The Otter Hiking Trail

DAY 1 - NGUBU HUTS
Distance: 4.8 kilometers approx.
Av Hiking Time: 3.5 hours (must start before 14H00).
Highlights: Waterfall, rock pools.
Be prepared for: Rocky path.

The first day takes you from the Storms River reception to Ngubu huts. Note that the hike starts at the reception and not down at the coast as it used to be. It takes you through the shady forest down, steeply in places, to the coastal trail where some “rock hopping” is called for.

Be careful here because of the full packs and possible injury.

The trail takes you past a beautiful waterfall. (Storms River day hikers are permitted up to this point). After rains, this river becomes your first obstacle. The Ngubu huts are only a short distance further.
