Situated in the north-western corner of South Africa's rugged Northern Cape is the stretch of pristine coastline aptly named The Diamond Coast. These shores have remained virtually unknown to the public at large as it is within the restricted and previously forbidden diamond mining areas.
The valuable mineral treasures hidden within its sands have made these restrictions necessary but diamonds are not the only treasures. This Sandveld has been jealously guarded and while still largely unspoilt and crime-free is home to many indigenous plants, animals and insects.
The coastline, with its flowing dunes and mysterious shipwrecks, has been opened to the fortunate few who can participate in our organised guided tours. And any visitor to the West Coast or Richtersveld will find that a tour of The Diamond Coast will vastly enhance the experience of this unique mix of coastal plain and semi arid inland.
The tour packages are comprised of the following tours:
- The Shipwreck Route
- The Strandveld Route
- The World of Diamonds Mine Tour
- Biessiesberg Trail
