Discover Eastern Cape Virtual Tours

To harness the power of virtual reality technologies and capitalise on digital marketing trends the ECPTA developed 15 interactive Eastern Cape virtual tourism platforms of unique Eastern Cape experiences. These interactive tours afford users the opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience through taking a virtual tour of the various attraction from the comfort of their own homes and are compatible and accessible from most digital devices.

These experiences are even further enhanced when paired with virtual reality goggles and controllers and users can experience a full 360 degree immersive and interactive tour.

These interactive virtual tourism platforms are a powerful marketing tool where users or potential visitors can now experience first-hand what is on offer in the Province in an entertaining and interactive manner. These tours can be accessed from anywhere in the world where there is internet connectivity and is an exciting tool that can also be used for educational purposes and help those with disabilities to immerse themselves in various experiences that would not be normally accessible. Potential visitors that might be hesitant to travel during the Covid-19 pandemic can now experience some of the best experiences the Eastern Cape has to offer in the safety of their home and from any location.

The 15 experiences and platforms developed are: a Segway Tour; a Kayak & Lilo excursion; Sandboarding in Sundays River, an Ocean Safari; the Donkin Reserve; Addo Elephant National Park; Giraffe Safari; Valley of Desolation; Nelson Mandela Museum; Steve Biko Museum; Hole in the Wall; Hluleka Provincial Nature Reserve; Madonna and Child Waterfall; Baviaanskloof World Heritage Site and The Owl House.

These attractions and locations were strategically chosen to offer a mix of adventure, nature, marine and historic experiences with a wide geographical spread to be representative of most of the Eastern Cape’s tourism regions.
