Distance
123 km (76 mi)

Itinerary
8 am to 4 pm
Guests are met at any location of their choice in Cape Town, from where the tour goes to Hermanus. It travels through the towns of Rooi Els and Betty's Bay and follows one of the most scenic coastal routes in South Africa. Several stops are made at various vantage points to enjoy the spectacular scenery. Shortly before arrival in Hermanus, we pass the Botrivier Lagoon, an ecologically diverse estuarine system famous for its magnificent landscape and biodiversity.
From June to November, the southern right whale frequents the waters around this coastline. We reach Hermanus in the early afternoon. Lunch is followed by check-in and relaxation. Time is then devoted to hiking along part of the famous cliff path, which offers sublime ocean views, natural vegetation, and the possibility of spotting whales, dolphins, and seals.
