    Oysters on the rocks
  • Tip Rating:
  • About 20 mins. west of George, are two little places called Tergniet and Reebok. At spring low tide, the rock shelves are a wonderful place to shell oysters, and have them fresh on the rocks with some lemon, pepper & a nice bottle of champagne.

    Try not to net the wildlife in the picture though!

    Outeniqua Choo Choo
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Outeniqua Choo Choo is a steam train service that runs between the towns of George and Knysna. There are in fact two trains departing from both ends simultaneously for most of the year. The trains pass one another along the route where there is a second section of tracks.
    The journey, lasting about 2 hours will take you through some spectacular Garden Route countryside.
