Gecko Rock Eco Adventure 4×4 Trails, Touws River
Depending on your experience, you can choose the hand-built, grade-four trail or the more scenic grade-two drive, which is suitable for 4x2s. Ideally you should try both.
A qualified guide leads groups. If you want to do the tougher nine-kilometre route, you’ll have to demonstrate your abilities at the test terrain beforehand.
Vehicles must have good ground clearance, low-range and a diff lock is recommended.
The 12-kilometre one-hour trail is great for novice drivers and there’s a training course for 4×4 drivers.
Getting there: From Touws River, pass the Bloutoring tumoff and continue for 25 kilometres. Tum left at the Gecko Rock sign.
Where to stay: There are two campsites from R65 a person a night. The selfcatering cottage (sleeps two to four) is R275 for two (R50 for each extra person, max four).
