The terrain is very moderate, no steep up or down climbs. Tides will play a fairly important part as the major part of every day is along the beach. Rivers are often blind or very shallow at the mouth and where necessary, boat crossings will be provided. Group size in the beginning should not exceed 12.

After lunch a one hour walk will bring you to your overnight accommodation at Bushmans River. Day 3 After an early morning cup of coffee, walk for a little more than an hour to enjoy breakfast at the Fish Point Lighthouse built in 1898. The rest of your walk this morning will take you past Little Fish Point, Palmiet River and Rocky Point to arrive at your next destination. Your accommodation, on the beach, is rustic but clean and comfortable and this very different small settlement, from a previous era, will delight you. Day 4 This day is approximately 5 hours and will take hikers to Mgwalana River and another pleasant night spent in the comfort of a home on the beach and a hostess with a vast array of local stories. Day 5 This is a long day and the approximately 7 hours of walking will give you a chance to stretch your legs and walk off some of the many calories youhave been heaping on during the previous few days. Arrive at the Pelican Lodge on the banks of the Keiskamma River and if you have any energy left, board a boat for a cruise up this majestic river. After spending a very comfortable night you will be collected after breakfast back to your vehicles.
