Betty's Bay
Nestled an hour east of Cape Town, Betty's Bay is a charming coastal town with a fascinating history and unique wildlife. Once a whaling station in the late 1800s, it has since become famous for its extraordinary residents: the African penguins! These adorable creatures made Stoney Point Beach their home by the end of the 20th century, transforming it into one of only two mainland penguin colonies in the world. Visitors can stroll along the beach, enjoying up-close encounters with these delightful penguins in their natural habitat. It's a must-see for wildlife lovers and anyone looking to experience the beauty of South Africa's coastline!
Hamilton Russell Vineyards
Driving through one of South Africa’s top wine regions without stopping would be a real missed chance. The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, nestled between the coast and higher altitudes, provides an ideal climate for cool-climate grape varieties. This means the wines here are known for their delicate flavors, crisp acidity, lighter body, and bright fruit profiles. The valley is particularly renowned for producing exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, some of the best in the country. A wine tasting at Hamilton Russell is sure to be a memorable experience, showcasing the region’s true excellence.
Hermanus
Hermanus is a picturesque coastal town famous for its stunning scenery, charming atmosphere, and incredible whale watching. Nestled between dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches, it offers breathtaking views of the ocean and the surrounding mountains. From June to December, you can catch sight of southern right whales right from the shoreline. With a vibrant arts scene, delicious seafood, and plenty of outdoor adventures, Hermanus is the perfect getaway for nature lovers and those looking to relax in a stunning setting. You will be able to have lunch here before the tour continues South east towards Elim.
