Shore Excursion - Discover the Forests

The local forests are a must for the keen Nature & Bird Lover. Leaving Mossel Bay city behind us taking and drive along the coast then into local forests, a magnificent area of the Wilderness offering views of the Wilderness coast and forested region. Driving through the Wilderness, to Hoekwil we reach the Woodville Forest, taking a gentle walk through the forest with your guide who shares passion of the region, fauna and flora. These forests are known for the 'giants', our Outeniqua Yellow Wood Trees which tower above the forests. A large variety of bird life play and call as we pass through their forest home. Often one can find the Knysna Turaco following the walk above in the canopy of the trees. Time for a picnic after the walk.
