Hire Car Cape TownHire Car Cape Town for day trips around the Western Cape. The province has a diverse assortment of coastlines, wildlife and viticulture to see. Try these five recommended day trips for a well-rounded Cape experience: Cape Overberg Coast and Hermanus The amazing Cape Overberg Coast is a delightful day trip. A lot of the coastline is also referred to as the Cape Whale Coast, because from June through to December, Southern Right whales, Bryde’s whales and Humpback whales arrive in the local bays to mate and calve. Hermanus and Gansbaai are two of the well-frequented whale watching towns. Hermanus is said to have the best land-based whale watching in the world, as it has a fantastic 12km cliff path for walking and watching over the waters to spot whale activity below. Cape West Coast: National Park and Fossil Park A day trip up the West Coast along Route 27 is a day well spent. The West Coast is wild and natural with a few fishing villages and seaside towns scattered along the shoreline. There are plenty of wonderful places to visit with access from Route 27, but the West Coast National Park and the Fossil Park are must-visits. The reserve surrounds the Langebaan Lagoon and is home to prolific birdlife, as well as the strandveld (beach vegetation) that turns into a glorious riot of colour come spring. The Fossil Park has uncovered 200 animals, some previously unknown to science. V&A Waterfront and the Two Oceans Aquarium Hire Car Cape Town and drive to the V&A Waterfront for a successful day out. The Waterfront is popular with both tourists and locals; a remarkable entertainment venue for all ages. Attractions include:
A walk around the working harbour might treat one to the sight of seals playing or the discovery of historical buildings. The Two Oceans Aquarium is literally wonder-full for children (and adults too)! Durbanville Wine Route Driving the Durbanville Wine Route is a memorable day trip. Nine wineries are part of the route, found in the Durbanville Wine Valley. Each wine estate is a captivating visit with its own particular character and heritage. The nine wine estates on the route are:
All the estates offer wine tastings, and some offer other attractions such as cellar tours, restaurants, child care activities, picnics and hiking. Vineyard representatives are fountains of information about wine, food and wine pairings, and Cape wine history.
