Select participants and date
The Jeep rattles to life before sunrise outside your hotel and the city slides away—salt air sharpening as the road climbs toward the ridge. In an open-top vehicle you feel the coastline before you see it: the ocean daring you across a horizon of silver, the 12 Apostles mountains folding like pages along the shore. Camps Bay flashes by, surfers bobbing like punctuation, and Chapman's Peak Drive unfurls in a series of hairpin curves with sheer drops that make the camera itch.

Adventure Tips
Book morning departures for better light
Chapman’s Peak and Table Mountain read best in morning or late afternoon light; midday can be harsh for photos.
Tell them about dietary needs ahead of time
The tasting includes a set cheese board—notify the operator before pickup if you need vegetarian, vegan, or allergy accommodations.
Bring a windproof layer
The peninsula is exposed; even warm days can have cold, gusty coastal winds, especially in an open Jeep.
Secure loose items in the Jeep
Open-top riding and off‑road sections can jostle phones, hats, and cameras—use straps or pockets.
