About this experience
We, the owners, do the tours ourselves and seldom farm out tours. We would definitely go to places where most others do not especially in Cape of Good Hope and the little towns beyond.
We will elaborate about our history, people and current affairs as it is and not dress it up.
We will always conduct the tour to suit the people on board re - their interests, pace and ease of conversation.

Detailed itinerary
1
From the vantage point of the Shark Spotter, you can see the surfers below, Seal Island in the distance and beyond, the Hottentots Holland Mountains. In season there is a good chance to spot whales in the bay but the views are breathtaking year round.
2
A photo stop at Jubilee Square, Just Nuisance statue and time out to get a coffee and see the facades of the buildings of yesteryear with a British feel.
3
Stop 3
Enough time here to see the penguin colony and a walk to the actual beach where you too can see some penguins up close. The whole area is filled with natural beauty.
4
Stop 4
This place is has an abundance of endemic flora and we go off the beaten track to see and appreciate this unique natural beauty. We take you to places where most visitors sadly don't get to see. We also go to Cape Point - lunch at Two Oceans restaurant and then a pic stop at The Cape of Good Hope.
5
This scenic cove ticks many boxes in terms of scenic beauty - quiet, white beach, rocky outcrops, small coastal hamlet, lots of bird life and good surfing spot.
6
We are of the very few operators that make this a must stop. It has quaint little shops amazing ice cream and coffee and provides an insight of how the locals hangout and country style life.
7
Stop 7
Certainly one of the most scenic coastal drives in South Africa (and beyond). This 100+ year old winding road is built where the granite bed and the sand stone and shale layers meet and some interesting engineering makes this drive memorable. We stop at the summit of this drive for pics across the bay and of the road.

Stop 8
Playground for the beautiful people ! We stop at a vantage point for photos with the amazing backdrop of the seaside town with its many restaurants and ideal place to watch sunsets.

Stop 9
This is and add on for those that cannot do this on another day. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens showcases South Africa's diverse flora and in particular our unique Fynbos. It is a well manicured garden where you will have an hour's leisurely stroll.
10
Another Add On worth the time. This wine farm set on the mountain side of Noordhoek has WOW views of the beach, mountains and the village. The wine is good too and it is hardly busy.
