All of these adventurous activities are close to Cape Town. They can be arranged a variety of ways, ranging from tour operators, to simply asking locals where the best surf is that day or for tips on their favorite hiking routes. Evenings, Cape Town has a lively nightlife. On days when you want to rest your body, take a tour of Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for many years, visit the Cape of Storms and photograph the tiny fairy penguins on your way back to town.
