Luphuthana excursion
When being out on the ocean is not a possibility on the day but the weather is clear, a trip to Luphuthana is a must do.
Just getting there is an adventure in itself.
Approximately 1.5 hours drive from Port St John’s and the drive is absolutely worth it and more.
Spectacular scenery as one bypasses Magwa Tea Plantation and as one heads down towards the sea, the magic starts………..
Getting there by 4 x 4 is preferrable as one never knows what the rain may have done to the road, which is gravel.
Luphuthana in all it’s glory………………..one can start the Water Fall Bluff hike from here at Drifters Camp or simply hang out here and enjoy the waves smashing up against the rocks. Little rock pools are all over the place and there are shady spots to relax and picnic underneath.
The Waterfall Bluff hike is not a difficult hike to do from here and from a time frame perspective, easy to do and then head back for lunch or a late afternoon snack.
One needs to find out from the locals which path to take to head to Waterfall Bluff as there are a few.
The scenery northwards towards Grosvenor is also spectacular.
For those that love hiking, scenery, nature, or just chilling, Luphuthana is the place to be.
It is like you are in another world…….truly beautiful, quiet and paradise to visit.
