Day 2 unfolds with a scenic drive to Hermanus, famed for its rugged coastline and whale-watching wonders. After a leisurely breakfast, you journey along rolling vineyards and mountain passes until the ocean greets you. By midday, stroll the cliff paths where waves crash below and, in season, southern right whales breach majestically offshore. The afternoon invites exploration of charming boutiques and art galleries, followed by a visit to a local winery for tastings of world-class vintages. As dusk settles, savor a seaside dinner, the horizon painted in gold, marking a day of coastal beauty and indulgence.

An exceptionally stunning nature reserve site filled with captivating scenaries.
