Overview

This circular tour takes you over a mountain pass to the seaside town of Hermanus. This town, nestled between mountains and the sea is not only very beautiful but offers some of the best shore-based whale watching opportunities in the world (July – November). Close sightings of the Southern Right whale are likely. En route we are treated to a delicious wine tasting at a family-owned wine estate. On a Sunday, a visit to the Stony Point Penguin Colony will be included instead of a wine tasting, to have a look at a unique colony of African penguins (time permitting) before returning to Cape Town in the afternoon.
