Take a group and walk Robberg. A once in a lifetime experience. I have been doing it since a kid and will still jump at the opportunity to do it again :-)

We were completely naive and thought we will go for a stroll.. Far from it. We did the entire loop, which took us 3-4 hours and was scary at some points. But I would do it over and over again. A must do! Just take some water and snacks with you with plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.

Fabulous walk - if you want to do the whole loop, make sure you have sensible walking shoes and plenty of water. Not for the faint at heart! The views and nature is worth it though - seeing seals surfing at the point was the highlight!

There are 3 trails here. The shortest one can take about two hours to traverse while you take some pictures along the way. There really isn't much in the way of animals or birds to see. Maybe when the whales show up it will be different.Even the easy trail may have some tough spots for you if you have trouble... More

Take the longest trail and it will reward you with an experience of a life-time. Beautiful views but take your water and snack to beat off the fatigue.

A choice of 3 hikes ranging from an easy 1-2km stroll to a 9 hour tough trek. With our 3 kids, we opted for the middle distance of appr 6km and our 4 year old really impressed us. Stunning views, lovely walk to the Island and back via the Gap on this must do circular route. Well worth it.

This walk was recommended to us and I'm so pleased we did it. There are a choice of three, easy, mediem and slightly more arduous. Unlike on British walks we found ourselves being directed around the base of cliffs, scrambling over rocks and climbing down huge sand dunes. we saw seals and dolphins a loads of sea birds. Even though... More
