It was absolutely fantastic. Nathan is knowledgeable about the geography and history of the area. Our trip to the Cape of Good Hope was beautiful but it was pouring rain at Boulder’s Beach. Nathan accommodated us beautifully by pulling the van up close to the entrance to minimize our discomfort. The five hour tour was perfect, leaving us some time to relax in the afternoon.
