The Tour to Cape Agulhas is a great way to spend a memorable day during your Cape Town holidays. A walk along the pathway, which will take you to the official meeting point of the two oceans.

Explore one of the oldest lighthouses in South Africa, here at the Cape Agulhas.
On route from the Cape Agulhas, we will stop at the Hemel-en-Aarde wine valley just behind Hermanus. Here we recommend a wine tasting at Creation Wine Estate or Hamilton Russell wine estate. You may also spot the Southern Right Whales along the seashores of Hermanus during Whale season (June to November). Lunch can also be enjoyed at one of the many seaside restaurants in Hermanus.

It was a long day but the scenery along the way was stunning and kept changing. The coastline at Cape Agulhas was beautiful and along the coast we were lucky to see dassies at Hermanus where we stopped for lunch and the penguins at Stony Point were amazing. A perfect day out.
Very nice time. Loved our driver
Driver was extremely informative about South Africa and the challenges facing the country. Enjoyed seeing the sights as we made down to the bottom of the continent
Amazing journey to Cape Agulhas!!!
Although the journey to Cape Agulhas was long, Seeing the southern most tip of Africa was most memorable. The vehicle was a very comfortable BMW with lots of leg and head room. We also got to see Baboons and made a stop to peer at the penguins along the way. It was an amazing tour. Thanks Marshal !
Amazing trip to Cape Alguhas
We had an amazing experience that exceeded all our expectations. Ruben, our tour guide was warm and excited to show us all the interesting places, and helped us to take lots of photos. He was very knowledgeable and enriched the trip and our overall experience by providing a rich background and context to all the places we visited. Can't wait to do this again.
