West Coast Day Trip from Cape Town
Description
This day trip is aimed at those with little time to spare but want to learn a bit about the West Coast. Nature is at the heart of all of our trips. We begin the day with a stop at the beautiful Blaawberg Beach front for a Instagram worthy photo of Table Mountain. We always aim to share our history and culture with guests. This tour does exactly that, it explores San culture and allows you to go back into time to gain a greater understanding of our first people. A stop at the West Coast National Park is a must when visiting the area. During Spring the area is coloured by the beautiful wild flowers that are unique to this region (Aug to Sep). Highlights include the Langebaan lagoon and a possible swim if conditions are good. So pack that costume and join us for a day on the West Coast!

Start your day at Blouberg Beach, where you can capture the perfect shot of the iconic Table Mountain.
This is the only heritage center entrusted to preserve and retell the story of the first people. The San people from all over Southern Africa are dependent on this facility to preserve their heritage. This is an amazing facility that believes in sustainability and education.
Explore the West Coast National Park, a haven of natural beauty. During Spring, the park is adorned with vibrant wildflowers that are unique to this region. Highlights of the visit include the stunning Langebaan lagoon. If time permits and conditions are favourable you might even take a refreshing swim.
If time permits, we head to the Atlantis Sand Dunes for a guided walk. These dunes are a natural wonder, offering a serene and expansive landscape that invites you to immerse yourself in nature.

We had a fantastic day on our tour with Yamkela. He made our last full day here in South Africa memorable and we are thankful for all his knowledge and enthusiasm during the tour. The !Khwa ttu Heritage Center, the Western Cape National Park and surrounds are a must see when visiting Cape Town. This area is very much forgotten. Lunch at the Heritage Centre was exquisite. Thank you SouthernXplorer for a fantastic day.
Thank you for the lovely review and the great feedback, we truly appreciate it, we are delighted to hear that Yamkela ensured a wonderful last day in South Africa & that you enjoyed your time on the West Coast tour with us, was only a pleasure hosting you
We hade a great day together with our guide Asanda, he really made the day. It was a really relaxing day, fun and informative. Best way to discover Cape Town with kids is with your own guide and bus. Next time we are back in Cape Town and need a guide we will reach out to Asanda to guide us. /Andersson Family

Such a lovely bunch of people I went with & everything on the trip went according to plan. Amazing service by all of the staff on this trip!
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you had a good time and hope to have you on tour with us again.
Enjoyed all the info and we were surprised to see so many animals but not as many flowers as we expected. Would have loved more time at the beach in the National Park.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We do appreciate and value feedback. Yes, sadly as flower season is coming to an end there are less flowers in the park but we are happy to hear that you were able to see a few animals. We hope to have you on tour with us again!
Definitely something different! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the indigenous people of southern Africa. This tour is great as it incorporates elements of has sound, taste and sight, very different to your average museum experience. The guide Diane was super friendly and informative! Thank you Southern Xplorer.

Ricardo. I had a very exciting experience with him. He took me to the great photo spots. And also he can tell me some interesting story about nature. I’d love to join this tour again.

The guide (Ricardo) was a nice guy. I enjoyed every single thing in the tour. We could go in to the ocean in the middle of February.
Thank you for the review, we greatly appreciate it and happy to know that you enjoyed the tour with Ricardo
Thanks, Asanda. It’s an excursion that blends the historical side with the natural beauty of the west coast. For a few hours we were immersed in the San culture. Everything was very well organized. Langebann and his lagoon was the icing on the cake. Finally a place where you can swim without being cold. I recommend this excursion.
thank you for the kind review, we happy to know you had a great time on tour with us
