Wonderful day trip
We had a wonderful experience with Rama as our driver/guide. Very professional and accommodating; totally at our own pace and selected spots we wanted to spend more/less time or skip. The views are spectacular and the penguins are so cute and fun to watch. We also learned about history of the Cape along the way. Thanks so much for a great day.

Just the Right Amount of Time
Great tour that focuses on the five star sites (penguins at Boulder Beach) and Cape of Good Hope without the fluff that many tours offer. Our guide/driver, Gordon, was excellent. He provided us excellent information and pulled over when we saw baboons, ostriches, and in hope of seeing a whale. I'd highly recommend for those who want a 9AM-3PM excursion.

Visit the BEST Vineyards & Hit the Tram
If you want to visit the best vineyards and hit the tram in one tour, snag this one with Kevin. He drove and entertained us with stories! I am a wine snob and bought several bottles at Duty Free because the wine is that good, especially Boschendal and Tokara. 10/10 recommend 🥰

Loved it!❤️
What to know:
1) it is doable going at your own pace. Just know that it is all uphill for 40-60 minutes.
2) starting before sunrise gives you amazing views of the city lit up in the darkness.
3) a guide isn’t essential, BUT going with a guide was
MUCH appreciated. Idrees had information he shared about the culture, history, fauna, and flora as well as knowing great places for photos.
4) we loved the hike!!!
5) highly recommended!

Great road trip to the southernmost tip in Africa!
The tour allows solo booking, which is a huge plus for solo travellers and rare in tours to Cape Agulhas. I was the only one scheduled for the day, but they still honored the tour and definitely delivered what they promised!
James was very helpful, accommodating, and insightful, and I learned a lot about the history, culture, and life in South Africa. We stopped at Cape Agulhas, Hermanus, and a few other stops along the way for sightseeing or breaks when needed.
Great road trip to the southernmost tip in Africa!

Do it!!!!
Absolutely worth it! It’s a short ride but felt long enough to get the experience. Highly recommend. The pilots are so kind! PS. Don’t schedule this on your last 1-2 days as the wind determines flight so you may need to reschedule for reasons out of their control!

Robben Island
We were on our 2nd day of a cruise. Pick up was offered by the tour operator which we accepted. However the ship is berthed within a 10 minute walk to the start point at the Robben Island Museum. So if you do not have any difficulty with walking I would suggest making your own way there. The trip itself was an excellent experience with an ex prisoner and the ex guard and subsequent good friend of Nelson Mandela were there to tell us about the place.

Brilliantly surreal
It has been a real privilege to get so close to such a beautiful animal. The team at Cheetah Outreach carry out excellent work in protecting these wonderful creatures.
I would also like to give a big thanks to my driver Simba. I found him to be professional, funny and a genuinely interesting person, and I thoroughly enjoyed his company on the road.

A Beautiful Tour and a Great Workout!
It was a fabulous tour. The guide was amazing and the location is breathtaking. It was quite a workout to do the two separate hikes - which are both totally worth it - but make sure you wear tennis shoes or hiking boots and clothes that you can move in. Such a fun tour!

Train to Elgin Market
We joined the train in Cape Town and were allocated to our seats for the day.
It was all aboard at 8 am and we commenced on our way towards Elgin.
We had a friendly coach manager giving hints and tips as well as a chance to learn about him.
We also had a waiter who brought a variety of food and drinks for the passengers.
The market is a must see place particularly for wine and foodies.
Great way to spend a day.

Great workout :)
It was a fun experience and the dunes are gorgeous! We got lucky and the rest of the tour didn’t show up so it was just me and my friend. There were also no other tours around which allowed for a great ‘just us’ experience.
We tried sandboarding as well. It was tough! I do wish thought we could sandboard as part of the ATV experience. We left our bikes and had to walk to and from sandboard place which, in sand and 30C, is not fun.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Cape Town’s coastline, culture, and Table Mountain backdrop make it tempting to stay in the city, but there are a whole host of adventures to be had if you venture out. Whether heading to the Cape of Good Hope or Robben Island, taking a wine tour through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, or spotting wildlife on safari, it’s all within easy reach. Along with expert guides and entrance fees, many tours include a delicious lunch stop, usually with a view, making Cape Town day trips the ideal way to experience the history, natural wonders, and wildlife reserves of the region.
