I loved this day out. Our private driver was excellent and full of knowledge. He drove us to see penguins at Stony Beach and then onto Hermanus to see 6 whales (its end of the season now as well) and then to a lovely wine Estate called Benguela Cove where we did some wine tasting and had a charcuterie board.

The private driver, Charleton, drove us to Hermanus and told us stories of cape town and surrounding area the entire time! He was very friendly. The boat tour was exceptional, was up close to hundreds of dolphins and about 5 whales!
