Of course, these are some of the more sedate sightseeing trips you will definitely want to add to your list of places to explore, but you might also like to consider

Adventure and Sports Tours - including river rafting, shark and scuba diving, horse riding or sea kayaking.
Aeroplane flights over the most fantastic scenery, with perhaps a lunch at Plettenburg Bay on the Garden Route - This gets our recommendation for its beautiful, endless, soft sandy white beaches.
Helicopter flights - why not visit Dassen Island on the West Coast, which is the biggest breeding colony of African Penguins, including a tour of the island and lighthouse with the resident ranger.
Photography Tours - what a choice of subjects in this magnificent location!
Bird Watching Tours - with over 950 bird species and a great variety of sea birds, Cape Town and its environs is a 'twitchers' paradise.

What choice! How to decide!
�
Well, we're all different and want different things from our holidays, so take into account the make-up of your group - have you got small children or elderly members as sky-diving might not be the best activity to explore. How much time and money have you got?

Once more, research is your best ally in getting the most out of your vacation. Do the homework first and preferably book every tour you'll want to go on before you leave home. That way you won't be disappointed if a popular trip is booked up on the day you want to go. Also it helps to get the most out of your vacation - by having a plan you're not going to wake up wondering what to do that day!

Many of these tours can be undertaken by yourselves, especially if you have a car rental. For instance, a tour of the City can take in The Castle of Good Hope, which is right in the centre of the city. It's the oldest remaining building in Cape Town, having been built around 1666 to 1679. To learn more about the Castle and its guided tours, please click here.

The Cape Malay Quarter is another fascinating area of the city to explore and can easily be achieved on foot, infact it's the best way to see this part of town, coupled with the Company Gardens and Greenmarket Square, makes for a hands-on view of Cape Town city, or should that read feet-on view?

No visit to Cape Town would be complete without a trip up Table Mountain. For a comprehensive overview of the mountain itself, read our information on Table Mountain.
