Shark Alley - Gordon's Bay to Cape Agulhas
This stretch of coastline between Gordon's Bay and Cape Agulhas is an absolute must for nature lovers and especially marine enthousiasts, who have done the Big Five. Dive with Great White Sharks and see whales from the convenience of your guesthouse and visit one of the two land-based African Penguins colonies - the ultimate marine thrill.

Cape Overberg - Swellendam to Mossel Bay
The area roughly between Swellendam and Mossel Bay is often overlooked by tourists, who merely drive through it on their way from Cape Town to the start of the Garden Route (or the other way round). However, it is well worth breaking your journey and even stopping for a couple of nights to take in this historic part of the country. Can be organised on a tailor-made and self-drive basis.

The Garden Route - Mossel Bay to Storms River
The renowned Garden Route, stretching from Mossel Bay to around Storms River Mouth, is a very attractive part of South Africa's coastline. The name can be misleading to Europeans who come to the region expecting lush flowering gardens, which are in fact dense forests incorporating fynbos and hardwood trees. The Garden Route offers not only sun, sand & sea, but also a variety of activities ranging from whale watching and sea kayaking to forest canopy walks and bungee jumping for those people looking for adrenaline producing activities. Can be organised on a tailor-made and self-drive basis.

Port Elizabeth and Addo Elephant National Park
Port Elizabeth is often just the starting or finishing point for the Garden Route, but has more to offer than just a bed for the night. It has interesting museums and historical town tours. Once you have made it all the way to Port Elizabeth, you might as well go that little bit further east and visit Addo Elephant National Park - an absolute must for elephant lovers! Can be organised on a tailor-made and self-drive basis.
