Activity Type: Adventure & Adrenaline
Location: Noordhoek, Cape Town, Western Cape
Climb into a classic Land Rover Defender 4x4 with a local guide and embark on a scenic coastal drive through local villages. Your guide will take you off the beaten path and show you some hidden gems that most tourists miss. If the classic Land Rover Defender is not your style, we can also provide a more comfortable vehicle for the same experience.
Arrive at the Cape Point Nature Reserve and head straight off the main big bus route, down the quieter lanes known mainly to local surfers and fisherman. Take a short hike to a lookout point and enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Look out for the Marine Big 5 whale, shark, seal, penguin, and dolphin!
Escape the tourist crowds and go for a walk on an off-the-beaten trail. Your guide will lead you to a secluded beach where you can enjoy a refreshing fynbos, gin & tonic and some yummy snacks.
For those who fancy a dip in the ocean or natural rockpool, now's your chance!
The guide will drop you back at the initial meeting point around lunchtime feeling refreshed and invigorated after a half-day exploring the natural beauty of the Cape Point Nature Reserve.
Here there is the option to visit a nearby winery for a wine tasting. Learn about the region's winemaking history and sample some of the best wines in the area.
Or enjoy a fantastic lunch at a well renowned local restaurant.

At the end of the tour guests can either make their way on to their next activity or hang around for live music often showcasing the Capes' best musicians and comedians!
