Day 7

place Grootbos Private Nature Reserve Activities

Tailor-make your day from a selection of activities available below: (Some activities may not be included and are at an additional rate) Horse Riding on the Reserve Go for a relaxed ride through the fynbos or ride one of our special horses that are specifically trained for the beach. Our 22 horses at the Grootbos stables are well exercised and expertly trained, while all of our guides have years of experience in dealing with these noble animals. Beach Horse Riding We also offer a 3-hour beach horse ride along the Walker Bay coastline. Beach Horse Riding is not part of the standard Grootbos activities included in your rate. Land Based Whale Watching (June - December) The Southern Right whales visit Walker Bay each year and being witness to them in action whilst they breach and blow is a very special experience to observe. Boat Based Whale Watching (June - December) Leaving every morning from Kleinbaai harbour. Besides seeing the amazing whales, this trip offers a complete experience of the Marine Big5, which includes the whales, dolphins, African Penguins, Cape Fur Seals and surface viewing of the Great White Shark. Shark Cage Diving One of the most exciting experiences at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is the Great White Shark cage diving. Gansbaai has the reputation for being the shark capital of the world. Cage Diving (No diving experience required!) This is truly one of the most adventurous activities on our planet, coming face to face with the Great White Shark. Surface Viewing Grootbos guests have the choice to either enter the cage on the shark boat or view these magnificent creatures from the top deck of the boat. Surface Viewing is normally suitable for people wanting to see the shark from out of water and not necessarily come face to face with it inside the water. 4x4 Flower Safari Keep still, listen intently, and you’ll be amazed at the things you learn on a botanical safari.

Day 8

place Grootbos Private Nature Reserve Activities

Tailor-make your day from a selection of activities available below: (Some activities may not be included and are at an additional rate) Beach Excursion As a guest at Grootbos, there are so many different ways to enjoy the beach. You can take a long, relaxing walk on a solitary shore; laze in the sun on the luxurious white sand; or explore the unique coastal ecosystem while looking out for frolicking whales. Bird Watching The Grootbos reserve and surrounding areas are a magnet to a wide variety of rare and endemic bird species feeding and breeding in the rich and diverse habitats. Klipgat Cave - an Echo of early man The Klipgat Cave outside De Kelders evokes vivid images of pre-historic times when modern man lived haply in symbiotic harmony with nature off the bounty of land and sea when the coastline was still kilometres away. Spa Treatments It is time to tip-toe into a slower world where the mind can drift away on the vapors of luxurious scents, such as sandalwood, arnica and buchu, while the body melts under the soothing touch of our fully qualified beauty therapist. Walks and Hikes Enjoy an entrancing stroll through our Milkwood forest or a more revitalising hike up our fynbos-clad mountains, as you begin to understand what makes Grootbos quite so special. From a sunbird sipping from a flower to an ocean vista that leaves you breathless, surprises await you around every corner. Lady Stanford River Cruise Hop aboard the Lady Stanford river boat for an iconic and tranquil river cruise that winds its way gently along the picturesque Klein River, toward the Hermanus lagoon. Living the Future Tour Take a tour with heart as you discover how the entire Grootbos experience has been designed around benefitting the community and environment around you. Fat Biking This is the ultimate ride from Grootbos Nature Reserve down the mountain to the top of the Sand Dunes. The trail to the dunes is special, running on a narrow sandy horse trail through the Fynbos.
