| The West Coast of the Cape is a still fairly
well kept secret destination. Quaint towns and villages like
Yserfontein, Langebaan, Saldanha act as stepping-stones on the
way to the town of Velddrif. Also along this stretch of coast
you can find hidden bays like Stompneus Bay, Slipper Bay,
Paternoster and Cape Columbine, where you can often see whales
and dolphins at play.
Velddrif is situated at the mouth of the Berg River. It has
a rich fishing history and a well-known bird sanctuary, which
boasts around 240 species of birds.
THE TOUR
You will arrive at a meeting place at 10h00 where qualified
guides will meet you and join you for a yummy continental
breakfast at the Port Owen Bistro.
After breakfast we board the river crafts - either charter
boats, or, the 2-man kayaks. We then take you on a trip up the
river into the bird sanctuary. The course of the river
traverses the tidal wetlands of the Berg River. The setting is
tranquil and beautiful.
A gourmet lunch is served and a wine tasting follows,
either on board the charter boat or right on the banks of the
river – you decide. If this sounds a little too peaceful and
you’d like some adventure, a 9-meter bridge jump is available
at the lunch location.
After the meal there is ample opportunity to simply relax
and watch the birds, before we head back along the waterway to
the starting point. |
