Activities at the harbour

Most guests do an activity before or after a cruise, or with lunch or sundowners at Zanzibar Beach Café. Book one on its own, or build a whole day around it.

Activities depend on availability and the weather, and some need booking ahead, especially on weekends.

Things to do

The team can book them

Between the Magaliesberg and the dam, Hartbeespoort is one of the North West's busiest leisure areas. The harbour is a convenient base, and the team gladly helps with bookings and recommendations.
