Best one-day tour (covers a lot)
This tour includes many sites in and around Cape Town. If you just have one day and want to pack in as much as possible, choose this tour. They made everything easy for us, handling transportation (including hotel pickup / dropoff), admission tickets, and frequent stops.

Penguins near the toilets
Driver on time to get us to Robben island ticket office. Took us inside and waited till boat boarding. Was distracted by mobile when asked for tickets. Was there when we arrived back from the island. The island is well worth a visit. A very moving experience. Saw penguins too at the toilet stop.

Lion’s Head Sunrise Hike
The sunrise hike of Lion's Head was a genuinely unique and amazing experience! Our guide, Idrees, was both friendly and knowledgeable about the mountain, local wildlife and botanicals, and Cape Town history and culture. If you can get your booking with him, you should do so hands down. The hike was definitely a physical challenge, so it should not be undertaken by the faint of heart. But the rewards are well worth the effort!

Informative, beautiful, well worth it.
You will experience the beauty of the Cape Shoreline and learn very much about the history of the area. We were visiting during June, which is their winter. It was around 64°F on one side of the mountain. It was cloudy. We crossed over a certain point and it was perfectly clear for the rest of the day you get marvelous views as seeing the penguins was delightful. David is an excellent well informed articulate Guide I would highly recommend him.

Half Day Boulders Beach and Cape of Good Hope
It was a wonderful day to experience the nature side of Cape Town. The Boulders Beach penguins were adorable and made me so happy to see. The views seen on the drive were incredible. Cape of Good Hope was an incredible experience, even having wild ostrich grazing by the rocky outlook to the ocean.

Great wine tasting..
Collected from the cruise terminal, headed straight to Stellenbosch, for a quick wander around the town, you don't Need long here, souvenirs / photos. On to Marianne vineyard,
Beautiful setting and a great biltong / wine pairing. (Yes we bought wine ) On to the next vineyard Fairview much bigger scale but very well set up. This time a cheese and wine pairing 6 fantastic bargain price wine, did not expect that. Great host at the vineyard (Yes we bought wine). Sean our driver / guide was Great. Slight issue with sound in the minibus. But he made up for this being very flexible with timing. Making sure we would be back to the port in good time. Despite me leaving my phone in the minibus 😔. After a call to Bosch travel. Sean was contacted and he drove all the way back to the port to deliver my phone. Now that's how you can tell a good honest tour operator and driver.. he was a star...

Happy and Memorable
We booked the activity just at the night before and they responded quite quickly to confirm it.
The whole event was well communicated and we enjoyed the process.
The paragliding was beautiful but a bit short due to very low wind that morning. Nevertheless, I did not regret doing this. Thanks Tandem Flight Co.

8/10 Solo travel friendly
This was a great tour 10/10 worth. Candy and Zane were great host. They were very accommodating. Tour starts at 8, mobile van with a/c and no large group. It is perfect for solo travelers. Lunch is not included but we stopped in a beautiful city before the wine tram for everyone to find a restaurant. Angel tears winery had to be my favorite but every winery has great tasting. Each one we spent a little less than hour there and candy stayed with us the entire time. I opted in for tasting included. Depending on your wine preferences it can be cheaper to opt out

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.

Dolphins, Seals & Penguins! Great experience…
Amazing experience kayaking with the dolphins (within 5 minutes), seals and even penguins!
Had never kayaked before but felt safe with the team / group and quickly picked it up - the modified boats making it easier to steer and balance… weather will also play a part in this but would trust the teams judgement.
Very relaxed once out at sea and not too strenuous, an absolute must if in Cape Town.

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.

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.
