Select participants and date
You step onto the coast road as sunlight slants across the Atlantic, the surf hissing and daring the cliffs to hold. The vehicle eases past Clifton and Camps Bay; the Twelve Apostles shoulder the skyline like an old guard. Your guide points, not just to seascapes but to stories—shipwrecks, settlers, and the geological forces that tore the peninsula into the steep ridges you’re driving along.

Hydrate and sun-protect
Carry a refillable water bottle and sunscreen—sun exposure is strong on open coastal stretches.
Respect wildlife rules
Stay on designated paths at Boulders Beach and do not feed or touch the penguins.
