Have you tried: Whale and Dolphin Watching in Algoa Bay?

Fun Western Cape Fact: Want to spend a lovely day in one of the best public spaces that Stellenbosch has to offer? Then bring a picnic lunch to Die Braak, or the Village Green. Home to public events such as concerts, and spontaneous gatherings when the weather is stellar, it is THE place to people watch and enjoy the brilliant South African sun. When at Die Braak, take some time to look around the Church of St. Mary. One of the few thatched roof buildings left in town after previously mentioned fires led most to re-construct the town from more fire-resistant materials, it is one of the stand out architectural gems in town that make this place as charming as it is.
