The Otter Trail
Location: Between Storms River and Nature’s Valley
Distance: 45 km
Duration: 5 days
Terrain: The trail hugs the coastline and goes through indigenous forest and fynbos. Expect steep climbs and steep descents, especially before and after river crossings. You can swim in the sea, rivers and rock pools. Lots of shade.
On the first day you cover an easy distance to get used to the weight of your backpack. After about an hour (3 km), you’ll reach a waterfall, where you can swim and rest. Visitors to the Storms River rest camp in the Garden Route National Park can hike
