Day 1
The Beginning

Darlings, prepare to start your adventure at George Airport: GRJ (make sure to tell your pilot to drop you off there)! Imagine this: you'll be greeted by your glamorous tour leader and a group of equally fabulous fellow travellers. 🌟


As you step onto the tour bus, take a moment to enjoy your first glass of bubbles, setting the tone for an exciting journey to the stunning Plettenberg Bay, just a short and stylish 90-minute drive away. 🥂


But the excitement doesn't end there! Get ready for a thrilling Sea Kayaking adventure in the Indian Ocean! Paddle through deep-blue waters, surrounded by marine life and breathtaking views. Experienced guides ensure your safety as you glide through the water, taking in the stunning scenery. 


After leisurely exploring this charming coastal town and a fun High Speed Cruise through the Knysna Heads, it's time for the official Glitter Trail welcome dinner. And let me tell you, dinner isn't just a meal; it's a glamorous affair at the new and fabulous Plett Quarter Rooftop Restaurant. 🌈 A perfect way to conclude a day filled with pure glamour.


So, get ready for a journey filled with bubbles, elephants, and unforgettable experiences. 🚌🍾🐘🍽️ Let's create memories as fabulous as you are! 💃🕺💅
