Hydrate and pace tastings
Carry a refillable water bottle provided on board and plan wine sampling responsibly—designate a non-drinking driver if needed.

Conservation Note
African penguins and coastal habitats face pressure from development and fishing; visitors should stick to boardwalks, avoid feeding wildlife and support park fees that fund protection.
The Cape Peninsula has long been a maritime crossroads; Simon’s Town has served as a strategic naval base for two centuries and the coast shaped early colonial routes.
