Walk The Way with us on the Hermanus Camino. An all-inclusive 70km slackpacking walk that takes place over 5 days and 5 nights in the Overberg region of the Western Cape, South Africa.

The Camino runs on the following basis:

The price is per person sharing, either find a friend to join you or pay the single supplement. A 30% single supplement applies if someone wants their own room or if a booking results in someone having their own room (eg: if booking for 3 people).

The maximum number of guests is 12 – if you want your own exclusive group, you need to book and pay for 12 people.

We reserve the right to cancel a Camino if less than 8 people have booked – payment will be fully refundable or transferable.

There are 3 Hermanus Caminos every week of the year, except for over the school holidays. The 1st Camino runs from a Sunday to a Friday, the 2nd from a Monday to a Saturday and the 3rd from a Tuesday to a Sunday.

All 3 Caminos are exactly the same. You can view availability via our booking platform. Click on the “Book Now” button to be directed to our calendar where you will see which weeks are available. The green blocks indicate the start date of your Camino.

The Hermanus Camino is to be enjoyed at your own pace. Please stop, pause, breathe, take photos and soak up the view. It is suitable for average fitness levels.
