Detailed Tour Itinerary Day 1: Overberg Guests are met at any location of their choice in Cape Town from where the Whale Watching Tour makes its way to Hermanus. En route we traverse the towns of Rooi Els and Betties Bay following one of the most scenic coastal routes in South Africa. Several stops are made at vantage points from where the scenery can be enjoyed. During the months of June to November these waters are frequented by the Southern Right whale and the stops could afford the opportunity of viewing these magnificent creatures. The overnight destination of Hermanus is reached during the late afternoon. The town is situated on the shores of Walker Bay with sweeping views over the Indian Ocean and the rigid mountains which is characteristic of this part of the Western Cape.

Day 2: Overberg A morning visit is made to the Hamilton and Russell Vineyard which is situated a stone's throw from Hermanus in the Heaven and Earth Valley. This fine wine estate is world renowned for the excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines it produces. The afternoon is spent in Walker Bay visiting various vantage points from where the whales can potentially be spotted. We also embark on a whale watching cruise. The cruise affords clients the opportunity of getting in fairly close proximity to the Southern Right Whale as they regularly splash about in the waters of Walker Bay.

Day 3: Departure
A late morning is followed by a return journey to Cape Town via the apple producing regions of Grabouw and Elgin where we make a stop at one of the warehouses involved in storing the apples. It is fascinating in the sense that all of the oxygen in these storage facilities is replaced by a mixture of gasses which make it possible to preserve apples for more than a year. The tour then travels back to Cape Town via Sir Lowery's Pass which is cut into the Hottentots Holland mountains.

Overnight: None

Meals:Breakfast
