His knowledge was immense & he was happy to answer all the questions. He gave us plenty of time to view buildings & told interesting stories.

This location is a much better penguin site than Boulder's Beach - more penguins (8000+), more scenic and less crowded. There are other wildlife present as well, including rock dassies, Egyptian geese and other seabirds.

The booking and payment process was not professionally handled - I had to follow up on the confirmation of the booking and was sent the incorrect quote and invoice. On the day of our tour, our guide did not take us on the route/to the sites as advertised and described on the website. We paid for the experience which was advertised and this was not delivered. Further, we were made to pay for our wine tasting which was meant to have been included in the price paid for the tour. Wouldn't recommend. Read more Written January 4, 2019
  • amowen 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Ensure driver knows what tour he is doing! We booked full day tour whale watching to Hermanus, to include boat trip, light lunch and visit to nature reserve and botanical gardens. The day started well with on time pick up at hotel and arrival in plenty of time for boat trip, which was amazing and many whales sighted!. The driver then thought he was taking us straight back to hotel. After a phone call it was apparent there was miscommunication between the office and our driver, who was then directed to take us to Stony Point to see penguins and on to botanical gardens. Unfortunately the light lunch appeared to be a bag of crisps and a coke on the boat as all other efforts to get food were thwarted due to power cuts and café closures. Our driver was very apologetic and took us a very scenic coastal route back to Cape Town. A good trip in the end just make sure you clarify with driver at start where he actually is taking you!

On the first tour which had been booked and paid for through Viator) the guide had no idea what he was supposed to be doing and took us too the wrong place where he spent half an hour on his cell phone before I insisted that he take us back to our apartment. We advised the company and Viator about the problems, asked for a refund and to date have never received a reply from Guru Tours. Viaor says they are still waiting for an explanation. Unfortunately we had a second tour booked with them (too late to cancel) and they sent the same guide who once again knew nothing. This time we never got into the vehicle. Again no response to our complaint and no refund. Read more Written March 30, 2018

Think no further than Hartbeespoort Dam and know this – what you are really after is the best Harties buffet Sunday lunch around the dam!

Airboat Hartbeespoort

If you want to explore Harties in different and perhaps more “in touch with the environment” type of way, why not try the airboat?

Airboat cruises are a unique and thrilling way to explore waterways, particularly in areas with shallow waters and vegetation that traditional boats can’t access. Here are some things that make airboat cruises good:

Airboats are quiet compared to other motorized boats, so they don’t disturb the wildlife and won’t scare the birds away.

The Unique Experience: The sensation of gliding over the water with the wind blowing in your face, and the sound of the propeller creates a unique and thrilling experience that is hard to replicate with other modes of transport.

Airboat Africa offers cruises in Hartbeespoort of both the dam and the Crocodile River. These can be experienced as separate packages or as a combo with the prices listed below.

Crocodile River – 30 minutes – R395

Harties Explorer – 60 minutes – R495

Crocodile + Harties – 90 minutes – R795

Overall, airboat cruises are an exhilarating way to experience the outdoors and get close to nature. They offer a unique perspective of waterways and are perfect for anyone looking for a bit of adventure while exploring the great outdoors.

The narrowest part of the river is the Kremlin area in the city center, and the most extensive is around the Luzhniki Stadium in the south. 

Bridges in Moscow

Undoubtedly, bridges and embankments are among the most scenic spots and main attractions of Moscow. Plus, they are so romantic.

  • Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge –  Great Stone Bridge –  is the main bridge of Moscow . The first stone bridge was constructed here in the 17th century.
  • Patriarshy Bridge  is one of the youngest pedestrian bridges, built in 2004. The bridge connects the iconic Christ the Saviour Cathedral with funky Bersenevskaya embankment, extremely popular place among locals for its trendy art galleries, cafes and panoramic views. Patriarshy Bridge used to be a shooting location for ex-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's New Year speech to the nation.
  • Borodinsky Bridge,  erected in honor of the 100th anniversary of the glorious victory in the Battle of Borodino (which every Russian kid knows about), a fierce legendary battle during the Russo-French war of 1812.
  • Bagration Bridge  one of the  pedestrian bridges with most picturesque views of the Moskva River with its numerous upper-level observation platforms. The bridge was erected to celebrate the 850th anniversary of Moscow city in 1997.
  • Krymsky Bridge  used to be in Top 5 Europe’s longest bridges some 100 years ago. The bridge got its name after the ancient Krymsky ford which Crimean Tartars used to invade Moscow in the 16 th  century.

Embankments of Moscow

Moscow river boats 37 embankments, the most popular being Kremlevskaya, Sofiyskaya, Pushkinskaya, Vorobyovskaya and Kolomenskaya.

You can get the most spectacular views of the Kremlin from  Kremlevskaya and Sofiyskaya embankments.

  • Pushkinkaya embankment  is the most romantic in Moscow. It meanders along Gorky Park and Neskuchnyi garden and is rich for all kinds of entertainment as well as cozy nooks, including Olivkovy beach, the famous Zeleny theater as well as a pier for river cruisers.
  • Vorobyevskaya embankment  is part of Sparrow Hills nature reserve. This place opens a beautiful panorama of the river and city from the observation deck and is considered to be the place for taking serious decisions in life.
  • Embankment in Kolomenskoye  Museum-Reserve has a special charm due to its peculiar geographical relief. The boat trip around Kolomenskoye would be the most peaceful in your life.
  • Taras Shevchenko embankment  is popular among photographers for its modern Moscow City skyscrapers. Highly recommended for your night boat trip.
  • Embankments of Moscow are the pride of the capital. A distinctive feature of each of the promenades is its architecture and beautiful views. In addition, almost all the embankments of Moscow have a rich history and a lot of notable buildings.

Different epochs

Taking a walk along the Moskva River by boat, you will witness the architecture of Moscow from different eras and styles. Archaeological studies indicate that already in the XI century there stood a fortified settlement on Borovitsky hill, which is now called the Kremlin. Little fortress could not accommodate all the residents of the rapidly growing city, and the Grand Duke ordered the construction of a new Kremlin, larger than the former.

Boat trip around Kolomenskoe Park

Moscow river boat trip starts from the pier Klenovy (Maple) Boulevard and provides reat views of Nicholas Perervinsky monastery.

Nicholas Perervinsky monastery was founded at the time of the Battle of Kulikov (1380). The monastery, got its name from the surrounding area – “Pererva”, which can be translated like “tear off” and because of the location –  here it abruptly changed its course, turning to Kolomna, standing on the opposite bank.

Nowadays Kolomenskoye is State Art, Historical, Architectural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve, which doors are open to everyone who wants to get in touch with the ancient history of Russia.

Take a break from the big city hustle in the shady parks and gardens of the Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve. Don’t miss a wonderful Church of the Ascension and Tsar Alexey’s Palace in Kolomenskoye!

Monasteries and temples

  • Novospassky Monastery
  • Founded in the 13th century on the site where now is located the Danilovsky monastery. After a few decades, in 1330, Ivan Kalita moved the monastery onto the Borovitskii hill of the Kremlin. However, in the 15th century, Spassky Monastery again moved, this time to a more spacious place on Krasnoholmskaya waterfront.
  • Church of St. Nicholas in Zayaitskom
  • Erected in the middle of the XVIII century in baroque style. The building survived after the 1812 fire, but the utensils were destoyed. Parishioners collected donations and restored the temple on their own. In Soviet times, it was closed and re-opened only in 1992.
  • Cathedral of Christ the Savior
  • The church was originally erected in honor of the victory over Napoleon and was being under construction for long 44 years. Notoriously demolished in 1937 to be a giant swimming pool under open sky. The current building was constructed in 1990s. It is the tallest and one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world.
  • The temple was built in 1679-82, during the reign of Tsar Fedor Alekseevich, in late Muscovite Baroque style and can be characterized as bonfire temple. Each gable is a symbol of a heavenly fire.
  • Novodevichy Convent
  • The most famous concent and monastery in Moscow, presumably founded in 1524. Novodevichy’s status has always been high among other monasteries, it was in this monastery where the women of the royal blood, the wives of Tsars and local rulers of Moscow were kept in prison as nuns.
  • St. Andrew’s church  (male acts as Compound Patriarch of Moscow)
  • St. Andrew’s church stands right on the slopes of the Sparrow Hills, on the way down to the Moskva River, on the territory of the Nature Reserve “Sparrow Hills”. The monastery is small in size but is very cozy. It’s situated in a quiet courtyard surrounded by temples, fruit trees and flowers.
