The views and feel in Echo Valley are always a treat, part of the hike is up a boardwalk in a forest towards the popular amphitheater. Thereafter, we’ll summit Kalk Bay Peak to take in an abundance of 360 degree views.

This hike is one of the most beautiful multiday hikes in the world and an outdoor lovers dream. It allows you to pass through the Wolfberg Cracks - narrow faucets leading to a different planet. You'll feel like a spec between those massive cracks once you squeeze your way through the tight space.
The rock formations throughout the entire route are actually mind blowing but it starts to get really exiting once you see the actual Wolfberg Arch and realize thats where you'll be spending night. You'll marvel at this Arch in all it's glory while you're there.

One of the craziest things about this mesmerizing rock arch is that you will experience the sunset and sunrise which is rare for most multiday hikes in our region.

Please understand, this is probably one of the most uncomfortable things you could do but there is an unsual beauty about taking on an adventure like this, it could be the most fulfilling. Most people only do a single day hike and cannot take in the full experience of being present there for an extended period. This is why its better to go all out and get the full experience.

The Secret Waterfall Hike is amongst the most adventurous hikes you can get out of a single day.

It starts off as a “normal hike” following a trail with short inclines, declines and a few scrambles. The route is about 10 km to the waterfall and back, however, you’ll be required to stretch to get up, over and around the rock formations in the gorge while it becomes more and more beautiful leading up to the waterfall – this is where it starts getting really exciting!

The Waterfall is approximately 40 metres of sheer drop (if not more) and a truly spectacular one indeed. The sun rays never reached this 20 metre square oasis which gives it a really dark mossy green moist look partnered up with the smoothest wet natural looking mountain walls you’ll probably ever see, this of course makes for a fresh Icy Rockpool, as cold as it is. We’ve only seen smiles come from attendees after their swim.

We cannot do it justice by trying to explain and most people don’t even know it exists. You’ll be part of a select group of people in the world that would have experienced this kind of adventure tour. It isn’t however the easiest hike, so be advised that it gets technical at times. Rather enquire if you’re unsure instead of assuming.

Duration : 6-7 hours complete depending on group progression
Meet up Location : just outside of Paarl (close to Huguenot Tunnel)

What’s included : Experienced Mountain Guide, First Aider, safety in numbers, permit, social gain, freshly brewed coffee or tea
