The half day tour was the perfect amount of time. We were worried we would feel rushed, but we saw so much in our short time that it was perfect! Sadie and Mr Smiley were great drivers and host with some much information! They answered a lot of questions, stopped extra when we requested and helped us find some amazing stuff!

Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town

Neil_T, Jun 2026

The Best Way to See the Cape Peninsula in One Day

This was an excellent and cost-effective way to see the highlights of the Cape Peninsula in a single day. The smaller group size, comfortable van, and well-planned itinerary made it easy to cover a lot of ground without feeling rushed. The highlights for us were Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, and Boulders Beach. Seeing the African penguins up close was unforgettable. Our guide, Nana, was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to understand, and the driver did an excellent job navigating the winding coastal roads. We especially appreciated their kindness when my wife needed to stop at a pharmacy during the tour. They went out of their way to help us, which meant a great deal. If you're looking for an efficient way to see some of the best sights around Cape Town in one day, I would highly recommend this tour.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Shark Explorers. We did this with our three kids (ages 10, 8, and 6) and they could not have made it more fun for them. From the kids getting to feed birds in flight next to the boat, to helping them get their equipment on, to encouraging them when they got nervous, everyone was so amazing. We saw hundreds of dolphins, three whales, seals, and lots of sharks. This tour met all my expectations and more!

Solo Traveler Recommended

This was a very well organized full day experience. Charles was an exceptional guide and taught us interesting facts about wine and the region during the entire trip. I didn’t even nap on the bus because I was so interested. Division, our driver, provided a safe and smooth ride in rainy conditions. Thank you both!

Carol_M, Jun 2026

A Highlight of our Visit to Cape Town

May 2026, we had a fantastic day with our driver and guide, Angelo. He was very friendly and interactive with our entire small group. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting with cheese and chocolate and the scenery while travelling was spectacular. Angelo was obviously well versed in wines and wine making and his fun and respectful personality made for an unforgettable day. We would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky you will have Angelo as your guide.

Full day Table Mountain tour

First of all our tour guide Mireille was fantastic and she kept the whole group on time for each venue we were at or headed to. The experience of Seeing Table Mountain and The Cape of Good Hope along with the Penguins was amazing. I’d recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see all these amazing sights. It is a long day but so worth it!!!

Cape Town Day Safari – Aquila Game Reserve with Lunch & Park Fees

Christopher_G, May 2026

Tremendous safari experience from start to finish

From start to finish this safari experience was tremendous. Mr. Jeff was welcoming, funny and knowledgeable and from pick-up to drop-off was a pleasure. The facilities at Aquila were stunning, and we were greeted with delicious wine and food. Our lunch experience included a baboon stealing our food, which was a highlight for us - and the staff tended to immediately. While on safari, our guide Nicholas was informative and patient, stopping often to point out the animals and talk about their significance. There was no lack of animal activity, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Big Five Safari and Breede River Valley Guided Day Trip

Melinda_E, May 2026

Excellent Tour Operator...Opt for the Private Safari Vehicle if available!

Excellent communication from the tour operator. We recommend this tour provider because they facilitate you pre-paying for your safari to guarantee there will be a seat for you timed with your arrival at Aquila. We opted for the private safari vehicle, and thought it was worth the up-charge. We really enjoyed the wine/coffee stop on the way to Aquila. It nicely broke up the drive, and allowed us to get to know the other couple in our transport van (NOTE: private safari vehicle does not mean private transport from/to Cape Town). Our only wish was that we had more time for the buffet lunch...we were only allowed 45 minutes for bathroom and buffet before our safari departure (and with multiple safari vehicles going out at the same time, there were some lines). You should be aware this is a small game reserve with not a ton of animals. We were aware of this going in, but due to flooding rains during our visit, all of our other safari tours along the Garden Route were canceled, so we opted for the only day trip available from Cape Town. We saw some things on our private safari vehicle the other couple in our transport van did not see on their group vehicle. Not sure if it was just timing or if our private driver was able to alter his driving path better to see more. Our tour transport driver James/Jamie was on time, informative, and pleasant company on the journey.

Table Mountain, Penguins & Cape Point Group Tour from Cape Town

Annette_p, Apr 2026

Table Mountain and Beyond!

Gordon was a wonderful, experienced travel guide. Any information we needed to know he imparted to the entire group. Unfortunately…it is fall here so it rained pretty much the entire day. Although there was no way we could partake in Table Mountain…the other sights were Wonderful…especially the penguins! There were many sights to see and I, at least, enjoyed the entire trip!

Full-Day Franschhoek Hop On Hop Off Wine Tram Tour from Cape Town

Noks_N, Mar 2026

Our Franschoek wine tram day 💕

This was a great experience. Do take your own money along, as you pay for your tastings at the different estates. The time in-between the pick up is rushed though, it's impossible to finish all the 6 or 7 assigned estates in 1 day. A wholesome and lovely experience.
