Stop at Dolphin Point and gaze far out to sea

Wilderness, South Africa

Small stop, big view: at Dolphin Point Lookout the Garden Route opens up in all its vastness – complete with dolphins and coastline.

What you can experience here

Between George and Wilderness, right on the N2, a wide view opens up over the coast, cliffs and the Indian Ocean – Dolphin Point Lookout is an ideal place for a short break with a big sense of space. From here you can see the golden beach at Wilderness, the mouth of the Kaaimans River and the old railway bridge where the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe once used to steam across.

A paved path leads you in just a few steps to various viewpoints. The coast drops steeply away and your gaze reaches endlessly far. With a bit of luck you might see dolphins jumping in the waves or an African fish eagle circling over the river. In the early morning or late afternoon the light is especially beautiful – perfect for photos or simply for gazing in wonder.

The viewpoint lies directly on the road, so it is ideal as a short stop on your way along the Garden Route. No big effort, but a real change of perspective – from here you can see how big and beautiful the journey ahead can still become.
