What was is like to grow up in Kalk Bay during Apartheid? Follow the footsteps of Latifah, a local to this small fishing village. She will tell her tales of a pure and simple upbringing with a fisherman as a father, and hair-dresser as a mom. Learn a bit of history of the communities and various groups that lived in the area, as well as get a feel and taste of the local food
Kalk Bay remained a mixed community of people from diverse backgrounds even during the Apartheid years. Even while apartheid was a law and prevalent , it did not affect their community due to the respect for each other despite colour creed. You will get a chance to explore the area before we head to an authentic local fish lunch experience.

What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?
We’ll control the weather. Just kidding! Remote Year can’t control the weather or many other factors that go into planning events. In the event of a change due to weather, the City Manager will do their best to provide a make-up option. Due to last minute changes and busy monthly schedules, we cannot guarantee it works for everyone but we’ll do our best! If you are not able to attend the make-up date(s), we will fully refund your booking.
I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?
Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.
Can I book for a friend / family member?
Yes! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. Please refer to our Friends and Family policy: Friends & Family (visitors of active Remotes and active Citizens) may be granted access to private Remote Year events, Local Experiences, Side Trips, Community Events, Local Amenity and Services at an extra cost determined by the Marketplace or City Team. Remote Year reserves the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using Remote Year services.
