Cape Town Endurance Challenge Tour Details:

Day 1: Arrive Cape Town

After arrival at Cape Town international Airport, a quick 20-minute transfer takes us to our Hotel at the Cities V&A Waterfront. The day is left to use as you wish – make sure you are back at the hotel in time for your Cape Town Endurance Challenge adventure briefing.

Options are a visit to the famous Robin Island Prison where Nelson Mandela was held, a half-day trip into the townships to get an idea of how the majority of South Africans live, or simply visit the shops, aquarium and festivities of the Waterfront or one the Cape Beaches.

That evening we will have a safety brief and presentation of the 6 tough days to come before dinner and settling down for the night.

 Day 2: Table Mountain

To day you begin with your Cape Town Endurance Challenge

The hike boasts a selection of endless views in every direction: the city and Robin Island (home to Nelson Mandela for many years), beaches and Atlantic Ocean, Mountain ranges and ravines and the inland Plains.

 Day 3: Sea Kayak Hout Bay and Seals

Itinerary:

Transfer to Hout Bay

The day’s challenge is to Kayak the entire perimeter of Hout Bay and weather permitting to pass very closely to hundreds of seals at Seal Island. Enjoy a fantastic sunset from the hillside camp.

Attractions: After Breakfast (not too early) we begin our days challenge; a half day, 7-10 km Sea Kayak around Hout Bay. This cliffside route should take us past the whales that visit the bay each year.

This large natural pool has some fantastic jumps from the cliffs that surround it or simply offers a cool refreshing swim after soaking up the African sun. A series of caves near to camp host a magnificent collection of ancient bushman’s paintings and are well worth a visit if there is time.

 Day 5: Wolfberg Cracks and Arch

Itinerary:

Early start: 7 – 8am

Attractions: All day is spent on hiking through the Cedarberg Mountain Range.

We pass through the Wolfberg Cracks to reach the summit. The cracks are deeply carved out of the mountain’s edge and create a set of steep shaded gorges ready to explore. Later we pass under the spectacular Wolfberg Arch; designed over years by the forces of nature and left for us to enjoy. The evening is spent enjoying the healthy aching in our bodies around a roaring campfire. The skies here are clear and crisp and you would never have seen so many stars before as the crickets sing you to sleep.

Itinerary:

Early Start: 8am

Hike: Full day round trip to the Maltese cross
