More About This Tour

The Nursery Ravine hike is a moderate to challenging trail located on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, directly above Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. The trail is known for its stunning scenery, including a rain forest-like ravine, towering cliffs, and panoramic views of the city and ocean. Nursery Ravine consists of a series of steps, steep in some sections, but the views are worth the effort. As you climb, you will pass through a variety of vegetation, including proteas, cycads, and ferns. The trail eventually reaches the Upper Table Mountain Cableway Station. From the summit, you can enjoy 360-degree views of Cape Town, Table Bay, and the surrounding mountains. The Nursery Ravine hike is a great way to experience the beauty of Table Mountain. The trail is challenging but rewarding, and the views are simply stunning.

I recently took a Seal Island boat trip with Circe Launches and had an amazing time! It was easy to find in Hout Bay, and there was plenty of parking too. Once we left the harbour the seas were a little rough – but for me that added to the fun of it! After around 20 minutes we got up close to Seal Island and were able to see thousands of Cape fur seals. We spent around 10 minutes around the island, watching these charismatic animals dive in and out of the ocean. It was fascinating to watch, and you couldn’t help but fall in love with the pups – they were so cute! Once we’d left the island, you could appreciate the beautiful scenery and take in the stunning sights. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and the boat was clean and comfortable – and for the price, it was fantastic value. Overall, I had a great time on the Seal Island boat trip with Circe Launches. I would highly recommend that you add it to your Cape Town to-do list!
