About this activity

A 3-night, 4-day hiking escape created especially for people who want to travel and hike with their dogs.

Explore the Hermanus coastline and mountain trails on professionally guided hikes, then return each day to comfortable, fully fenced dog-friendly accommodation. Breakfasts and dinners are prepared for the group by a private chef, while small group numbers keep the experience personal and relaxed.

The difference is simple: your dog is not an add-on — your dog is part of the experience. Hike together, explore together and enjoy a multi-day getaway designed around both people and their canine companions.
