Tour Details


Day 1:

On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, guests will be met by a representative and transferred to The Table Bay hotel situated at the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The hotel is an architectural masterpiece and is in perfect harmony with the backdrop of Table Mountain, the historic working harbour and the yacht bay.
Day 2:

Morning at leisure to explore the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and possibly take a trip out to Robben Island (Subject to weather conditions and not Included) For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, 12 kilometers from Cape Town, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here that rulers sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society. During the apartheid years Robben Island became internationally known for its institutional brutality. The duty of those who ran the Island and its prison was to isolate opponents of apartheid and to crush their morale. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs. In the early afternoon, guests will be met by a representative and transferred to the Table Mountain Cableway (weather permitting). Explore Cape Town’s most famous landmark on the Table Mountain Cableway. Take in the spectacular setting of Cape Town, the majestic mountain range of Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, while traveling up the mountain.
Day 3:

Make a day tour over the Peninsula to Cape Point. This awe-inspiring tour takes you to the most Southern point of Africa. Travel through Sea Point, Clifton, and Camps Bay stopping at a lookout point in Llandudno and on to Hout Bay. Continue on through Constantia Nek and Ou Kaapse weg, arriving in Cape Point and the Good Hope Nature Reserve for lunch. The South Peninsula is an area of natural beauty, diverse cultures and unique attractions; it encompasses the splendor of the Atlantic Ocean, the inviting waters of the False Bay Coastline and breathtaking scenic drives. After a delicious lunch, follows a visit to Simon's Town, Boulders Beach and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
Day 4:

Visit the Cape Winelands area for a full day of wine tastings and cellar tours. This delightful drive winds its way to the heart of the Cape Winelands, through superb mountain ranges, vineyards and Cape Dutch homesteads. Spend some time at leisure in the heart of Stellenbosch before a wine & chocolate tasting at the Waterford Estate.
