The Cape, Essential · Thursday 11 February 2027
Bareback through the Atlantic surf at Pearly Beach.
After five days of moving, this is a day with one thing in it worth getting up for, and nothing else required.
Swimming the horses in the Atlantic, bareback, through the surf at Pearly Beach. Not a walk along the sand, but out into the waves on a horse with no saddle, with a professional outfit and horses that have done it all their lives. Nobody needs to be able to ride: anyone new to it goes in with a handler on each side, so the whole party can do it together. Here it is. I will be in the water with them.
About forty minutes along the coast past Gansbaai.
An hour on the horses, with towels and something hot to drink on the beach afterwards.
The cliff path and the galleries of Hermanus, the paths up into Fernkloof above the bay, or simply the hotel and the sea.
The last evening on the coast. We suggest and book.
