For those that want some fresh air and light exercise, enjoy a 10km beach walk from Brenton on Sea to Buffalo Bay before carrying on with your travels.
After your country breakfast, we journey along Route 62 (longest wine route in the world) through the Klein Karoo and in a secluded valley, which was once a lake, we’ll discover Calitzdorp, South Africa’s port wine capital. Port can be a bit of an acquired taste due to its strength and sweetness, but that’s a journey we are happy to help you start on.
We travel through the small artists town of Barrydale at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains then cut through them on the Tradauw Pass where you will notice the scenery starts to change dramatically. It’s often said that South Africa has one of the most varied landscapes of any country, and there’s nowhere better to see this than on the drive from the semi-arid desert like Klein Karoo back down to the coast.
Our final destination today is the seaside village of Arniston. You can either enjoy dinner at the hotel overlooking the Indian Ocean or maybe take a short meander into the historic fishing village of Kasiesbaai where you are invited to take part in a traditional evening meal by candlelight in one of the fishermen’s houses. The meals are prepared by the fishermen’s wives, a rather authentic experience.

Enjoy a Meerkat Safari (own account, weather depending and if you can wake up early enough) where you will head into the veld and await the cute Meerkats as they slowly come out of their burrow to start their day.
OR ...
We head over the Robinson Pass to Mossel Bay for White Shark Diving in Mossel Bay with White Shark Africa and then proceed down the N2 towards Arniston.
Today we visit the rugged, windswept beauty of the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas. A place where the warm Indian Ocean meets the cool Atlantic, the Cape of Storms has caused many an ancient mariners to brave its waters and wreck their ships in the name of exploration and adventure.
The Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum is well worth a visit to read up on the rich local Maritime history and we can also enjoy some wine tasting on the Elim Wine Route.
The Arniston harbour is where you can watch the fishing boats come in is located right in front of the hotel. Next to the harbour you will find the historical fishing village of Kassiesbaai, which welcomes strollers and photographers.

Enjoy a morning stroll to the Waenhuiskrans, the other name for the town and that of a cave only accessible on the low tide which asccording to local legend is large enough to store an oxwagon. A little further along the white sandy beach is the point where you can view ancient fish traps used the the bushmen for hundreds of years.
The combination of shallow, clear, warm water and numerous fantastic vantage points makes Arniston one of the best land-based whale-watching destinations in the world. You may very well see a Southern Right Whale and her calf bask and frolic in the crystalline turquoise waters of the Mozambique current mere metres from the coastline.
We continue our journey to the scenic coastal town of Hermanus, renowned for its whale watching, a place where Southern Right whales return annually during the winter and early spring months (July to November).
Spend a full day in Hermanus walking the cliff paths viewing whales, maybe joining a boat based whale watching trip in Walker Bay (your guide can arrange) and there is also the Hemel-en-Aarde valley behind the town for some great wine tasting and picturesque lunch venues like Creation, Newton Johnsons and La Vierge estates to name a few.
Continue our sweeping coastal route along Clarens Drive overlooking False Bay with its panoramic views of Cape Point and Table Mountain, before arriving back to the mother city of Cape Town.
Free day to be spent at leisure or exploring the V&A Waterfront and Mother City on your own.
