Whale Watching from Land!

Hermanus, South Africa lies on the Western Cape two hours from Cape Town and close to the most southern point in Africa.  It is a major tourist destination in South Africa because it's simply the best place in the world from land to watch whales.  The peak time for whale watching there is from August to November.  During this time you can see whales everyday from a cliff path which runs the length of Hermanus.  There are many things to do there.  Whale watching, great white shark viewing, cage diving with great whites, diving, fishing, wine tasting, hiking in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve, beaches, sailing, paragliding from the mountains, and scenic drives with wonderful panoramic views.  ZAGOVA invites you to make a reservation with our friends at the Quarters Hotel in Hermanus.

No shoes, no shirt, no worries.....Jost Van Dyke, BVI

Feel like dropping out of sight for a while, try the Sandcastle Hotel on Jost Van Dyke.  An island of approxiately 8 square miles northeast 7 miles from St. Thomas and north 5 miles from St. John.  Just bathing suits and shorts needed.  Barefoot Living!

Soggy Dollar Bar is named from the fact that everyone has to swim to get there.  They have a clothesline in the back to dry out your money.  They just clip your bills to the line.  In front of the bar you will find hammocks strung between palm trees.  Having a "PainKiller" (the well known Caribbean Rum Drink) wil get a nice Island buzz going.  ZAGOVA!
