We had the most amazing time thanks to Anna Marie and her team! Steph with Earthstompers was such a fantastic guide as well. All of the activities selected were such fun. The pace of the trip was perfect with blocks of free time scattered throughout. It was a treat to get to meet Anna Marie in person at one of the wine tastings. The ebiking was a bit of a challenge for me but I appreciated the opportunity. I loved Gold restaurant and getting to try so many different kinds of food. Each of our accommodations were perfect and so cute. All the rooms were clean and beautiful. The one in Hermanus had the most amazing view and Oude Werf was a palace! Overall it was a phenomenal first taste of Africa!

This was a nice leisurely activity, very low key. I do think it was for more of a mature crowd but we still had a good time.

The full day wine tour was a good time. The three wineries we went to were absolutely gorgeous. The wines were delicious. The restaurant we went to for lunch in town wasn’t the greatest but it was a nice view.

The activity itself was a good challenge. It did seem more of a mountain biking activity-a little tougher than expected.

This was such a neat way to start the trip! The weather was perfect and it was a cool outing in the water and being so close to seals and penguins.
