You step onto the minivan as the Atlantic begins to flare gold; the driver eases along the seafront and the Twelve Apostles mountains tighten their silhouette against a lowering sun. Maiden’s Cove is first — wind tapping at the rocks while the ocean dares you to look farther. Camps Bay follows, palm-lined and cinematic, before the bus climbs toward the Table Mountain cable car.
