This trip starts off with a tour of Cape Town, Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula, including the penguin colony at Boulder’s Bay and the south-westernmost tip of Africa. Next head to the Cape Winelands, a region of award-winning wines, magnificent wine farms, scenic splendor, historic towns and authentic Cape Dutch architecture. Finally, take in the southern right whales in the quaint town of Hermanus.

The Cape Winelands is a region of award-winning wines, magnificent wine farms, scenic splendor, historic towns and authentic Cape Dutch architecture. It also has an impressive selection of top of the line restaurants and is aptly known as the culinary capital of South Africa. There is far more to the Cape Winelands than exquisite food and wine, however – check out art galleries, amphitheatres, the lion park, nature and game reserves, shops, and spa and wellness centers, and try a cheetah outreach program that allows you to interact with the fastest big cats, great golf courses, horse-and-carriage rides through the vineyards, picnics alongside a a dam as ducks and swans float by gracefully– the list is endless.

Travel from the winelands to Hermanus, the town which has the status of being the best land-based whale watching destination in the world. It’s home to the world’s only whale crier, who blows his kelp horn whenever he spots whales along the central sea route. It is possible to see Southern Right from aboard a boat, a helicopter or the shore. As if that’s not enough, you can also book kayaking trips on the sea or lagoon as well as shark cage diving packages, a sure-fire adrenaline fix for adventure lovers, and nearby Fernkloof Nature Reserve offers a range of spectacular walks among the fynbos. Whether you choose to spend a day on one of the spectacular beaches or playing a round of golf, Hermanus has something for everyone.
