With so much to do and see here are a few Cape Town tour ‘must sees' for first time visitors:

Weather permitting a trip up the beloved Table Mountain is a must. For those who have more time and enjoy a challenge why not try conquering the mountain on foot. There are various trails matched to your level of fitness, either full or half day.

A stop at Cape Point gives visitors the opportunity to boast of having been at the most south-westerly point of Africa, where the cold Benguela and the warm Agulhus currents (west and east respectively) meet. Some 26 shipwrecks have been recorded at Cape Point, some of them presenting good diving spots. A finucular takes visitors on scenic trips to an old lighthouse and the spot is a bird watcher's paradise.

Wine tasting at picturesque Franschhoek or Stellenbosch wine route and for those pressed for time, Constantia valley offers award winning wine estates a mere 15 minute drive from the CBD. Popular with many visitors is doing the “Cycle the winelands tour” - Visit Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek with a tasting in each region and one cellar tour. Get onto a bicycle during the course of the day and cycle the winelands after you have enjoyed your picnic lunch.

Dinner at Mandela's is an evening cultural experience which allows visitors to South Africa to mingle with the local residents of Imizamo Yethu (Mandela Park Township) in Hout Bay. It is an opportunity for visitors to gain a better understanding of the lifestyle and culture of the residents and to have a fun filled evening of African Music and Dance and partying with the locals.

For those adventure seekers why not try a scenic helicopter flight around Cape Town exploring breathtaking coast views of Cape Peninsula or take a day trip up Gaansbai for some shark cage diving to snorkel live in steel cages while watching shark attacks in the water with visitors close-by.
