About Kosi Bay Trail
Whilst there is a Kosi Bay Trail that takes roughly four days to complete, which can also be done as a slackpacker version, there are variations and flexible trails, depending on your level of fitness.
The old trail, remembered by seasoned hikers with nostalgia, unfortunately fell into disrepair. But it is possible to do the same trail again, just the accommodation has changed.
On average, if you do the trail in its entirety, you'll walk for three to four hours a day. And if you're up to it, you can add canoeing and horse riding, a turtle tour or a boat cruise to your itinerary.
You will also be exposed to some of the most incredibly diverse and beautiful scenery - deserted beaches, dune forest, open savannah and wetlands, and the sighting of loggerhead turtles make this an incredible hiking experience.
