Day to day itinerary
Cape of Good Hope
Depart the hotel (we collect your from your hotel) and enjoy the scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean en route to Hout Bay. Once a fishing community, now a popular residential area, the harbour still has a charm of days gone by.
The tour continues over the famous Chapman’s Peak drive – if open, with a 200 meter drop on one side of the coach and a 200 meter rise on the other, as we make our way south, following the Atlantic Ocean until we reach Cape Point.
Cape Point
Said to be the romantic meeting place of the two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian, Sir Francis Drake the Explorer once called it “the fairest Cape that we saw in the whole circumference of the Globe”. And rightly so, it must be the highlight of any visit to the Mother City, if not South Africa.
Penguin Colony
We pass the naval base of Simon’s Town as we continue along the Indian Ocean, en route to see the Jackass Penguin Colony which has become well established at Boulders Beach.
Stellenbosch
Experience a wine tasting, cellar tour and cheese tasting at the magnificent Anura Wine estate (alternative estate used on Sundays and during harvesting).
The tour continues to the historic town of Stellenbosch with its picturesque white gabled Cape Dutch architecture. The pretty streets and quaint lanes are lined with old oak trees. The town boasts a large university with energetic students offering a contrast to the old-world feel of the town.
If time permits our guide will choose a second estate for another wine tasting before heading back to your hotel.
