DAY TOURS & ACTIVITIES The forever landscape to the east of Cape Town, reaching all the way to the Wild Coast and deep inland, is an amazing treasury of all kinds of good things and places. Our exquisite Garden Route runs south from the friendly city of Port Elizabeth, to the quaintly artistic village of Knysna – few finer places from which to explore this green coastal belt of the Cape West Coast.
PORT ELIZABETH CITY TOUR
HALF DAY TOUR Departs Daily at 08h30 • Returns at ±12h00 The history of Port Elizabeth is bound up with that of the arrival of the 1820 British Settlers, and the remnants of that pivotal time still linger. You’ll explore the many memorable sights of the City and enjoy its superb examples of exquisite Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Travel along the beachfront, past the harbour and into the old town, with a visit to the Donkin Reserve, Settler’s Park and St George’s Park, proud home of Eastern Province cricket. Your experience highlights: • Port Elizabeth city exploration • Donkin Reserve • Settler’s Park • St George’s Park
KNYSNA & PLETTENBERG BAY TOUR
FULL DAY TOUR Departs Daily at 09h00 • Returns at ±17h00 Come and enjoy the glorious scenery from Knysna to Plettenberg Bay, and we’ll show you the stunning birds, bees and monkeys. We show you the famed cliff formations of the Knysna ‘Heads’, and we take you on a tour to the Birds of Eden, the largest free flight walk-through aviary in the world. A short hop away is Monkeyland, sanctuary and home to numerous monkey species from around the world. It’s fascinating. And rest assured, as we move from Knysna to ‘Plett’ as it’s known locally, we’ll all be keeping our eyes peeled for schools of dolphins which frequent this coastline. It’s a wonderfully graceful sight, and a fitting cherry

FEATHERBED TOUR

Join us on this wonderful journey of rejuvenation and become part of our conservation efforts. Participate in our optional Seed Ball Project and shoot balls embedded with seeds of our indigenous flora, along the path in designated areas. The tours stop at designated spots, where the guides demonstrate a South African children’s game, ‘kettie skiet’ (shooting a catapult). All guests will feel they’ve become part of something that’s bigger than each one of us and left a legacy for generations to come. Good walking shoes are recommended as well as cameras, hats and sunblock in summer and a warm jacket in winter on the ferry. A perfect outdoor family holiday activity to be enjoyed by both young and old with a passion for nature.
