Tailor made holidays Coasteering in Cape Town is a 'great way to explore' the area

Thrill-seekers on tailor made holidays in Cape Town may find it enjoyable to explore the South African capital by 'coasteering', according to travel advice website Wanderlust.

In a feature about adventure travel in the African country, a writer for the online advice centre recommended coasteering around the city as "a great way to explore".

Coasteering is a relatively new past-time which includes taking part many different activities around the coastal area of a country: from swimming to climbing to diving.

"Grab your wetsuit and climbing shoes – the new sport of coasteering will see you clambering over rocks, diving into the ocean and swimming your way from cliffs to coves – a great way to explore South Africa's rugged Atlantic coastline," the article reads.

"Head to Cape Town for a slightly warmer experience – its microclimate takes the edge off most coastline chills."

People heading to Cape Town on a tailor made holiday may also wish to take in the views of Table Mountain, which is a symbol of the area, even appearing on the city's flag.
