Great South Adventure Tours - Trip One
Stargazing ; Route 62 ; Wine Farms - Round Trip 3000kms

All our trips start in Johannesburg. Departure time depends on the distance that we will

Day two is an early rise for Sutherland (Largest telescope in the southern hemisphere). Breakfast will be in Three Sisters. Arrival in Sutherland will be approximately 13H00.

The observatory is 15kms out of the town. After an indoor presentation we will be able to see the SALT telescope and various others from up close. Dinner will be at the Sutherland Hotel and for those interested, night viewing at the Observatory can be arranged.

This is a picturesque route. We cannot travel on this road without stopping at the famous Ronnie’s Sex Shop. This started as a bar/restaurant. Ronnie’s friends one night decided to change the boring name of Ronnie’s shop. They added the word sex and ever since it stayed. In Barrydale at the Country Pumpkin restaurant we’ll be greeted with a glass of sherry.
Here you can purchase route 62 wings or sheriffs badges. Then over the pass to Outshoorn, where we’ll stay over. On day three, should you choose, we can visit the Cango Caves and one of the many Ostrich Farms in the area. From here we will travel through Meiringspoort.
