After arrival at Cape Town airport you will be met by an African Eagle. The driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall to welcome you, holding a board displaying ‘Cristal Seas Group’. Should the representative not make contact with you at the allocated time, please contact the front desk or African Eagle on 021 464 4266. The driver will take you to your hotel La Splendida, where you will stay for 3 nights in 7 Mountain-facing rooms. Once you have settled in you will be picked-up again by an African Eagle guide and go on your afternoon city tour. Pick-up time will be 13.55, please wait for your driver in the hotel lobby. Please note that tickets for the cable car are not included and have to be purchased at the cable car station directly - this is to avid difficult refund procedures in case the weather will not permit the cable car ride. In this case you will be taken to a view point from where you can have a view of the mountain, rather than from the mountain.
Very early in the morning you will be picked-up from the La Splendida lobby and taken to Gansbaai, from where you will go shark cage diving. After the dive you will be taken back to La Splendida. The exact pick-up time will be announced the day before only. The operator will call La Splendida and they will let you know about the pick-up time. This has been booked through African Eagle again.
Those who won't join the shark cage dive will be picked up by an African Eagle guide at La Splendida at 8.00am and go on a Cape Town (different sites to what you will have seen on the afternoon city tour on day one) and Wineland tour. Please wait for the guide in the lobby.
Those who will go on the cape fur seal dive will be picked up at 7.30am from the hotel and taken to Simonstown from where you will start the dive. This activity has been booked through Pisces Divers.
In the afternoon, Lisa Atkins will be picked-up from the La Splendida lobby at 13.00pm by an African eagle guide and then join with the rest of the group in Simonstown to start the afternoon Cape Peninsular tour together from there. The plan is to start the tour at 14.00 from Pisces dive shop, where the guide will arrive with Lisa Atkins.
At 6.00am you will be picked-up by anther African Eagle transfer at La Splendida and taken back to the airport for your 8.50am flight to Durban with Mango Airlines. In Durban you will be picked-up by our driver Scelo, who will meet you with a sign at the airport to take you straight to the Mozambique border in order to get to Mozambique before 17.00. On the other side you will be met by another transfer company who will take you to Coco Rico or to the dive shop to drop your dive gear – we will get this information later, once the dive centre has decided on the exact dive time for the next day - where you will stay for the next 5 nights in 3 duplex chalets.
