Cape Town Sightseeing Table Mountain & City Tour An early morning departure will take you from your hotel directly to the cableway. From here take the cable car up Table Mountain where you will have stunning views of Cape Town and its surroundings. Afterwards take a tour of this pretty city and its tourist spots. Cape Township This interesting tour will introduce you to the “other side” of Cape Town. Learn about pre and post apartheid, how it has affected the local people, and visit projects that help the community develop and build a better life in today’s fast moving and modern South Africa. Cape Point Tour Explore the very bottom tip of Africa. You can see where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, as well as enjoying fantastic scenery along the way. Your tour includes visits to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, Hout Bay and Sea Point. Shark Cage Diving 16 The Winelands Robben Island Take a half or full day tour on a scenic drive away from Cape Town and through the wine tasting areas of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Enjoy several stops to sample the local wine and admire the views around stunning vineyards. From the 17th-20th centuries, Robben Island served as a place of banishment, and for 17 years it was home to Nelson Mandela. Today it is a World Heritage Site, national museum and a reminder of the price paid for freedom. Take time to absorb this chilling part of South Africa’s history. Your adventure begins with breakfast and a briefing before embarking to Dyer Island, known for its large seal colony. Watch the dive crew lure sharks in with chum before you are lowered into the cool waters, finding yourself face to face with these amazing creatures!
