ACTIVITIES

You can’t exactly go all the way to South Africa without sampling a glass (or 6) of the world renowned South African wine. So we’re sending you on, not one, but three wine tastings on the most prestigious and award-winning South African wine farms of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. You’ll experience stunning scenery, learn about different grape varieties and taste (most importantly) the regions delicacies, all accompanied by a cheese assortment and cellar tour, an exciting ride on the Franschhoek tram, and a visit to the Drankenstein Prison where Nelson Mandela spent the last part of his captivity.

Venture back down to the Cape Town coast where you’ll get the opportunity to ride a wave or two on a private surfing lesson – perfect to kick-start your pro surfing career (step aside Kelly).

After you arrive at the Grootbos Nature Reserve for the 2nd leg of your trip, you’ll get the chance to head off on a land-based whale watching excursion where you’ll spot Southern Right Whales as close as 30 metres from you, hop aboard a luxury catamaran for an exhilarating experience spotting sharks, penguins, dolphins, seals, and even more whales, and discover the many intricacies of fynbos on a 4x4 tour led by passionate guides. For the adrenaline junkies out there, you’ll also get the chance to get up close and personal with Great White Sharks as you go cage diving.
