If your time in the area is short, take in a short day route. If you have a few days, consider a multi-day hike. You can carry your own backpack or opt for the gentler slackpacking option by having your luggage sent ahead.
Your visit to Hermanus will not be complete without a hike to immerse you in the spectacular beauty of the area.
