SAND RIVER GETAWAY

Sand River Waterfall Hike

This is a Bucket List event for sure!! Imagine an awesome adventure hike that leads you up a river, over rocks, through 7 crystal clear rock pools and reeds 8 feet tall, ending at an incredible pool and waterfall where you can chill, jump off rocks and get a free massage from the flowing water. This hike takes approximately 5 hours in total. All hikers must be able to swim and tread water, and all hikers must have a permit to enter the property. Permits are only available through Sand River Getaway, and entry in controlled due to the delicate balance of nature in the reserve, and high fire risk. 

Group hikes are organised by San River Getaway twice a month during summer, and dates for these hikes are posted on our Facebook page events page.

Walk or run up over the hills while enjoying the natural fynbos and birds under the Groot-Winterhoekberge Mountains 

The trail is conveniently divided into three distances, each one with it's own level of difficulty, thereby catering to all levels of fitness. From our easy and very enjoyable 4km forest walk; the more technical 6km which drops down into the thickly wooded and gorgeous valley, and the 10km which completes the hike on the sloping fynbos hills with vast sweeping views of the Groenedal mountains and the Sunday's River Valley.
