It will be feasible to visit the town in 30 minutes. There is a long history of marine suffering in the area. Then sip on a glass of bubbly while dipping your toes into the Atlantic and Indian oceans at Africa's southernmost tip! Drive back to Cape Town after that.

Our expedition continues through the beautiful green, gold and brown citrus orchards of the overberg, stopping at a Farm stall for some refreshments. We proceed with our trip through Caledon, the seventh oldest town in South Africa, agricultural hub of the Overberg area and known for the iron-rich hot springs. Our tour will lead us to The Cape Agulhas Lighthouse that has stood for over 150 years as a maritime chaperone over the notorious 'Cape of Storms', at the most southern tip of Africa.
