    What our guests say

    Last week
    Just got back from the day tour and wowwwww, what a jam-packed adventure. I went solo (my first time in SA!) and Candy and Litha made everyone feel like part of a big family group. Table Mountain was totally covered in mist at first, but then it cleared and the view was EPIC. I was legit speechless. The penguins were hilarious, waddling around like they owned the place. We did get a bit rushed at Cape Point but honestly, still worth it. Would do it all again.

    Had a super fun time with my partner! The weather was perfect (bit windy up on Table Mountain so bring a jacket). Loved the penguins—could watch them for hours. Wish we had a bit longer at Boulders Beach, felt kinda quick. Guide was friendly and knew all the best photo spots. Van was clean, snacks were provided (nice touch).

    Took the tour with my two teens and they LOVED it, especially the seals and the wild baboons (watch ur snacks, they’re sneaky). Table Mountain cable car ride was a highlight (line was like 20 mins, not bad). Guide Candy had so many stories, made it really interesting. Would totally recommend for families.
    May 2026
    Family trip with my parents—everyone agreed this was the best day of our Cape Town stay. The guide managed to share facts without sounding like a textbook, which I appreciate. Table Mountain was a bit crowded (tourist season probs), but still breathtaking. Loved seeing wildlife at Cape Point.

    Did this tour as a solo traveler and it was a BLAST. Everyone on the bus was friendly and Candy made sure nobody felt left out. Loved the boat ride to Seal Island (bring a hat, sun gets intense). Penguins stole my heart. Did get a bit hungry before lunch but totally fine. 5 stars!
