Paternoster Trips & Tours

Sun, sand and sailing boats in this charming village with some of the best restaurants in the Cape.

Unlike those leading to the famously delightful Franschhoek and the Winelands, the road between Cape Town and Paternoster is one less travelled. As a result, this tiny fishing village is somewhat of a local secret… And now we’re spilling the beans. With pretty whitewashed cottages, red and yellow fishing boats bobbing in the brilliant blue sea, and kilometres of untouched sand, Paternoster’s charm is captivating. Throw in some of the Western Cape’s best restaurants and the freshest seafood in the country and we defy you to fall in love with the place.

Things to do

What to do in Paternoster

Paternoster is one of the oldest fishing villages on the West Coast of South Africa, well known for lobster and its white-washed fishermen's cottages. Most attractions in Paternoster are a 10-minute stroll away and a day of wandering the streets is well spent. Dip into the local art galleries, devour fresh seafood in a beachside restaurant or search for souvenirs. If you’re feeling adventurous, quad biking, horse riding, snorkelling and kayaking can all be arranged, and the Cape Columbine Nature Reserve and West Coast National Park are both a short drive away.
