Plan your journey from George Airport

The moderate climate, beautiful beaches and diverse landscapes lend themselves to outdoor activities. Try your hand at diving, waterskiing, cycling, surfing or canoeing.
If you’re in search of a different kind of challenge, don’t miss the chance to explore the maze at Redberry Farm. Said to be the largest hedge maze in the southern hemisphere, it’s a fun way to spend an hour or two… depending on how good your sense of direction is. Aside from the maze, you can also take part in train rides, pony rides and strawberry picking.
If you want to understand more about South Africa’s dramatic history, a few hours at the George Museum on Courtenay Street is a must. Highlights include a recreation of a traditional woodcutter’s cottage and a collection of musical instruments, gramophones and phonographs.
The Garden Route Botanical Garden is another must-see and features a succulent rockery, welcome garden and pioneer forest. Other highlights include the tea garden and botanical library.
