DATES:
Only selected dates are available to hike the Alikreukel Trail (please see the list lower down).
We have selected the optimum spring tide dates for walking the trail. This is to make the best use of what the coast offers – in tidal rock pools, seeing the fish traps and appreciating the coastal ecology, as well as limiting soft sand walking.
Note: Hikers must arrive the afternoon before the hike starts and will be accommodated in Jongensfontein in private holiday houses. Dinner included.
The trail is closed During the December holiday season, until mid-February.
