You can visit the lighthouse and also the Southern Tip of South Africa where the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean separates.
2nd stop
On the second day, we drove a bit more on the east side to this amazing lodge where we could go for a safari game. The place itself has amazing view, amazing food and in the afternoon you go for a game and you can encounter lions, rhino, elephants and much more. We stayed 2 nights there which is more than enough.

We chose this accommodation because simply it is close from the shark cage diving. We haven't seen any white sharks but we did manage to have encounters with copper sharks.

4th stop
For the next stop, we went to Hermanus. It is usually a place for surfing but also a good place to see whales, either from the beach or with a tour.
We stayed at this lodge which the owner was great and making Braai (BBQ) every night!

For whale watching, i don't remember which one we took, but there are many tours that you can find next to the harbor.
