Hogsback Adventures

The one and only way to experience Hogsback - Bicycle Rental, Abseiling and Archery. Mountain Biking: Our scenic bike route takes you past numerous waterfalls to hidden viewpoints off the beaten track. Take in the breathtaking scenery and enjoy a refreshing swim in the rock pools. Picnic at Robinson Dam and meander through pine plantations along the old jeep tracks. Abseiling: Abseil down a 35m waterfall into the indigenous forests below - an exhilarating alternative to reaching the bottom of the famous Madonna & Child Waterfall. Archery: Looking for something safe, easy and fun for the whole family, then try your hand at the age old tradition of Archery.

Hogsback Arboretum

Reviewed By amourv2017 - Darling, South Africa

The Hogsback Arboretum is absolutely beautiful. Many of the plants were in flower when we visited in early October. It is peaceful, safe to visit and full of bird life. We went several times as it was not possible to take it all in with one visit. It is a must visit for anyone going to Hogsback. A walk in the forest will provide the opportunity to see some of our oldest indigenous trees and you can add a number of forest birds to your life list, including the endangered Cape parrot.

Reviewed By GeneBrand

wickedly delicious! the salted caramel is to die for! I also loved the cappucino - actually every one I tasted was so yummy I couldn't stop eating! Only pity was I had to share my box with my hubby! Unfortunately haven't visited the shop - was given a box of chocolates as a gift from my kids who visited Hogsback last weekend.

Went during the rainy season to see the waterfall in full swing! Was an extremely easy walk that anyone can do and definitely a must as the waterfall is in a beautiful garden!
