At the nearby Marloth Nature Reserve one may enjoy activities such as walking, climbing and horse riding.
Boat trips can be arranged on the Breede River as well as on the Buffeljachts Dam where there is a 'fuffi-slide' some 40 metres high and 200 metres long.

The Bontebok National Park is across the national road, south of Swellendam approximately 6 kilometres from the town.
On a day trip to Witsand during the months May to November the visitor is bound to experience the thrill of seeing whales at play in St. Sebastian Bay where large numbers of the Southern Right Whale come to calve each year.

The only way to cross the Breede River at Malagas, is by way of the only manually operated pontoon (ferry) in South Africa.
Other day trips could take the visitor to Ostrich Farms at Witsand; or a beautiful trip through the wine farms of Bonnievale, Robertson and Montagu, On a separate day trip to Montagu experience an exciting tractor ride onto the mountain top; then enjoy a traditional 'potjiekos' meal afterwards. Or take a drive through the Tradouw Pass to Barrydale and the famous Route R62.

Top it all by taking a light aircraft trip over the whole area!
