## Itinerario del grupo
##
A private transfer brings you from the airport to your boutique hotel.
In the evening, head to the V&A Waterfront with your Soca Islands Host and the group for a welcome dinner, the first of several good meals this week.
##
Get on the water and kayak with penguins to Boulders Beach, one of the few mainland colonies of African penguins, then walk among them on the sand.
Next up is the Robben Island Museum and lunch with a guest who knew Nelson Mandela during his imprisonment. Later, a guide takes you through Bo-Kaap's brightly painted streets on foot, ending in a kitchen where you'll learn to cook curries and rotis.
##
Early risers can hike Lion's Head in the dark and watch the sun come up over the city; everyone else can sleep in.
After breakfast your time is your own: browse boutiques, swim at Camps Bay or pick any corner of Cape Town to explore.
##
Board a vintage tram through the Franschhoek valley, hopping off at historic estates for tastings. At one cellar you'll blend your own wine to take home.
The day ends with a long, relaxed lunch and paired wines in the gardens of a Cape Dutch estate.
##
Today is a road trip east along the Garden Route, with the coast and mountains for company.
Along the way you'll stop at a game reserve for a guided walk among giraffes, then carry on to Knysna, your lagoon-side base for the next three nights.
##
Suit up for a close look at a beekeeper's hives and learn why these pollinators matter so much.
Later, a community-led township tour introduces you to local residents and the grassroots projects they run. The afternoon is free for the waterfront's cafés and bars, or simply a slow wander.
##
Head into Tsitsikamma National Park, where rainforest runs right down to the ocean, and zipline between platforms high in the trees.
That evening, raise a glass at a farewell dinner in Knysna over the region's famous oysters and views of the water.
##
After a last breakfast, a private transfer takes you to Cape Town International Airport (CPT) and the end of the trip. Say goodbye to your Soca Islands Host and the friends you've made along the way.

## Preguntas frecuentes del viaje
##
Fly into and out of Cape Town International Airport (CPT).
##
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
##
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
##
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
##
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
##
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
##
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
1. **Consult with a healthcare professional:** Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
2. **Up-to-date medical advice:**
- **US residents:** Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- **UK residents:** Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- **Australian residents:** Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3\. **Government travel advice:**
- **US residents:** Consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
- **UK residents:** Check the FCDO Travel Advice.
- **Australian residents:** Visit the Smart Traveler website.
4\. **Medication tips:** If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
##
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
##
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
##
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
