Cape Town Day Trip Heaven

If you plan to be in Cape Town only for a short stay then you should consider a day trip tour. There are too many things to mention that one can do in Cape Town. Just for starters, you can stroll through the city and see the many historical sites or take a trip up the mountain. If it’s physical activity you want to engage in then this is the city for you but if you’re a couch potato then head for one of the many magnificent beaches for a well deserved stretch on the sand.

Everyone can be catered for in Cape Town, it all comes down to your fitness and levels of energy. You can go the self-catering route or you can have someone like a tour guide plan the day trip for you. Even though Cape Town may be smaller than some other international holiday destinations, the city still has a wealth of activities to offer.

The Company Gardens located at the foot of Table Mountain and the Houses of Parliament alongside it make for a very attractive start to any day trip. Then there are the museums and cultural centres like the castle where tourists can visit to experience the dark dungeons.

Mainly consisting of sandstone, Table Mountain rises just over one kilometre above sea level. It is Cape Town’s most recognisable feature and a point of reference when you lose your way in the bustling city. There are two ways to get to the top of the mountain. One is the easiest, via the cable car which allows visitors a panoramic view while ascending to the upper cable station. The second is by foot through the numerous hiking trails which eventually lead to the top.

Everything is nearby which is what makes the day trip option so smart. You can accomplish so much in a short time. There is a lot to see and do but be sure to take some time out to appreciate the beauty around you on the way. It is a special place that allows you to go from a cable car ride one thousand metres above sea-level to an award winning wine farm less than an hour away.

From shark cage diving to abseiling, paragliding, kite surfing and mountain biking, Cape Town has it all. If that sounds like too much for you then head out to the tranquil wine farms with their award winning vintages.
