Its 70km of rugged coastline and sheltered rock pools provide ideal swimming in addition to land based whale-viewing. And visitors can choose from a range of hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as guided interpretive fynbos and rock pool walk and birding excursions. The ReserveFew other reserves offer as complete an outdoor experience as De Hoop - sea, sand dunes, the vlei, a floral sensation of rare fynbos plants, diverse antelope and the Potberg Mountains. Birders observe wading birds on the shores of the vlei while the Potberg Mountains are home to a colony of endangered Cape vultures. Hikers and cyclists have close-up encounters with bontebok, Cape mountain zebra, eland, red hartebeest, baboons and ostrich. Activities are diverse and guests choose between various day walks, the multi-day Whale Trail, mountain biking along the many gravel roads, horse riding or scenic game drives. Lazing on the beach and snorkeling in the many turquoise rock pools is simply another way to pass a rewarding day. FloraThe reserve forms part of the world’s smallest and most threatened plant kingdoms and is home to rare species of lowland Cape Floral Kingdom fynbos. Of the estimated 1, 500 plant species, around 108 are rare or threatened, 34 occur only in De Hoop Nature Reserve and 14 were only recently discovered and remain to be documented. FaunaDe Hoop’s many terrestrial habitats also support a diversity of animal groups including 86 mammal species, most notably the rare bontebok and Cape mountain zebra, as well as eland, grey rhebuck, baboon, yellow mongoose, caracal and the occasional leopard. NotesWith its remote location, towering white dunes and pristine rock-pools on the shoreline offering a wonderland of tiny eco-systems, Koppie Alleen is the ideal getaway for families or small groups seeking a unique location.
