We drive you to one of the most isolated villages in the Wild Coast. From here we trek 7.5km north to see the most amazing natural art you can imagine. Mfihlelo Waterfall or The Secret Waterfall is the first surprise. Then Town hall, a big rock with an arch door just like the name says. Cathedral Rock is a wow; it just can’t get more amazing than this. Then we arrive at Green Mamba Pools where we cool off and prepare to see the high light of the day. Waterfall Bluff is next and here we enjoy our well deserved lunch. If you are the first to see the dolphins and whales you get an ice cold beer back in the village.
Sleep over in this village is a must. Village children come and sing at night and the Xhosa Supper is good. We visit the local shebeen and Africa is folding her arms around you. Now you know why you came to Port St John’s.
All food, transport from Port St John's, guiding and accomodation incl. R350 pp.
