Highlights

Hermanus is globally recognized as one of the best whale watching destinations on Earth, where Southern Right Whales come so close to shore they can be watched from the cliffs. This tour puts that experience front and center, then adds a relaxed, flexible finish — an optional wine tasting at Benguela Cove, one of the Cape's stunning wine estates, set right on the water. It's designed to suit everyone: adventure-seekers get their whale watching, wine lovers get a scenic tasting experience, and those wanting a shorter day can head straight back. No rigid schedule, no filler stops — just the best of the Whale Coast, tailored to what your group wants.

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
