We had a driver rather than a guide. He did the minimal effort to explain and even mentioned “I appreciate you talking among yourselves”

Wat er werd geboden hadden we niet verwacht. De gids wist heelveel en legde het goed uit met de nodige grappen er tussen door, dat de bottocht niet doorging was wel jammer maar de natuur kun je niet dwingen, daar tegen over was de uitstap bij Hermanus perfect toch walvissen kunnen spotten, ook de stop bij een wijnfarm met een wijn proferij er bij was perfect. bijdeze nog maals bedankt

A full day tour that brought us to many scenic places along the coast, with a 2hour boat ride out to catch the whales basking in the sun, followed by a yummy lunch in a quaint village. A perfect day!
