Robben Island Half-Day Tour with Ticket, Hotel Pickup & Drop-Off

Julie_S, Jun 2026

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.

Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour

Karen_A, Jun 2026

From Table Mountain to Penguins and everything in between!

What started out as a foggy day turned in to sun filled beauty. Our tour guide Candace and driver Litha were awesome. Candy offered us options when the fog was looking to change our itinerary however the fog lifted and the day proceeded as planned. Everything was very organized and ran smoothly. It was a jam packed day however we never felt rushed at any of our stops. We chose the small group option and the van was clean and comfortable. A wonderful day filled with beauty and information about the Cape area.

Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike

Phillip_A, Jun 2026

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!

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour in Private Car

SUSAN_P, Jun 2026

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.

From CapeTown: Stellenbosch Half Day Wine Tour

Martin_R, Apr 2026

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...

Cape Town: Tandem Paragliding with the Experts

Adrian_K, Mar 2026

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.

Uncork the Cape : Stellenboch Half Day Wine Tour

Chris_B, Feb 2026

Our wine tour was truly...

Our wine tour was truly amazing. NaeNae gave us an experience we will never forget. It felt like a home away from home, yet there was something uniquely magical about it. There are rare moments in life when you meet someone who speaks to your soul, whether they realize it or not. She did exactly that. We felt an immediate connection — a kindred spirit and a genuine spark of energy. Some people are more than just a tour guide. Some people are truly worth meeting. We sincerely wish her happiness and success in all of her endeavors. In my personal opinion, she should already be leading something within the company. Allowing such talent to go unnoticed would be a real shame and a missed opportunity.

Kevin_S, Jan 2026

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.

#1 Boulders Penguins & Cape Point Full Day Tour From Cape Town

Jodi_A, Nov 2025

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!

Cape Town Quad Bike and Free Sandboarding

Ellen_P, Oct 2025

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.
