About Gecko Travel & Tours

Gecko Travel & Tours is known for our reliability and outstanding personalised and informative service.

Sharon and Nelis Louw own and operate Gecko Travel & Tours. This family business runs from Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, where the Louw’s have lived for many years. Their extensive local knowledge means that they know exactly where to find the restaurants with the tastiest menus, where to buy great South African wines, which beaches are nature lovers’ favourites, where and when to spot whales, where to satisfy your craving for retail therapy with world-class shopping and, most importantly, where to find the best coffee!

The fully accredited and enthusiastic team of tour guides operate according to the Six P’s: they are prepared, punctual, polite, patient, professional and passionate. Sharon and her eager team believe in providing service and safety while making sure that everyone has fun. Flexibility and adaptability ensures that your tour suits your needs and includes the things that you and your family want to experience.

Gecko Travel & Tours supports and employs various eco-friendly and responsible tourism practices. We also support Arrive Alive, South Africa’s national road safety campaign. We are proud recipients of the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for Excellence 2015, 2016, 2016 2018, 2019 and are rated as “Excellent” by TripAdvisor travellers.
