Drive from Hermanus to Stellenbosch

Today, you leave the whale capital and head towards Stellenbosch. The scenic drive takes 1.5 hours (just under 100 km via the R43 and N2), but we recommend a stop in Betty’s Bay to visit the African penguins at Stony Point Nature Reserve for close-up views of a colony of these black and white beauties. You’ll still arrive in South Africa’s second-oldest town in time for a premium wine tasting and gourmet lunch, a stroll through the oak-lined streets or a historical walk. Don’t forget your camera!
