The experience
Diamonds & Ocean
A slow, golden day by the sea. The morning's diamonds give way to the V&A Waterfront, with time to explore the working harbour, browse and linger over lunch.
As the light softens you board a sunset champagne cruise across Table Bay, with Table Mountain glowing behind the city. Your driver-guide meets you at the quay for the short drive home.

The diamond experience
Every Journey Begins With a Diamond
Each day includes time with diamonds in Cape Town: how they are found, cut and set, the craftsmanship behind a finished stone, and time to look closely in a showroom.
Buying is never part of the plan. If something catches your eye, you deal directly with the jeweller, and nothing you see is included in the tour price.
What's Included
- Private vehicle with your own driver-guide for the day
- Hotel collection and return within central Cape Town
- The Diamond Works' complimentary Signature Diamond & Tanzanite Experience, by appointment
- Sunset champagne cruise on Table Bay
- Lunch, up to R350 per guest
- Parking
Not Included
- Jewellery, diamonds, gemstones and rings, which you buy directly from the jeweller if you choose to
- Drinks from the cruise bar, other cruises and private charters
- Additional drinks, gratuities and personal purchases
- Flights, accommodation and travel insurance
- Collection outside central Cape Town, extra hours or changes after confirmation, unless quoted
