Plettenberg Bay
HAPPENINGS GUIDE
PLETT HIGH FIVE
The boss of adventure destinations, Plett, is bringing out
the big guns for a season of adventure in nature. Plett is the
crosscountry of adventure destinations in SA, arguably the
world. With more than 30 adventures across the region, from
the forests of Harkerville to the mountains of Tsitsikamma,
Plett is the ultimate base camp from which to tackle the
toughest, most insane adventures to be found. Canyoning,
abseiling, zip-lining, scuba and skydiving, swimming with seals,
quad biking, blackwater tubing and, of course, leaping off the
world’s highest bungy bridge provide endless exhilaration in
the exquisite wilderness of Plett. Throttle down with a select
mix of unforgettable activities to balance out the thrill: horse
and hiking trails, stand-up paddling, kayaking, surfing, deepsea
angling, marine safaris and animal sanctuaries.
Date: 21 - 28 September

AFRICAN OTTER TRAIL RUN
The Otter African Classic Trail Run separates
the men from the boys, so to speak. Each year
The Otter African Trail Run takes place in an
alternating direction, so boring ‘same old same
old’ here! It’s the same route but different climbs
to conquer and all new spectacular views to look
forward to. 2018 will see the event run from West
to East, starting at Nature’s Valley and finishing
at Storms River Mouth Rest Camp. Marathon
Distance. Four river crossings. Over 2600 meters
of elevation gain and 11 significant climbs. This is
what makes The Otter ‘The Grail of Trail’.
Date: 9 - 12 October
