Private day tour along the west coast around Cape Town

Succumb to the charm of the west coast, which is largely untouched by tourism! In the villages along the west coast around Cape Town, everything is more relaxed than in the city. The attraction in the West Coast National Park is a turquoise lagoon with warm water and a white beach. Roosterkoeke (filled rolls baked on the grill) are a South African specialty along the way. In the "!Khwa Ttu" cultural center, we learn how the indigenous people of South Africa, the Bushmen, lived back then. The tour shows a different side of Cape Town, far away from the mass attractions. If you like nature and authentic experiences, the West Coast tour is just right for you.
