Cape Town - V&A Waterfront

  • In the city’s harbour, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront offers shopping and entertainment, with an exciting range of restaurants and bars. The harbour is also a working dock and a marina so there’s always plenty to see.
  • The Time Out Market, the first on the African Continent, showcases some of Cape Town’s award-winning chefs alongside up and coming talent.
  • At the Two Oceans Aquarium you can delve into the diversity of both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, and see the marine life, including sharks and penguins.
  • The rejuvenated Silo District is home to the Zeitz MOCAA art gallery which houses an impressive collection of contemporary African art.
  • Robben Island is easily accessible by ferry from the waterfront where you can explore the history of Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment.
  • Excursions by boat, catamaran and helicopter depart from the Waterfront area – or you can hire a paddle board and explore the waterfront’s canals.

Small group tours

Travelling with a small group is an affordable and sociable way to travel. Ask us about our group tours depart - they range from 4-14 days, depart on set dates, and are accompanied by a driver/guide who can bring the destinations to life. It’s a great option for solo travellers.
