With hiking and biking
Every day - R425.00 Includes entrance fees & picnic lunch

Where do the two oceans meet? And why is it called "the Cape of Good Hope"? Join us on a journey of discovery as we explore the splendour of the Cape Peninsula. We follow the Atlantic Seaboard, past Clifton & Camps Bay, to the fishing hamlet of Hout Bay for an optional boat cruise to Duiker Island to experience thousands of Cape Fur Seals in their natural habitat (R35). We continue along the scenic Chapman's Peak Drive to Simon's Town to meet up with a colony of rare Jackass Penguins at Boulders Beach.

You would've noticed the bicycles behind the bus by now! Once inside the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, we swap four wheels for two to get some fresh air into our lungs and to build up a healthy appetite.

Our legendary scrumptious picnic lunch will then be served somewhere in the reserve... maybe at one of the stunning beaches! Are you brave enough to challenge the Atlantic?

After lunch we hike to the top lighthouse at Cape Point and then to the Cape of Good Hope. Both hikes offer breathtaking vistas and REAL fresh air! We return home via Scarborough and Kommetjie.

You will need:

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Shorts or trousers
• A sweater/windbreaker
• Sunscreen (For summer time... SPF 30+)
• Bathing costume. (Should the weather allow it, we will have lunch at one of the beaches and swimming might be possible!)

Mon, Wed, Fri - R425.00 Includes tastings & picnic lunch

This is a truly mellow day with absolutely no exercise involved... except for the lifting of your wine glass to taste the liquid of life! During the day you will visit three regions of the Cape Winelands: Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, with a tasting in each region and a cellar tour* at one of the farms. All the wine farms offer a variety of white and red cultivars, as well as their own blends & styles. We allow enough time for each tasting to fully appreciate and enjoy the winemaster's art.

We also visit the charming historical towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. All three wine regions offer the most amazing scenery and, while enjoying our legendary scrumptious picnic lunch, the spectacular views will certainly leave you with a lasting impression.

WINELANDS #2 (with biking)

Tues, Thurs, Sat* - R425.00 Includes tastings and a picnic lunch

As #1, but at some point during the day, we will swap four wheels for two & cycle through the vineyards. Nothing serious, certainly not the Tour de France! Just enough to get a little exercise and make you even more thirsty!

* Note: There will be no cellar tour on a Saturday due to early closings of the vineyards.

Getting into the cage with the sharks around, is truly the most breath-taking experience you will ever live to remember.  When feeding actively around the boat, the sharks may occasionally brush their tail against the cage, but NEVER attack the cage.  They are very curious though and  often come close-up to the cage, taking a closer look at the diver.  A personal, eye-to-eye encounter with this awesome animal, is guaranteed to get the adrenaline going!    

Our cage is situated next to the side of the boat and once ready to take the dive, our Dive Master would assist the diver into the opening at the top of the cage. Once in position, the divers head would be no more than half a meter below the surface. A free-board of approx. 30cm allows the diver to rise to the surface and effectively communicate with the Dive Master on the boat. Snorkelers would secure themselves by holding onto the convenient cross bars, situated at the top of the cage.

Diving takes place on a quick and effective rotational system, with 5 to 6 divers down at a time. Once the rotation is completed it will be repeated, therefore ensuring that each diver can take as many dives as possible. Time spent in the cage depends on weather/water conditions, shark activity and eagerness of each diver, but is usually approx. 15 minutes at a time. We rarely have more than 18 divers on board at a time, ensuring maximum cage diving time for all divers and snorkelers.

Scuba versus Snorkeling

A scuba certification is not a necessity to be able to dive in the cage, as we also allow snorkeling. While certified scuba divers dive on scuba, inexperienced divers are able to enjoy the same experience on snorkel. Both methods are equally comfortable and takes place under strict supervision of our Dive Master.

When does snorkeling / scuba diving take place?

Diving is not always guaranteed since we work 10 km out at sea and only know what the shark activity and sea conditions are like once we arrive at the dive site. We are, however, able to continue with diving 95% of the time. It is also known that during certain seasons we encounter sharks that are very cautious and are therefore easily frightened by sound, such as the sound of scuba breathing equipment. To avoid scaring the sharks off as soon as they arrive at the boat, we often commence the diving on snorkel. Should the sharks become more relaxed and confident with having the divers around, we will then switch to scuba. However, diving on scuba is not guaranteed as it all depends on the types of sharks we encounter on each particular tour. It is obviously better to view sharks from the cage on snorkel, than not to get to see the sharks at all.
