These include golf, city and township tours (Port Elizabeth was the landing place of the British settlers of 1820, as well as being at the crucible of the Anti Apartheid movement, so there are many significant historical sites), marine safari to bird island, as well as day safaris to various game reserves including Addo, Schotia , Pumba & Amakhala (all within an easy 1hr drive).
