Fantastic day out with Horea, Bon Bon and Aqeelah. The guides were polite, very well informed. I did not envy Bon Bon te driver, but he did a great job on the narrow, winding roads. Thanks guys!!

The experience was GOOD. It was worth it, and also cost effective. We saw all we wanted to see. From our driver Bonisile, Akhile and Korea you did a good job.

We had a fantastic day seeing the sights around Cape Point with Horea, Aqeelah and Friday. The views from the bus are spectacular and we saw seals, baboons, ostriches and elands as well as the penguins. The staff were friendly and approachable. Horea delivered the tour and gave interesting insights without talking too much. There was plenty of time to see the sights ourselves and enjoy free time. The hike was the best part of the day and was not too strenuous. Everything ran on time and was well-organised. Bear in mind that you do have to make additional payments on the bus for the penguins boardwalk and for the entry to the national park (if you did not pay in advance). Card is accepted. You need to buy your own ticket for the funicular by queuing at the booth, if you want to use it. Food options are a little limited here so it’s a good idea to bring snacks. Most outlets seemed to be cashless. The bus was comfortable, spacious and air-conditioned. There was free WiFi and usb charging points (bring your own cables). There was water available to purchase. There was a toilet on board - this could definitely be advertised because I didn’t know this information before getting on, and it made the journey much more comfortable knowing it was there. All in all, a great day and a recommended trip.

What a wonderful trip! Our guides, Horea and Akilah and Friday, were welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. You pay for the park fee and Boulder’s Beach separately. I would also recommend sitting on the right side of the bus because the views are slightly better. We had free time at the Cape of Good Hope and then a guided walk towards the sign. Make sure you wear trainers/hiking shoes as I wouldn’t say it’s an easy walk. On our way to the penguins, we had a mini safari and saw a few animals in their natural habitat. We also got to walk around Boulder’s Bay at our own pace and see the cute penguins. If you’re looking for an intimate tour, bear in mind this isn’t it.
