* Hiking There are several day hikes in the area. The closest being the Brown-hooded Kingfisher trail which starts about 4km from Libertas and takes about 2hours to complete. It leads you up the valley along the Duiwe River and to a waterfall with a rock pool for swimming. Plenty of forest birds can be seen along the way. The Woodville Big Tree is also just 4km away. The indigenous forest at the 800-year old tree is a favourite. Take a picnic basket and look for forest fairies. * Canoeing on the Touw River in the Wilderness National Park Rent a canoe from the Eden Adventures office in the Wilderness section of the Garden Route National Park.
