Featured: Paragliding in Wilderness
Go paragliding. Tandem flying is fun and easy – experienced flight instructors assist you through this unforgettable experience.

Featured: Horse riding in Wilderness
Guided horse trail riding will take you through Indigenous forest, mountain trails and rockpools with occasional wildlife sightings. Beginner to advanced riders are welcome.
Featured: Surfing at Victoria Bay in George
And if you a very brave. And we mean brave. Book a few lessons and learn to surf. George is famous for its right-hand break at Vic Bay and there are few things more thrilling than speeding through the waves. And our sea water is much, much warmer than Cape Town. We’re fortunate to have the Indian Ocean on our shores.
VIBEY PLACES TO HANG OUT
George isn’t known for its night life but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have trendy places for young people to hang out at. Make sure to breakfast under the bohemian umbrellas at the Pottery, grab a beer and burger at the Bench, eat pizza and mingle at Cactus and visit the Bling Pig and Bootlegger Brewery in Wilderness. There is also a chilled Friday night market at the Milkwood Village.
