Then, enjoy a free day and tick off all the must-see attractions that grab your fancy, from the Two Oceans Aquarium to the Boulders Beach penguin colony and everything in between. 

After an exciting Cape Town tour, you’ll head out to the Winelands, where Stellenbosch will entice you with its locally-made wines. Spend a night in Hermanus, the best place to catch sightings of whales. Afterwards, make your way through the small town of Swellendam to the coastal Mossel Bay. This is where your Garden Route tour really begins.
