Cango caves

One of the really popular day outings from Sea Paradise is a trip to the Cango caves.
The drive is scenic as it crosses the Outeniqua Mts and meanders through the semi-desert of the Klein Karoo.

Driving just 70 km away from here and over the Outeniqua mountains lies Oudtshoorn, a charming Karoo town with many beautiful Victorian sandstone buildings.

Another 20 km further outside Oudtshoorn and you arrive at the Cango caves.

Before going in to see the caves, it is well worth seeing the video, mainly because there is footage of the recently discovered extensions of Cango; and it takes one`s breath away to see the brilliantly sparkling interiors fit for a king, like zillions of diamonds all round.

But mostly the caves are a wonderland journey. Enough said!

At the end of the day, its lovely to leave the heat of the Karoo and arrive back in Wilderness overlooking the ocean in time for a swim or sunset.

Summer Paragliding


Summer is just 2 months away and I thought I`d put in a teaser pic. Look at the intense blue sky and ocean, the expanse of space, of unspoilt beach, (no highrise buildings) and a true adventurer`s and nature lover`s destination.

One of the adventure sports, ie paragliding is something for everyone, ...and I say this because you dont have to fly alone,you can fly in tandem!! This way you sit in a harness with the tandem fundi and hey ......run off the hill and whoosh airborne and peaceful gliding. The time in the air is anything from 15 minutes to 1/2 hour and leaves you feeling invigorated and energised.

This is really fun, to soar above the beach, sometimes over the ocean and then finally land on the beach.

Ever felt like flying?

Try this for an eagles` perspective or in this case a seagulls`!

Oh, and Sea Paradise is right on the beach, pretty much in the middle of this stretch.

Loving to lounge


Some spring days here at Sea Paradise on the beach are still cool, ie 19 degrees C and so our recent guests Trish and Lilian took full advantage and found a corner in the sun in the comfortable upstairs lounge.
