What to expect
Betty's Bay
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 at the of 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.
Hamilton Russell Vineyards
It would be an injustice to drive through one of the best wine regions in the country and not stop. The Hemel n Aarde (wine region is both close to the sea and at a higher altitude than the Cape Winelands. This is the perfect climate for the cool-climate grape variety. This means wines that are subtle, crisp acidity, a lighter body, and bright fruit flavours. The valley is able to produce some of the best pinot noirs and Chardonnay wines in the country. Your wine tasting experience at Hamilton Russell will not disappoint.
Hermanus
After the wine tasting experience, the tour will continue towards Hermanus. A quaint coastal town which is also 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 of South Africa's gastronomy towns and you will be able to have lunch here before the tour continues South east towards Elim.
Elim
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.
Cape Agulhas - Southernmost Tip of Africa
3 hours Southeast of Cape town City is the most Southern tip of the African continent: Cape Agulhas. It's here that the warm Indian Ocean collides with the icy Atlantic. The rugged coastline hosts over 21 000 wetland and seabirds of different types. The Serengeti of the seas, named because of its diverse marine life, is also a part of the Cape floral kingdom. The richest floral kingdom in the world! About 2000 different plant species are resident in this area and with over 100 being endemic. 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.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
