Following the whale watching and lunch (own account), you will drive through the scenic Elgin ? an apple growing center. Travel back to Cape Town via St. Lowry's Pass.

This idyllic location offers incredibly white sand dunes, unique views of Table Mountain and the City and provides an incredible wide-open feeling of Africa. Alternatively, we can travel along the East Coast to Bettys Bay which is approximately an hour drive out of Town. Your Guides will provide instruction for the duration of the activity in a safe and fun filled environment. All sand board equipment, expert instructors, permits, and transport to and from the sand dunes location is included. *This tour requires a minimum of 4 people to operate.

Walk to Freedom Tour
Experience the wonderful raw energy of our 'Rainbow Nation' in one unforgettable morning. You'll be walking in the footsteps of the local communities - those of yesterday and today - seeing where and how both past and present generations lived, or just existed, during the dark days of apartheid, and experience how people of these townships live today. Explore the riveting District Six Museum (closed Sundays) for a sharp reminder of the past, then tour Langa, the oldest apartheid housing scheme in the Cape, and visit the impressive Tsoga Environmental Gardens. We want you to enjoy a hands-on experience of life in a township, so you'll be visiting an informal spaza shop, popping into a shebeen (pub), and visiting a hostel. Tastes of the daily life of a community. Following your tour of the township, continue to the Nelson Mandela Gateway to connect with your scheduled tour to Robben Island. Cruel home of our Nelson Mandela for so many years, it's a highly charged and emotional moment when you visit the site of this suffering, and realize how far South Africa has come from those days.

Cycle through this area and smell the unique scent of the Protea, Walk up to the site of the original lighthouse at Cape Point then walk along the Clifftop route from Cape Point to the Cape of Good Hope.
