Description
This circular tour takes you over a mountain pass to the seaside town of Hermanus. This town, nestled between mountains and the sea, is very beautiful and offers some of the best shore-based whale watching opportunities in the world (August – November). Close sightings of the Southern Right whale are likely.
Our journey continues into the beautiful Hemel en Aarde Valley (Heaven and Earth) to the Bouchard Finlayson Wine Estate, where we are treated to a tasting of their delicious wines. This wine estate is closed on Sundays, but a visit to the Stony Point Penguin Colony will be included instead, to have a look at a unique colony of African penguins (time permitting) before returning to Cape Town in the afternoon.
