• Full Day Tour of Cape Point.

We flank the cold Atlantic Ocean en route to Hout Bay. Once a fishing community, now one of the most popular residential areas, the harbour still has a charm of days gone by. Enjoy a half-hour cruise to "Seal Island" or for the not so adventurous, the fish market "Mariners Wharf" is a must. We make our way south, following the Atlantic Ocean and then stop for a lobster and prawn lunch at a local restaurant. Our choice for the day is the Black Marlin restaurant (not included in the rate – own account), known for its seafood. We now continue alongside the Indian Ocean, and stop to see the Jackass penguin colony, which has become well established, at Boulders beach near Simonstown. Then we travel onwards until we reach Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Said to be the romantic meeting place of the two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian, Sir Francis Drake the Explorer once called it "the fairest Cape that we saw in the whole circumference of the Globe". And rightly so, it must be the highlight of any visit to the Mother City, if not South Africa. Our last stop of the day is at the Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, home of some 3 500 species of Southern African fauna and flora.

• We wave good bye to Cape Town and start our tour of the Garden Route… A taste of Eden. A corner of Africa so magical in its diversity that it’s known as Nature’s Garden. Unlock the secrets of Golden Beaches, inland lakes and brooding forests, then meander over the imposing Outeniqua Mountains into the ‘big sky’ vistas of the Klein Karoo and the magnificent Swartberg Mountains. Experience the infectious friendly nature of our people.

• The Portuguese explorer Bartholomeus Diaz was the first European to land at Mossel Bay in 1488. However, he was not received well by the Hottentots who lived there and he had to sail on without having been able to replenish his provisions, as he would have hoped for. A few years later, in 1497, Vasco da Gama found much better conditions. Following his successful landing, the place became an important port of call for many Portuguese ships to fill up their fresh water and stock up their provisions. The sailors even developed a working communication system: There was a boot hanging in an old milkwood tree, in which the sailors deposited messages for other ships. A stone shoe above the beach of Mossel Bay still reminds of this "Post-Office-Tree". In the Diaz Museum one can see the replica of a sailing ship which Diaz used on his journey in 1488. The caravelle was built in Portugal and sailed in 1988, at the 500th birthday of the seafarer, to Mossel Bay.
