Powervan Mossel Bay

All aboard the Powervan Mossel Bay, formerly the Diaz Express — a relaxed rail adventure for the whole family. Running along the scenic Garden Route between George and Mossel Bay, this journey offers beautiful coastal views, river crossings, and glimpses of the Indian Ocean.

Departing mainly from Hartenbos, the route includes stops at charming destinations like Great Brak River, Glentana, and Maalgate. Enjoy a coffee and art at Seeplaas, or a meal with a view at Opispoor Pub & Grill.

Sit back and take in the ocean views, local wildlife, and the natural beauty of the Cape Floral Kingdom — a truly unique Garden Route experience.
