Things to do in Nature's Valley

Bloukrans Bridge

Bloukrans Bridge is a concrete arch bridge spanning the Bloukrans River valley, with the river below forming the boundary between the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape. Built in the early 1980s, the bridge deck is approx. 216m above the valley floor, with a main span of approx. 272m. The grayish-white bridge spans the ocher-red cliffs, with lush forests at the bottom of the valley. Since 1997, the bridge has hosted bungee jumping activities. Before jumping, you need to walk along the suspended walkway under the bridge to the platform in the center of the gorge. After leaping, you will experience a free fall before swinging in the gorge. In addition to bungee jumping, you can also experience the suspended walkway to watch the bungee jumping process up close from under the bridge, or try the zip-line across the gorge. There are viewing spots on the side of the bridge where you can see the complete arch bridge structure as well as the views of the valley, forest, and distant mountains below. Even if you do not participate in activities like bungee jumping, you can still enjoy the view of the bridge and the surrounding valley from the walkway and viewing spots.

The Garden Route

Forests, lagoons, lakes, estuaries, and beaches are interspersed throughout, creating distinct natural scenery. Most of the roads at this attraction run parallel to the coastline. While driving, you can see golden beaches, rugged cliffs, and dense forests along the coast on one side, and the mountainous backdrop formed by the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains on the other. As the road continues forward, the mountain and sea views constantly change, making it especially suitable for parking at any time during a self-drive trip to enjoy the natural scenery. The natural scenery facilities along the route mainly consist of forest trails, coastal exploration routes, and viewing areas.

Tsitsikamma National Park

Tsitsikamma National Park is a component of the Garden Route National Park, extending along the south coast of South Africa, with a marine protected area covering dozens of km of pristine coastline. The landscape here is diverse—primeval forests spread along river valleys, cliffs plunge directly into the sea, mountain fynbos and coastal wilderness grow intertwined, and rivers rush from the inland into the sea, carving out deep canyon views. Storms River Mouth is the core area of the park. A suspension bridge spans the mouth, and walking on it offers a view of the magnificent convergence of river water and ocean waves. On the other side of the bridge, a short, steep trail leads to a viewing platform, where you can take in the panoramic view of the entire mouth. The Otter Trail from Storms River to Nature's Valley is a classic multi-day hiking route in South Africa, spanning approx. 40 km, traversing beaches, cliffs, wilderness, and primeval forests, offering panoramic views of the coastline along the way.
