On the outskirts of Swellendam, you will find the Marloth Nature Reserve, which covers a part of the Langeberg Mountain area. There are beautiful walking trails and mountain bike trails in the Park. Take a short walk or experience a trail of several days. The Swellendam Walking Trail is 74 kilometres long. The Swellendam golfcourse is nested at the feet of the Langeberg mountains. The almost private golfcourse offers just 9 holes, but the also experienced golfer would like the course. A none-affilated fee of R 80 (2005), almost no waiting / reservation times makes the course very attractive. You can also explore the surroundings by canoe. There are canoe routes on the Breede River and the Buffeljags River, 9 km from Swellendam. There are several horse riding trails (short trails or trails for several days) through the beautiful surroundings of Swellendam. For non-experienced, as well as for professional horse riders.
