The extremities of landmasses have always captured our imagination. To stand at the southernmost tip of the African continent would certainly rank high within the realm of this sentiment. Apart from this highlight, the tour takes one over Sir Lowry’s Pass and Houwhoek Pass to Hermanus where, in the whale season (normally July to November), a few moments will be spared for whale watching. The area has a rich history of maritime hardships, to which the Shipwreck Museum at Bredasdorp bears graphic testimony. Highlights include:
- Mountain passes and the beautiful “Overberg” (over the mountain) scenery
- The historic fisherman’s cottages of Struisbaai
- Cape Agulhas, where two oceans meet. Enjoy a glass of bubbly at the southern most tip of Africa and dip your toes in both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
- Enjoying lunch at the Agulhas lighthouse restaurant.
- If time allows visit the Shipwreck Museum at Bredasdorp
