Come face to face with a myriad of wildlife, flora and fauna during a 4x4 game drive in Sanbona Nature Reserve. Visit a working ostrich farm, explore the Cango Caves and board a ferry cruise in Knysna lagoon for lunch and scenic views. This option is perfect for those who have done a safari before, for those who don’t want to fly during their program and for those who are lovers of all things nature.

There are five freshwater rivers flowing in from the surrounding Outeniqua Mountains meeting with the surge of sea water from the Indian Ocean through the mighty headlands known as the Knysna Heads.

On arrival, embark on a double-decker boat lunch cruise on the Knysna lagoon (not private). Some of the bird species that may be spotted around the lagoon include sandpipers, stilts, herons, the malachite and pied kingfishers, black oyster catcher, African fish eagle, Knysna woodpecker, and Knysna warbler. Dolphins may also be seen exploring the warm waters here at any time.

Following the cruise, transfer to your next overnight hotel for dinner and the evening at leisure. The 5-star Turbine Boutique Hotel and Spa was an ambitious project which transformed an old power station into a unique hotel. All the old machinery which was used in this power station has been restored and forms an integral part of the hotel’s aesthetics. Enjoy its fascinating history as you walk past massive turbines on the balcony and marvel at the intriguing steel pillars and pipes that now form part of the hotel’s quirky décor.

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.

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

Disembark the ship in Cape Town. You will be met and transferred to your 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. Since you will be arriving earlier, you may store your luggage storage 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

After breakfast and check-out, you will be taken to the Cape Town International Airport by private transfer. Transfer times will be set up according to the flight details received.
