Activities

Exploring the fare of the Whale Coast is a delectable delight. Marry the fine wines of the Hemel en Aarde Valley with the gastronomic basket of the Atlantic. Cape Rock lobster, oysters, calamari, prawns, mussels and many more of Neptune’s delicacies are to be found gracing the tables of the superb local restaurants. Tour the wineries of Hermanus, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek and taste the wines that adorn the finest tables in Europe, the America’s and the Far East. Personal tours by prior arrangement.

Get up close and personal with the Great White in Gansbaai, ride the white waters of the Palmiet River, test your 4x4 driving skills, hook the one that got away, or skydive in tandem. The Whale Coast has it all.

Play the fairways walked by some of the world’s finest golfers. Tee off at the Arabella Sheraton Golf Estate and thereafter rejuvenate your mind and body at their luxurious Wellness Spa. A golfer’s visit to the Cape would be incomplete without having played a round at Erinvale, hosts of the “96 World Cup of Golf” or 18 holes at the beautifully appointed Hermanus Golf Club. Professionally managed and facilitated tours to the Cape’s finest golf courses by prior arrangement.

 

Discovering the Kogelberg Biosphere, a recently proclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site is a hiker, mountain biker and casual walker’s delight; mountain trails, sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, rivers and forests. Track down the “wild horses” of the Bot River Estuary, visit the Jackass Penguin colony at Stony Point or explore nature’s true wonderland at the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens. Guided walks by prior arrangement.
