Travelers

The van curves along Chapman’s Peak as the Atlantic breathes against the windows and the guide leans in, not just to point out seal colonies but to steer the conversation toward stories the map often leaves out. On this private full-day tour, the landscape is more than coastline and cliffs: it is a stage for lived histories, a place where the region’s LGBTQIA+ past and present are untangled beside penguin colonies, vineyards and a dramatic promontory that pushes into two oceans.

Adventure Tips

Wear layered windproof clothing

Coastal winds pick up quickly on exposed viewpoints like Cape Point; a light shell and a warm layer keep you comfortable during photo stops.

Bring sturdy footwear

Short walks on sand, boardwalks and uneven paths at Boulders Beach and viewpoints require grippy shoes rather than sandals.

Charge your camera and phone

Long drives between stops make battery swaps inconvenient — carry a power bank for all-day photography and navigation.

Notify special dietary or accessibility needs in advance

The tour accommodates dietary requests and pickup points if informed at booking; this helps ensure seamless meal and transport arrangements.
