I do not recommend shark diving. Expensive, cold, and kinda cruel

Highly recommend the Wine Flies tour for a wine tasting trip, they are amazing (and have nearly perfect user reviews across all platforms). Make reservations NOW at Test Kitchen in Old Biscuit Mill--one of the best meals I've ever had. Also check out the Saturday Neighborgoods market in Old Biscuit Mill.

Go to penguin beach, go shark diving, table mountain is meh, but def visit lots of wineries in stellenbosch

^ that plus take a drive to Hermanus, and of course to cape point.

And hike Lions Head instead of Table Mountain. A slightly shorter and less strenuous hike to the top (but still challenging), plus then table mountain is in the background--so better photo opps

High tea at the belmound hotel

Paraglide from table mountain

Old biscuit mill, go out in observatory (really chill cool area), go to Clifton & camps bay, hike lions head, see if there are any concerts at Kirstenbosch (the botanical gardens) - go there regardless, go to Moyo in stellenbosch, and go to Mizolis (it is a bbq spot in a township just outside the city)

Wineries!! They will blow u away! The scenery is unreal and some tastings are free

Like Franschoek even more than Stellenbosch. Check out Ruste en Verde if you are in wine country. Also, shark diving is a really bad thing to engage in because it brings sharks closer to shore and then associate humans with food. Really awful consequences for a quick adrenaline rush.
