Whale watching is a big draw for visitors to Cape Town. The best time to see these majestic beasts in the wild is between May and November when you'll be able to take a boat or catamaran cruise from Simon's Town, Kalk Bay or Hout Bay.

And don't forget about the sharks, seals and dolphins. They might be smaller than their popular whale cousins but they are no less fascinating to observe in their natural habitat, and are sure to provide treasured memories of your time in this great coastal city. 

Robben Island has become a symbol of the power of the human spirit. After all, it was here that Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Today it is a world heritage sight and an unmissable part of any visitor of Cape Town's itinerary. Visible from the city shoreline, Robben Island is easily reached by ferry from the Victoria & Albert Waterfront and promises a host of enriching tourist treasures.
