Activities: |
For nature
lovers there are walks both on and around the farm that take
you through plantations, wetlands and fynbos to beautiful
viewpoints, with many birding opportunities en route. You
can also amble over to the dam and drop a fishing line in
the water in pursuit of bass, or take the rowboat out and
enjoy a round of sundowners. The more active can take to the
forest roads on mountain bikes and set about conquering the
surrounding terrain.
There is another option for exploring the area that does not
require either riding or walking - two characterful vehicles
are available to take you on picnics, sightseeing, or
sundowner outings - just discuss your desires with any
member of our friendly staff and we will strive to meet your
requirements.
Within easy driving distance of Forest Ferns is the
magnificent Tsitsikamma National Park which is well worth a
visit, as well as Storms River Village where you will find
the exciting treetop canopy tours, and the Bloukrans Rive
Bridge from which adrenalin seekers can throw themselves off
in a 214 metre bungee jump. |

The
Dolphin Trail: |
For those
hikers who know the rigours of the Otter Trail, and for
those who have never had the luck or the courage to hike it,
why not take a well earned break and come and enjoy the
unrivalled beauty and luxury of the Dolphin Trail? For two
magical days you can now hike the magnificent Tsitsikamma
Coast with no heavy backpack, and spend three nights in
comfort at different accommodation venues!
This unique trail has been made possible by the formation of
a partnership between the Tsitsikamma National Park and two
private sector partners, namely Forest Ferns and Misty
Mountain Reserve. The result is a hiking experience that
will both challenge and pamper you. The trail covers a
distance of 17 Km starting in the unrivalled beauty of the
Tsitsikamma National Park at Storms River Mouth, and winds
its way eastwards through natural fynbos and pristine
indigenous forest, over rugged rocks at the waters edge, to
end on the banks of the Sandrift River at The Fernery.
