Explore beautiful Cape Town, with so much to offer, including Penguin Beach, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Groot Constantia Wine Estate, Stellenbosch Winelands and Table Mountain with your hotel located in the heart of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

DAY 1

Upon arrival into Cape Town, you are met at the airport and transferred by private vehicle to your overnight hotel, located inside the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to so many restaurants, shops and plenty of entertainment – something for everyone including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa and more.

Check into your hotel on arrival (2:00pm) and spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure. Any meals are on your own today.

Should you have an early arriving flight, you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is ready for occupation upon arrival. Day rooms can only be purchased directly with the hotel.

DAY 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and embark on a full day discovery tour.

Start off with a scenic drive past the seaside suburbs of Camp’s Bay, Clifton and Llundudno and onto Hout Bay. Continue over scenic Chapma’s Peak, providing phenomenal photo opportunities. Then onto Boulders Beach to view the African Penguins in their natural habitat.

Thereafter, continue onto Groot Constantia Wine Estate. Groot Constantia wine farm is testimony of how one man’s love for wine established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685. In a word, their wines are from rich African soil, crafted to perfection. Furthermore, their heritage stands for growth, life and beauty.

During your visit to Groot Constantia, you may explore the original Cape Dutch Manor House; visit the famed Cloete Cellar (the birthplace of Grand Constance) for a self-guided tour and enjoy a wine and chocolate tasting experience. You will also take home a souvenir branded wine glass.

Enjoy a delicious three course lunch at Jonkershuis at Groot Constantia Wine Estate.

Thereafter, embark on a short transfer to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens – acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch, against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through these beautiful gardens. Consider a walk on and over the Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway - a new curved steel and timber bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum. Inspired by a snake skeleton, it is informally called ‘The Boomslang’ (meaning tree snake).

The Walkway takes you from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, Garden and Cape Flats.

Return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure. Dinner is on your own today.

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and embark on a full day Winelands discovery tour.

Take a scenic drive to JC Le Roux where the tasting room at the House of J.C. Le Roux offers a range of tastings and specially crafted parings for the most sophisticated of palates - both sweet and dry. Here you will enjoy a cheesecake and sparkling wine pairing.

Next, take a short drive to Muratie Wine Estate located on steep slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. Here time stands still, and centuries of fascinating stories live on. Immerse yourself in the tastes, the sights, the sounds and the warm welcome of a truly authentic Cape wine farm.

Located in the Knorhoek Valley north of Stellenbosch, Muratie dates back to 1685 when it was granted by Simon van der Stel, then Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, to German soldier Laurens Campher. Through the centuries Muratie, one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa, had several other colourful owners and is currently under the stewardship of the Melck family, who are deeply rooted here.

Their guiding philosophy is to preserve this rich history and cultural heritage and share it with wine lovers from around the world. Equally important, is to build a future legacy of dedication to excellence.

Here you will enjoy estate wines (a variety of white and red wine) followed by a delicious lunch.

Thereafter enjoy free time in the town of Stellenbosch, including an optional visit to Stellenbosch Museum (entry fee). The Stellenbosch Village Museum currently comprises of four houses of historical interest and their gardens.

Each of these beautiful homes represents a different period in the architectural development of Stellenbosch. The houses, their interiors and their gardens have been wonderfully restored, furnished, planted and decorated to illustrate the particular style and taste of the time.

Return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure. Dinner is on your own this evening.

DAY 4

Following breakfast and check-out formalities, depart the hotel for a drive up Kloof Nek, to the saddle between Table Mountain and Lion's Head, en-route to the Lower Cableway Station. Upon arrival at Lower Table Mountain Road, board a Swiss-engineered rotair cable car, and ascend from the 1,190-foot Valley Station to the 3,477-foot Mountain Station.

The journey from the base to the summit takes just under four minutes and offers spectacular views as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent. From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board.

This area is home to one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size; its impressive 2,285 plant species are greater in quantity than those of the entire U.K. combined.

Following your visit to Table Mountain, re-board your vehicle for a drive to the cruise terminal where you will embark the ship.

For nature-lovers looking to explore beautiful Cape Town in a more adventurous way, this program has been designed for you! Enjoy an invigorating hike up to the top of Cape Town’s landmark, Table Mountain; paddle with the penguins in Simon’s Town; and explore Cape Point Nature Reserve on foot plus enjoy a full day at leisure to explore on your own. Perhaps go shark cage diving in Gansbaai, take a 4x4 game drive in Aquila or even cycle through the Cape Winelands!

Due to the nature of this program, it is not available for guests who have mobility restrictions. Guests need to be able to hike distances with inclines and steps and manage a 2-person ocean kayak. Participants must be at least 12 years of age or more.

DAY 1

Upon arrival into Cape Town, you are met at the airport and transferred by private vehicle to your overnight hotel, located inside the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to so many restaurants, shops and plenty of entertainment. There really is something for everyone here including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa (Museum of Contemporary Art) and more.

Hotel check-in is at 2:00pm. Should you be arriving earlier, you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is available upon your arrival. Otherwise, luggage storage will be available at Reception until your room is ready.

The day is at your leisure with all meals on your own.

DAY 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your hiking guide in the lobby of your hotel take a short transfer to Table Mountain. After a safety briefing and donning your gear, the group will hike up the side of Table Mountain. The starting point of the hike depends on the weather and wind conditions on the day.

The Platteklip Gorge hike is the quickest, easiest and most direct route to the summit of Table Mountain and therefore also the most popular. The approximate 2-mile route follows a well-constructed trail up a deep ravine on the iconic front face of the mountain. The average time to complete the hike is approximately 2-2.5 hours but it depends on your starting point. It is a challenging hike that gets steeper the higher you go. Be prepared for steps, inclines, boulders and little to no shade. Technical skills are not required but this is not recommended for beginner hikers, and it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids along the way.

The lower section leads up beside a stream, reduced to a trickle in summer (November to February), but gushing in winter (June to August). Further up, the gorge narrows between imposing cliffs. The setting gets more dramatic as the sidewalls close in, almost converging at the top and barely allowing access to the summit through a two-meter-wide corridor. The route offers stunning city and harbor views, restricted in the upper section by the sidewalls. Vegetation is fynbos (endemic shrub) with a patch of indigenous Afro-montane forest about a quarter of the way up.

Once you’ve reached the top, take some time to appreciate the magnificent views, savor a cold beverage and then take the cable car down to where your vehicle and driver await your return. Note: There are restrooms at the cable car station.

Transfer to a local restaurant and enjoy a well-deserved lunch followed by free time on Camp’s Bay or Clifton Beach, before returning to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Note: Guests should wear good and comfortable hiking shoes or boots (non-slip, with grip and good ankle support), hat, sunscreen and bring a small backpack to carry water

DAY 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and depart for Simon’s Town where your ‘Penguin Paddle’ (kayaking) await you.

The African Penguin Colony at Boulders beach, Simonstown, is one of few land-based Penguin Colonies in South Africa where over 2500 birds are found.

Launch into the cool, clear, sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, feel the spray of the salt-water dripping off the end of your paddle as you paddle your way through the rocky pools and outcrops around Boulders Beach. As the sun warms your shoulders, penguins skim the water below you, diving and dancing in the waves. Using stable, easy to paddle, two-man kayaks, explore the crystal waterways of this fascinating Penguin colony with your kayaking guide.

Please note: Paddling with Penguins involves kayaking on the ocean. Simonstown is a windy area in summer. Paddling into the wind is physically demanding, therefore guests need to be in good physical condition.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in the area before moving to Cape Point Nature Reserve where you can visit both the spot where the two oceans meet and also take an optional walk up to the Cape Point Lighthouse for fantastic photo opportunities of the ocean and the cliffs.

Return to your hotel in the afternoon where a hospitality desk will be set up to help you plan your next day. There are plenty of options to sign up for (at own additional cost) and include but are not limited to Shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai, day safari’s, cycling in the Winelands and much more.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

Note: Guests should wear a bathing suit and cover up and shoes that can get wet (ideally not flip flops), also a hat and sunscreen. Bring a towel with and an extra set of clothing in case you get wet while on the kayaks.

DAY 4

After breakfast the day is at your leisure. Our hospitality desk team will be available again this morning to help you plan your day.

Alternatively, you may wish to simply enjoy a day at leisure perhaps making a visit to Zeits Mocaa (local art museum), having some retail therapy, hiring a bicycle for a leisurely ride in and around the waterfront and its adjoining areas, visiting the SA Museum or District Six Museum or enjoying high tea at the Mount Nelson to name a few. The choice is yours!

Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

DAY 5

This morning, perhaps consider a sunrise hike up Lions Head or a stroll along the Sea Point promenade with a freshly brewed cup of coffee before checking out and proceeding to the port where you will embark the ship.

However, each program varies, and participants should be prepared to negotiate a mixture of surfaces which may include inclines, cobblestones, sand, and gravel or natural paths. There may also be a need to climb steps or stairs on occasion. Guests who utilize a wheelchair and those with mobility concerns are advised to check with the cruise line in advance to see if any portion of the tour program may not be considered suitable for their individual situation. Weather appropriate clothing; hats; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are generally recommended.

Please note: All land programs are capacity controlled and subject to availability. Programs falling under the minimum number of required participants are subject to cancellation.
