Journey into the Overberg on one of South Africa’s most scenic day tours. The drive to Hermanus is an experience in itself, with dramatic mountain and ocean views along Clarence Drive, wine-tasting opportunities, and beautiful farmland and canola fields glowing yellow in winter.

On the way, visit Stony Point in Betty’s Bay, home to a lively colony of African penguins, and stop at the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden to explore indigenous fynbos and mountain scenery.

In Hermanus, walk the famous cliff path and enjoy some of the best land-based whale watching in the world. During whale season, Southern Right Whales often come remarkably close to shore.

The Hemel-en-Aarde Valley offers many welcoming wine farms, while viewpoints above Hermanus reveal sweeping views across Walker Bay. I’ll tailor the day to your interests, whether you prefer wildlife, wine, gardens, photography or simply a spectacular drive through the Overberg.
