Wilderness is a sought-after holiday destination along the Western Cape’s magnificent Garden Route.
The quiet coastal village of Wilderness lies between the Kaaimans River and the Goukama Nature Reserve and is bordered by the towering Outeniqua Mountains. Extensive waterways, pristine beaches, and lush indigenous forests make it a nature lover’s paradise. Watersports enthusiasts flock to the ocean, rivers, lakes, and lagoons. Wilderness not only overlooks the ocean, but also the calm lagoon (Touw River Estuary), which is a favoured location for water skiing, boating, fishing, and other water sports. Bird watchers are attracted by the abundant birdlife. The wetlands are home to over 200 species of bird, including the Fish Eagle, Nightjar, and Southern Boubou. Other adventure activities include mountain biking, quad biking, hang gliding, paragliding, abseiling, bungee jumping, and diving.
Wilderness has over 18km of golden beach sands that are ideal for fishing, sunbathing, swimming, surfing, or a scenic stroll. The most popular beaches include the Touw River mouth, Leentjiesklip, The Boardwalk on 6th Avenue, The Fisherman’s Walk on 8th Avenue, and Kleinkrantz. Visitors are advised to be careful when swimming as there are strong currents. Wilderness boasts wonderful dolphin and whale watching at Dolphin Point, Wilderness Beach, 6th Avenue Lookout Point, and Flat Rock. Although Bryde’s whales, bottlenose dolphins, and humpback dolphins can be seen throughout the year, the best time to see Southern Right Whales is between July and November.
