For those considering a honeymoon in Cape Town, a host of attractions and romantic activities lie in wait in this thriving South African city. Here are some of the top things to do when enjoying a honeymoon in the Cape:

  1. Try a trip up Table Mountain in the cable car at sunset. For a memorable adventure and a chance to enjoy the world-famous views of the peninsula, this is sure to be a moment you will both be able to treasure for years to come.
  2. Visit the Cape Winelands to sample award-winning wines. The quaint towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl are home to a number of excellent wine estates, with a chance to sample a range of white, red and sparkling wines and also enjoy delicious meals and spectacular views on these popular Cape Town tours.
  3. Horse riding on Long Beach in Noordhoek. This long stretch of beach is aptly named, offering the perfect place for a romantic horse riding experience at sunrise or sunset – gently walking or trotting along the beach, with the waves underfoot and the ocean spanning as far as the eye can see.
  4. Enjoy a Garden Route tour. Named after the lush green scenery found in this area, a Garden Route tour offers an excellent activity on your Cape Town honeymoon. Choose a longer tour over a few days, or take a shorter day tour – attractions such as Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature’s Valley, Oudtshoorn and many other hot-spots can be enjoyed along this route.
  5. World-class wining and dining. A trip to Cape Town would not be complete without enjoying the heavenly local cuisine and fine wines. Across the city, a range of excellent restaurants can be found, with something to suit every palate. Specialities include fresh seafood, spicy Malay curries, biltong and “wors”, which is the South African braai (barbeque) sausage done to perfection.
  6. Great beaches from coast to coast. From the chilly Atlantic Seaboard beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno, to the warmer Indian Ocean beaches of Muizenberg and Fish Hoek, and even the penguin inhabited beach of Boulders, Cape Town offers a wide range of beaches to enjoy.
  7. Shark cage diving for couples with a taste for adventure. For newlyweds wanting the thrill of getting up close and personal with Great White sharks, a shark cage diving experience is sure to be the highlight of your honeymoon! Viewing can also be done from the boat for those who prefer to stay onboard rather than venture into the water.
  8. Shop til you drop at the V&A Waterfront. Because no honeymoon is complete without a good shopping session, the V&A Waterfront is not to be missed – here you can find a wide range of shops selling everything from high-end designer clothing to locally made curios and crafts, as well as department stores, book stores, speciality stores and plenty more. Explore the range of shops and pick up a few souvenirs of your honeymoon in Cape Town to take a slice of the Cape home with you.
