Drive from Hermanus to Franschhoek

You can drive from Hermanus to Franschhoek directly after breakfast, or start your day with an early morning bird excursion on the Klein River that will (re)ignite your love for birds. Via the jaw-dropping Theewaterskloof Dam, you first reach Betty’s Bay after 50 minutes, where you can watch the penguin colony at Stony Point Nature Reserve. After another 1 hour and 20 minutes, you reach Franschhoek, a lovely 17th-century city with lots of wine and food (and you are there in time for lunch)!
