7 Tours in Stanford That You Shouldn't Miss

Other than our unique biospheres, wildlife, diverse people, culture and history, one of the truly amazing aspects of living in Cape Town and the Western Cape is that we are privileged to enjoy both the majestic surrounding mountains as well as the beauty of the ocean. On this 2 day/1 night tour, we manage to showcase this as locals, through a range of truly unforgettable experiences within the countryside and small villages of the Overberg Region. Alongside locals who feel as passionate about their home and trade as I do, we will forge a collection of memories that center around a common theme: "Born of the Sea, Guided by the Stars, Blessed by the Earth." What makes this tour so unique is that it packs in many different elements of our incredible way of life here in the Western Cape, which will leave you with a true understanding of what locals enjoy... observe wild horses roaming through an historic town, spot whales, dolphins and penguins off a stunning coast line and so much more!

Dyer Island and Shark Alley in Gansbaai, 2 hours drive from Cape Town has become known as one of only two unique areas in the world, where the chances to view the Great White shark is exceptionally high however over the last 2 years the sightings in Gansbaai have become unpredictable and sporadic. When we are not seeing Great White sharks, we are seeing Copper sharks. These sharks are very interactive and as such, guests get good opportunities to cage dive and surface view these sharks. This area focuses on cage diving and it is unlikely to see the breaching behaviour here. Duration is 3 to 4 hours at sea based on sea conditions and shark activity.
