Ama ‘TUK-TUK Beacons of<br />

Hope’ Tour<br />

This is a delightful blended tour on board a zippy 3-wheel, open<br />

Tuk-Tuk - a modern day motorised rickshaw. From Bayworld, the<br />

tour zips off to the southern tip of Algoa Bay and visits the working<br />

Cape Recife Lighthouse. Situated within the Cape Recife Nature<br />

Reserve, the fully functioning lighthouse has been warning sea<br />

captains of the lurking Thunderbolt Reef since 1851.<br />

Here one has the opportunity to walk on the wild side and take in<br />

the history, spectacular coastal views and fresh sea smells, or dip<br />

your toes in the ocean and allow the warm sand to massage your<br />

feet before zipping off back along the coastline to another historic<br />

attraction, The Donkin Lighthouse and Pyramid.<br />

Situated on a hilltop overlooking the sweeping Algoa Bay, the<br />

Donkin Lighthouse towers over the Pyramid which was built in<br />

1861 by order of Sir Rufane Donkin. Besides scaling the lighthouse<br />

for remarkable views over the city, you can learn about the tragic<br />

love story that led to the naming of the City of Port Elizabeth.<br />

You can also venture further into the area surrounding the Donkin<br />

to enjoy some of the sights of the historical suburb of Central, part<br />

of the Donkin Heritage Route. The Tuk-Tuk tour comes free with<br />

your Nelson Mandela Bay Pass.<br />
