way to appreciate Wilderness and the bordering area is with hikes and horse rides in the nature reserves. You may quickly find bush pigs, bush-buck, monkeys and numerous beautiful birds, especially the Knysna Loerie. Leopards and Caracal (Rooikat) are more difficult to find as they only come out at night and usually keep away from people.
For yet another possible way to enjoy awesome views and a little adrenalin, you can go for a tandem paraglide. No paragliding experience is essential as you will fly with a seasoned instructor, and all you will need to do is sit back and relax and delight in the spectacular views. The very best launch sites are at Kleinkrantz, Wilderness Neach, Map of Africa, Sedgeview and Gerrickes Point.
Wilderness and the Garden Route also allow for more ordinary activities such as shopping sprees and wine tasting.
Due to the fact that they are an exceptional event to discover truly good and original souvenirs, ask your tourist information center where and when you will find craft markets. The artisans and ladies normally offer their own production therefore you will have the opotunity to get to talk and know to some citizens. Individuals in this area are extremely friendly and helpful, and they are usually honest to travelers.
For the wine tasting you can jump onto the Cape Route 62 which runs parallel to the N2. This road is also referred to as the Wine Route and it will lead you straight to a few of the country's best wine estates. It runs through Knysna and Oudsthoorn therefore you can possibly combine a day trip to among these towns with lunch on a neighboring wine estate.
The Garden Route is genuinely a magnificent place to visit and Wilderness is its hidden gem!
