Great trip
Trip was very well paced. We were only in shuttle for 30min at a time. Had many stops, but didn’t feel rushed. Nathan was very knowledgeable. He tailored the trip to the groups interest (eg making an extra stop at one of the beaches). Kept the trip going smoothly even when we forgot to buy tickets to cape of good hope beforehand. We had a good time with our fellow shuttle-mates too, everyone was very friendly.

Amazing Tour around Cape Town
The Tour was really good. The Guider Jeff was really taking care of us the whole time and was explaining us the details of each part of the tour. Thank you Jeff!

Absolutely Phenomenal Experience
Experience were absolutely Phenomenal. The guides Tebz and Warren were simply amazing motivating, helping and keeping us safe throughout the adventure. They are excellent communicators and absolutely love their jobs. I recommend this to any family.

We were also lucky to see Dolphins
Bring snacks as can be long enough out at sea.

Cape Point and Boulder’s Penguins Full Day TourGrandTour10201525314, Sep 2026
Adventures, educational and fun.
We went to Cape Point and Boulders beach tour. We did not understand the instructions about the hike and where to find the red bus again. We got off at the top reception area and saterted our hike. At the top we heard other people that were on the bus that the bus will get us on the other side of think hiking trail. We felt lost and panicked because we were on time but did not see the bus or any other people that were on the bus with us.So during this panic episode I would like to suggest that we as passangers get a direct number to the bus that we are on to make sure we can communicate in any case of emergency. Also if something happened that needed medical attention, who can I phone for help???? So a direct number will be very helpful in case someone gets lost (like we did) or there is any other emergency.How will the exploretours know my personal name and number? If I get los or injured, how will the people (staff) on the bus know I am missing or lost?So my suggestion is to have the contact number of each passanger for these long and adventures tours and for the tourist to have a contact number directly to the bus.We really panicked. But overall the trip was fun.

Must do Cape Point and Boulders Beach
Amazing from start to finish 9:30 - 17:30. Neil was lovely very knowledgeable and helped us brush up on our history and geography!! Very well organised the team Neil, Wendy & Division were all super friendly & polite. You are earned snout admission fees and being able to buy tickets in the bus allowed us to skip big queues. Had a wonderful day thank you.

Fantastic day with Gerhard
Great day visiting Stellenbosch wineries. Gerhard was our guide, we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable or friendly guide, he certainly made the day good fun and we enjoyed his company. Felt like old friends by the end of the day. Would highly recommend

Time management
The experience was amazing and we had fun. My only concern was the time management wasn’t so good as we wanted to atleast visit 4 wine estates we end up with 3 because the time wasn’t enough for an entire day

Great Adventure, Great Guides, Great Fun!
We had a really great time at Africanyon River Adventure! We went as a group of 12 🇳🇱 and had a lot of fun together. It was a great mix of adventure, some adrenaline, and plenty of laughs along the way.Our guides, King Julian and Black Rhino, were both really funny, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a good time. They definitely added to the experience!Overall, it was a really fun activity and a great experience to do with a group. We would definitely recommend it! 🌊😄

Sebastian is the greatest!
Sebastian is an extremely knowledgeable guide and has many different aspects to add to the walking tour that are invaluable if you really want to learn about South African history. A real pleasure, even in the rain!
