Herolds Bay to Maalgate is a 8,5km out&back hike with beautiful views over the ocean. Well pause at the well known Voëlklip lookout, because of its rugged beauty — cliffs dropping into the ocean, stunning views, fynbos flora, and rocky shoreline — Voëlklip has long been a draw for locals and visitors who enjoy hiking, fishing, sightseeing, or just a quiet moment by the sea. From there we proceed down to the Maalgate river, which is another local fishing spot, to enjoy a well deserved break and picnic!It's quite a steep climb back to the parking area from the fishing spot with a total of approx 235m elevation.
From there we return back via the same route to our vehicles.
