Landmasses’ extremities have long captivated our attention. In the category of this sentiment, being near the southernmost tip of the African continent would undoubtedly rate highly. If you decide to take the boat, it will take three hours to return from Sir Lowry’s Pass and Houwhoek Pass to Hermanus, where whale watching is available from July to November. It will be feasible to visit the town in 30 minutes. There is a long history of marine suffering in the area. Then sip on a glass of bubbly while dipping your toes into the Atlantic and Indian oceans at Africa’s southernmost tip! Drive back to Cape Town after that.
