Enjoy the Constantia Wine Route Experience - Constantia is the birthplace of the wine farming industry in South Africa. As you drive through the beautiful historical valley it is no wonder the first Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, chose this situation for his farm, Groot Constantia. Four of the only five farms which remain in the Constantia Valley today, were part of that original portion of prime land which was granted to him.

The world famous wines from Constantia were sought after by royalty in the eighteenth century, and still to this day, world class wines are being produced and accoladed for their escalating quality.

Visitors can taste the fine wines and experience a unique journey through each of the five farms, which also hold top class South African Restaurants, namely; Constantia Uitsig, La Colombe, Buitenverwachting and Steenberg.

Whale Watching - Each year Southern Right whales migrate into the coastal waters of the Western Cape to calve and nurse their young. The animals, often mere metres from the shore, provide unsurpassed whale watching opportunities between June and November. Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year, while Bryde's whales are found slightly further offshore all year round.

Horse rides - along Noordhoek Beach are available through Imhoff's Farm just outside Kommetjie or from a number of stables in Noordhoek itself. Imhoff's farm offers 2-hour horse rides along Noordhoek beach, combined with a short bush ride. An abundance of bird life is visible as the bush ride circles the wetlands, water birds, cranes, geese and rare flamingo flocks. And for the lucky - dolphins playing in the waves, with the occasional sighting of whales with young feeding near the shore.
