Start Early to Beat the Wind
Traffic is lighter in the morning and the strong south-easterly wind (the 'Cape Doctor') often picks up after midday, making mornings best for coastal viewpoints.
Confirm Pickup Details
Provide exact pickup address and any flight or ship arrival times to avoid delays; drivers typically allow unlimited waiting time but confirm transfer points ahead of time.
Carry Small Cash and Card
Many local markets and smaller food stalls accept cash only; for museum entries and restaurants, cards are widely accepted but having both is best.
Plan Reservations for Popular Stops
If you want wine-tasting or a specific museum visit, book ahead—some venues limit same-day walk-ins during peak season.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Useful for short walks on cobblestones and rocky viewpoints.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is important in Cape Town’s sun and wind—bottled water is provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste.

Sun hat and sunscreen
Protects against strong UV, especially on open viewpoints and the V&A Waterfront.
