Mossel Bay Travel Guide

 didgeridorien Says:  White Shark Africa is the only cage diving company in Mossel Bay, that is only allowed to cage dive around Seal Island. Sharks are only there during the winter months, so it's best to do it during that time because in the other months the chances of seeing a shark in the... 

 didgeridorien Says:  This museum stands at the spot where Dias first met the locals. It has a lot of information on the local history, maritime and an aquarium. In the big gardens around it stands the Old Post Office Tree, where people used to place their mail in an old shoe for it to be... 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is a diving company in the harbor, where I started doing my PADI Advanced. You can do several dives with them; the Dolosses are great for beginners, as it is a shore dive that doesn't go much deeper than 7 meter. You see a lot of stuff though, like anemones, sea... 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is technically not much of a beach, as there is very little sand. You can lie on the grass and the rest is rocky. It's great for snorkelling though, there's a wall where you can get down the stairs to get in. This is also where the more advanced people go surfing. 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is the beach in front of Diaz hotel. It is a very long stretch of beach with life guards during weekends and holidays. Because it's not as rocky as the other beaches, it's a great spot to learn to surf. There's also a waterpark next to it and a few restaurants. 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is a game reserve just a 15 minute drive away. I did a 3 hour game drive there and saw elephants, rhino's, giraffe's, buffalo, wildebeast, waterbok, impala, lions and more. If you haven't got time to go to one of the big game reserves, this is a good alternative.There's... 

 didgeridorien Says:  This beach is just next to the harbor. It is nice and sheltered from most wind directions and there's nice sand. There is a restaurant next to it, but there also are braai's, so you can cook your own food. 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is a seafood restaurant that serves good and cheap fish and chips. They've usually got specials going on, so you can get yourself a cheap lunch there. I had some pretty good calamari&chips there for 30 rand. 

 didgeridorien Says:  At this restaurant, it doesn't really matter wether you get pizza, a burger, steak or seafood, it's always great food. They also have weekly specials that get you a very cheap lunch or dinner. There's also a childrens room with video games (also fun for adults) and a... 

 didgeridorien Says:  This restaurant does traditional african food such as bobotie and also ostrich. Sometimes they buy kudu or springbok, although this is usually a bit more expensive. Kudu is a really nice meat, but I had 400 gram of ostrich there once and that was great too. 

 didgeridorien Says:  This is a predominantly white nightclub. There is a small dancefloor with a bar and couches and another seperate bar where you can play pool. If you come there more often, you'll notice that the DJ plays the same songs. It stays open till late though and usually has drinks...

 didgeridorien Says:  This is also a shop where you can buy great souvenirs and gifts. It has biltong, local produce, souvenirs and paintings. I bought a really nice painting of the lighthouse here. And shaved ice once when I had an hangover... 

 didgeridorien Says:  The lighthouse offers an amazing view of the town and the bay. If you get there early morning or late afternoon, you can often see the dolphins entering and leaving the bay. You can also do a tour of the lighthouse for 5 rand.
