Overview

Join me atop the ancient cliffs and embark on a 2 hour sensory voyage along the cliffs of Hermanus and hear the stories of how man came to live and thrive here, from stone age (cradle of consciousness) through the colonial times to modern day living. Trace the footsteps of early minds—where art, language, and medicine were born—and feel the echoes of the past come alive.
