About this experience
Succumb to the charm of the west coast, which is largely untouched by tourism!
In the villages along the west coast around Cape Town, everything is more relaxed than in the city.
The attraction in the West Coast National Park is a turquoise lagoon with warm water and a white beach.
Roosterkoeke (filled rolls baked on the grill) are a South African specialty along the way.
In the "!Khwa Ttu" cultural center, we learn how the indigenous people of South Africa, the Bushmen, lived back then.
The tour shows a different side of Cape Town, far away from the mass attractions. If you like nature and authentic experiences, the West Coast tour is just right for you.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 2
In the San cultural center "! Khwa Ttu" we learn how the indigenous people of Cape Town, the Bushmen, lived in good time. Descendants of these hunters and gatherers demonstrate which traditions were important. With a little luck, we will also see wild ostriches and springboks on the premises.
3
At lunchtime we try “Roosterkoek”, breads grilled over an open fire, which are filled with all sorts of delicious things and are a specialty of the country.
4
Stop 4
We continue to the West Coast National Park, where the turquoise green of the wonderful lagoon is incredibly captivating. At least your feet have to be immersed in warm, shallow water.
5
On the way back we have a wonderful view of Table Mountain just before Cape Town and understand why it is also called the “blue mountain”. Here we stop for a photo because postcard quality is guaranteed. The tour shows another side of Cape Town, far from the mass attractions. If you like nature and seclusion, the West Coast Tour is the right place for you.
