Sunrise Hike - Harties River Trail

Sunrise Hike - Harties River Hiking Trail ☀️

True feeling of freedom, watching the sun rise from the Magalies Ridgeline is one of the most magical things.

Join us for a night of camping and a hike to see the sun rise from the top of the Maglies Mountains.

This special event will be hosted by AdventureGate at the famous - Harties River Hiking Trail.

We will be spending the night of the 9th of November at the famous Harties River Hiking Trail venue. On the banks of the crocodile river. Getting up on the 10th, real early, before the sun and the birds to take the hiking trail to the peak of the mountain.

Here we will brew some coffee and witness the spectacular sun rise over the river and Harbeespoort Dam from the peak of the mountains.

With a guide you will be guided to the best spot to see the sun rising.
