George Adventures, Activities, and Experiences
Perched below the scenic Outeniqua Pass, George is no longer just a sleepy beach-and-golf town — it’s the vibrant commercial heart of the Garden Route and the Western Cape’s second-largest hub. While the town’s Victorian charm remains intact, George has evolved into a dynamic base for exploring one of South Africa’s most stunning regions.

Adventurers can also venture further afield to nearby Oudtshoorn for ostrich farms, Cango Caves, and desert landscapes, making George the perfect “one-stop” hub for your Garden Route explorations.
Complementing its adventure appeal, George Airport — Africa’s first solar-powered airport — connects you effortlessly to major South African cities, ensuring that your Garden Route adventure begins and ends with ease.
Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or simply soaking in nature’s grandeur, George offers a rich blend of experiences that make it a must-visit destination on the Garden Route.
