Cape Agulhas - Southernmost Tip of Africa

At Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, visitors will experience rugged coastal beauty where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. They’ll see dramatic rocky shores, a historic red-and-white lighthouse (the second oldest in South Africa), and a symbolic plaque marking the continent’s tip. The air is fresh with ocean breezes, and the waves crash powerfully against the rocks. Nature lovers can enjoy scenic walks, unique fynbos vegetation, and possibly spot whales offshore in season. It’s a place of natural wonder and symbolic geographic significance.

At Southern Right Charters in Hermanus, visitors experience an exciting and educational whale watching tour in the scenic Walker Bay.

You may also spot humpback whales, dolphins, Cape fur seals, and a variety of seabirds.

At Stony Point Penguin Colony in Betty's Bay, South Africa, visitors can observe a thriving colony of endangered African penguins in their natural habitat.
