Why go

Betty’s Bay brings coastal fynbos, mountain scenery and river gorges together in one garden visit. Choose a marked garden path or a waterfall and gorge walk that suits the day’s conditions. The change from planted paths to gorge scenery gives a visit more range than a brief stop at a single garden viewpoint.

What to look for

  • Betty’s Bay coastal fynbos
  • River gorge and waterfall walks

Useful to know

  • Choose a marked garden or gorge walk suited to the day.
  • Use the garden paths if a gorge or waterfall walk does not suit the day.
