Itinerary
Discover immeasurable beauty along the Western Cape’s West Coast. During Flower Season (Aug – Sept) the landscape is covered in a myriad of colours, while year-round the unique countryside offers a contrast between wilderness and ocean. This private tour offers you the flexibility to choose how long you would like to spend in the West Coast National Park, and what you would like to do. There are many short walks and hiking trails; the up-close detail and beauty accompanied by the wonderful scents, will remain with you forever. For lunch, you’ll have the option to decide between two fantastic restaurants; one within the park, and the other in the seaside town of Langebaan. Feel free to ask your guide for his recommendation. End-off the day sipping delicious sundowners and drinking in the views of Table Mountain and the Mother City from Blouberg Beach. — Itinerary — After pickup from your Cape Town accommodation, you’ll travel in a comfortable minivan, stopping along the way at a farm stall on the R27. Arriving at the West Coast National Park, you’ll have roughly three hours to enjoy the park and its picture-perfect scenery. Explore this bird lovers’ kingdom situated along the Langebaan lagoon’s azure waters. The strandveld bursts into a tapestry of wildflowers during spring (Aug-Sept), where you might also spot wildlife, such as ostriches, eland, bontebok, springbok and tortoises.
Choose to drive along the scenic routes or hike along the 4.6 kilometre Bakoor trail with views of the Langebaan Lagoon. Starting at the Langebaan gate, and taking you through to the Seeberg View Point – which is an ideal place to spot some of the rarer bird species found in the park, including the Curlow Sandpiper, Sanderling, and Knot. Alternatively, the 7 kilometre Geelbek trail take you all the way to the beach.
For lunch (optional extra), choose between staying in the park or moving on to the quaint seaside town of Langebaan. If you would like to remain in the park, dine at Geelbek restaurant, situated in an old Cape Dutch building, offering an array of West Coast traditional delicacies. If you wish to explore a little more, and enjoy a seaside setting, then lunch at Pearly’s restaurant in the charming fishing town of Langebaan is a must. Situated on Langebaan’s main beach, with views of the lagoon, this rustic restaurant offers delicious fresh seafood as well as pizza and pasta. The journey back to your accommodation in Cape Town is broken-up with a stop for sundowners on Blouberg Beach. This is the ideal place to snap that iconic picture of Cape Town, with Table Mountain as its majestic backdrop. From here you can expect to arrive back early evening.

A very relaxing trip to the West Coast National Park. Took a nice easy hike through the park seeing numerous Elands and early flower blooms. Great lunch at a local seaside town. Saw Ostriches and giraffes in the park and along the drive. Excellent, pleasant and caring guide Denver made it quite a special day. Great!

We’re especially happy to hear guide Denver made the experience feel so special with his caring and friendly approach - we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. From, Team Hotspots2C
We had a great time exploring the West Coast National Park, visiting Langebaan for lunch, and capping the trip with coffee/cocktails at the Blue Peter Hotel in Cape Town. Gerhard, our tour guide, was very informative and knowledgeable. Our first stop was breakfast at the West Coast farm stall for coffee and rusks. It was our first taste of rusks. We loved it. At the park, we were lucky to spot a herd of Elands by the road. We had a close-up view. We saw a family of Ostriches. We took a 2 km hike of the Bakoor trail and spotted a turtle (Angulate Tortoise). Neat. We had great pics of the scenic coast and lagoon. Thanks Gerhard!
Thank you for your exceptional feedback on the West Coast Wonders Private tour. It’s great to hear you enjoyed exploring the park, spotting wildlife, and taking in the beautiful coastal scenery led by your local guide. Sounds like you had a true local tastes experience too... We’re glad guide Gerhard’s knowledge added to the day and made it even more memorable. By joining this tour, you’ve also supported our #tour2Cchange initiatives, contributing to local community and conservation projects along the way. From, Team Hotspots2C
It’s a bit of a long drive, but if you’d like to walk/hike, it has wonderful options. We took one 7 km hike that was in land. We recommend you take any hike that is on the coast because it would be more scenic. We enjoyed our hike because we felt like we were on the plains of Africa, but at the same time we were in the West Coast for a reason to see the coast. Later, we spent some time on the beach and that was very nice. our Guide TK was incredibly insightful, intelligent, sensitive, gentle, and totally amazing. We were so blessed to have had him as our guide. Thank you, TK!
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the hiking experience and time on the beach - it’s true, the coastal routes of the West Coast offer some beautiful scenery, but some hiking coastal routes are protected and not always open out of season. It’s wonderful to hear your guide TK made such a meaningful impact with his insight and caring approach. We’ve shared your kind words with him and our office team too.

This Tour exceeded all expectations. Gerhard, our guide was amazing. He was very professional, informative and friendly. We saw the magnificent wildflowers and plenty of animals and we had a beautiful lunch and a lovely sundowner at the end of the tour. Oh and we were given a lovely ‘penguin’ support bracelet which we wore our whole tour. It is nice knowing I’m some of our $$ are going to a great Cause. We highly recommend this Tour.

The tour of Westcose National Park was amazing, just filled with flowers as far as the eye could see, and it was also great to see so many endemic wild animals, birds and plants of South Africa. Just very unfortunately, $200 disappeared from my wallet while I was on tour. I noticed that I didn't spend any cash there, only my card, and when I got home to my hotel I didn't have $200. I left the bag in the car for just five minutes. Everyone around you thinks you're a thief, so be careful!
Dear Akiko, thank you for sharing your wonderful tour experience - we’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the incredible scenery and wildlife that made the experience so special. However, we were truly shocked to hear about this unreported incident regarding the missing money. We take matters like this seriously and have thoroughly investigated the situation internally. According to our guide, who has worked with Hotspots2c for many years with an impeccable track record, the vehicle was always locked during the tour. He has successfully guided over 4,000 guests without any previous incidents of this nature. We reached out to assist you in logging this case with the police and the national park, but have not received any feedback to assist. We would gladly continue to help with any investigation into the missing funds should you wish to report it for your personal insurance. It is unfortunate (and unfair) that this incident of the missing money was not brought up with us directly or the guide during or after the tour. As the case was not communicated to us directly it was not easy to follow up quicker. According to our findings there is a large possibility that the money could have also been misplaced or lost at another point in time. We are delighted that you loved the tour regardless and our tour guide also enjoyed taking photos and videos while enjoying the wild flowers in spring time too. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of further assistance.
I booked this day trip from Cape Town as my husband and I love nature and wanted to see the fynbos. I couldn't recommend this trip enough. We went in September which was the perfect time for the flowers and our wonderful guide Gerhald took us to a local farm shop, some fantastic bird watching and animal observing spots throughout the national park. Gerhald was really knowledgeable and took his time with us so we never felt rushed. We were lucky to see so much wildlife and a beautiful sunset on the way back into Cape Town. It was really worth saving up for and will be a day we remember forever.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback on the West Coast Wonders Full Day Tour. We’re so glad you experienced the beauty of the fynbos at the perfect time of year and enjoyed the wildlife and peaceful pace of the day. It’s great to hear guide Gerhard’s knowledge and care made the experience even more special - we’ve shared your kind words with him too.

Great day exploring the West Coast National Park and surrounding areas with our fabulous guide Gerdhard, who was very informative/knowledgeable about the area. He took us to a quaint farm stall for morning coffee and rusks, then onto zebra spot within the National Park. Blossom season in full bloom and lots of time to explore which was great, then onto Pearly’s in Langabaan for a bite to eat (great food) then sundowners watching the sunset on Table Mountain. A really enjoyable and relaxing day.
