Itinerary
Stop At: Betty's Bay, Overberg District, Western Cape
Betty's Bay is a coastal town an hour east of Cape Town. It was a whaling station in the late 1800s. Later it became better known for its unusual resident: the African penguin! The penguins settled at Stoney Point beach in the 20th century. This made Stoney point one of 2 mainland penguin colonies. Guests will have some time to walk along the penguin beach and see the penguins up close.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Hamilton Russell Vineyards, Hemel-En-Aarde Valley
Drive through the best wine regions in the country. The Hemel-en-Aarde wine region is both close to the sea and at a higher altitude than the Cape Winelands. This means subtle wines with crisp acidity, a lighter body, and bright fruit flavours. The valley can produce some of the country's best pinot noirs and Chardonnay wines. Your wine-tasting experience at Hamilton Russell will not disappoint.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Hermanus, Overberg District
The tour will continue towards Hermanus. A quaint coastal town which is South Africa's whale-watching capital city. Whales can be spotted here from the whale trail along the shores between the months of June and November every year. Hermanus is also known to be one of South Africa's gastronomy towns and you will be able to have lunch here before the tour continues Southeast towards Elim.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Elim, Malagas
From Cape Agulhas, our journey will take us through a picturesque village called Elim. Elim was established in 1824 by German settlers. It was the 3rd Moravian station near Cape Town and very little has changed over the years. Rows of whitewashed, thatch-roofed cottages line the streets of this charming village. And all the fig tree-lined streets lead to the church! Guests will have time to walk around and visit the town's small rose garden.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Cape Agulhas – the Southernmost Tip of Africa, South Africa
It is here that the warm Indian Ocean collides with the icy Atlantic. The rugged coastline hosts over 21 000 wetlands and seabirds of diverse types: "The Serengeti of the Seas!" While we are here, you will have ample time to explore the coastal plains. You can also visit the Cape Agulhas lighthouse; the second oldest in South Africa. A walk up to the summit of the lighthouse provides one with a bird's eye view of the town and the museum at the bottom.
Duration: 2 hours
