Kaapwagter - Half Day Cape Point Safari

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. Useful tips: Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers, as the weather can be unpredictable. Don't forget your sunscreen and hat, as the sun can be strong in this part of the world. Bring a camera to capture the stunning scenery along the way and lots of enthusiasm! 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!

Kasteelspoort Hiking Route

Path & Peak Adventures
Activity Type: Adventure & Adrenaline Location: City Centre, Cape Town, Western Cape

Kasteelspoort is a classic and beautiful Table Mountain route which should not be missed. It is longer, more forgiving and more scenic than many of the mountains other routes. The ascent is more forgiving than other routes and guides hikers up a massive ravine known as Kasteelspoort (Castle’s Gate) towards the top, but not before passing Breakfast Rock – the site of the old cable car lower station and an amazing place to have, well, breakfast, or a light snack. Once at the top of the initial ascent, hikers will be taken to probably the most famous photography spot on the mountain – the diving board. This is a surfboard like rock that juts out over the abyss one has just hiked up. It is not for the faint-hearted but is well worth it for the picture. From here, Kasteelspoort hikers will then make their way through the Valley of the Red Gods, an undulating 2 hour walk towards the Table Mountain summit. Along the way are amazing sections of flora to look out for. Once on the summit, hikers will be afforded amazing views of the City Bowl, surrounding Oceans and Robben Island and there will be the chance to take an extended break at a semi-secret location and simply absorb all of the amazing surroundings. Having taken any and all desired pictures, you will slowly make your way to the cable car station having ascended one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Transport is complementary to the first 4 pax booked (subject to availability).
