1.Karoo Tour
The desolation and beauty of the Karoo is a must to see. Due to the distance covered, it a two day tour, overnighting at the Owlhouse Backpackers lodge. We leave Cora Terrace at 10h00 and head off into the heart of the Karoo. Stop over in Graaf-Reinet, the ‘gem of the Karoo’ for a walk amongst the Cape Dutch and Victorian buildings and possibly a bite to eat. We then head off for Nieu-Bethesda, a tiny village in a seemingly forgotten valley, home to the intriguing Owl house and Camel yard – filled with glass and cement sculptures, with walls
decorated with mirrors and ground glass.
Overnight at the Owl House Backpackers lodge. We leave again at 10 am, taking a slightly different rout via Somerset East, where we stop for a visit at the Walter Battiss Art Gallery and pop in at Noah’s for a snack. Next stop Cora Terrace where we should arrive late afternoon.



Departure 10h00 Cost R350 (excludes meals, refreshments and accommodation) Return Late afternoon on the 2nd day
The days can be excruciatingly hot and evenings freezing cold so make sure you are prepared

2. BLOUKRANS BUNGY JUMP
Are you crazy enough?



The tour is suited for both the brave and the chicken-hearted, as there are various options at the Boukrans Bridge.

a. Bungy Jump: The 216 m jump is recognised by the Guiness Book of Records as the world's highest Bungy Jump.
b. The 'Flying Fox' is a cable slide (Foofie Slide for South Africans) and is less likely to paralyse you with fear. The slide is over the arch of the bridge to the middle where you can snigger at those jumping. Good combination to do both the Flying Fox and Bungy Jump.
c. Bridge Walking. This is not walking on the road above. Rather a caged walkway suspended under the bridge. Safe, but feels like you are walking in air with one scary fall below. We recommend you rather take the flying fox to the jump than do the bridge walk - known to change the minds of those committed to doing the jump.



Schedule: We leave at 7am. 2 Hour drive from PE and quite some preparation time before the bridge - stuff like how to pray in an emergency.
After the jump you can have a drink or twenty to calm the nerves and some chow.

On our way back we either stop at Jeffreys Bay or Storms River Mouth for a dip in the sea.

We also have a brief stop for a walk in the Tsitsikamma forest to visit the "big Tree'

Cost: R250 per person. This excludes the refreshments and the costs for the Bloukrans activities (Please note these can be quite costly, and at the last check was R500 pp for the jump and and additional R150 for the Flying Fox)

.3. Port Elizabeth Historic Tour

An ideal half day walking tour to get to know see the city. Port Elizabeth is the 5th largest city in South Africa and serves as the economic hub for the very poor region. Over the lst decade Port Elizabeth city centre has suffered urban decay although the authorities are doing a good job in trying to reverse the trend.



Cora Terrace itself is on the historical route and we wind our way from the residential area, through the city centre, climb lighthouses, and up to St. Georges Park, and back again. We may even stop for a quick beer at the oldest pub in town. While we are not historians we will try give you some insight into the city, its past and its current rejuvenation.



Cost: R100 per person. This excludes refreshments and any entrance fees to museums you may wish to visit. Please note that some museums may not be open when we do the tour.
Times: It is about a 3-4 hour walk and times can be discussed on booking.
