West Coast National Park

Let’s Explore the Weskus! Join our exclusive tour for an experience that not only highlights the breathtaking beauty of the Cape but also celebrates the enduring spirit of its people. The exclusive Postberg area of the West Coast National Park bursts open for visitors only in August and September - just in time to witness a dazzling, vibrant tapestry of wildflowers. From the classic favourite daisy to gems like orchids, vygies, irises, and viooltjies, every step brings a new surprise. Our day starts in Cape Town and head to !Khwa ttu Nature Reserve to learn about the rich culture of the ancient San people. We’ll accompany you to fascinating sites where every moment is a tribute to the past. Embrace an adventure where every step tells a story, and every sight leaves you in awe, gaining fresh insight into an ancient way of life. Next, we venture to the stunning West Coast National Park, a treasure trove of scenic views and wildlife. This picturesque landscape creates a serene backdrop for exploration and appreciation of nature’s beauty. Be amazed at beautiful fields of spring personified. As our day delightfully unfolds, we pause to soak in the sights and sounds of the park, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. The West Coast National Park is also home to the replica of "Eve's Footprint". Discovered in 1995 at Kraalbaai, these prints are unmistakable human footfalls fossilised in rock (formerly sea sand) and are said to have belonged to a young woman who lived 117 000 years ago. This makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human. Finally, we return to Cape Town, filled with the charm of the region and the warmth of new experiences. We look forward to sharing this special adventure with you! (You have the option of booking a tour with a professional photographer on board to capture your special moments for eternity!)

West Coast National Park: Private Day Tour Escape the city and discover one of South Africa’s most breathtaking coastal treasures on this full-day private tour to the West Coast National Park. Just over an hour north of Cape Town, this protected area is a haven for nature lovers, birdwatchers, photographers, and anyone seeking peace, beauty, and wide-open spaces. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Cape’s ever-changing landscapes, arriving at the West Coast National Park—famous for its unspoiled beaches, turquoise waters, and the shimmering Langebaan Lagoon. The park is especially magical between August and October, when the wildflowers burst into bloom, transforming the landscape into a vibrant carpet of color. But the park’s beauty isn’t limited to spring. All year round, it offers spectacular views, rich biodiversity, and a sense of serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere. The area is a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 250 species including flamingos, oystercatchers, kestrels, and kingfishers. Whether you're an avid birder or a curious traveler, the variety of birdlife is sure to impress. We take this tour at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to stop, explore, and enjoy the moment. Walk along miles of white sand beaches, dip your toes in the lagoon, breathe in the salty sea air, and listen to the sounds of nature all around you. There’s also time to enjoy a local lunch (optional) and perhaps spot some wildlife like eland, bontebok, or tortoises along the way. Your guide and host, Jim, is a Cape Town native who speaks both English and Swedish. With a deep love for South Africa’s history, culture, nature, and wine, Jim brings a personal touch to every tour. He’s a certified guide for all nine provinces and has spent years exploring the hidden gems of the West Coast. His tours are more than just sightseeing—they’re about connection, storytelling, and sharing the soul of the land. Jim’s easygoing style and local knowledge make every guest feel welcome and at ease. Whether you’re curious about the region’s ecology, want to learn about local traditions, or simply enjoy a good conversation, Jim is happy to tailor the experience to your interests. Ask him anything—he’s here to make your day unforgettable. This is more than a tour. It’s a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the West Coast like a local—with someone who truly loves it.

The tour departs at 07:30 AM from Cape Town’s V&A waterfront or your central city hotel and the route takes you past Blouberg where you will stop for a 5-minute photo opportunity of Table Mountain across Table Bay. The beautiful coastal road takes you past Melkbosstrand from where you'll follow the R27 to Buffelsfontein.  After a welcoming cup of tea or coffee you'll be transported in an open-top game viewing vehicle at 09:00 AM for a 3-hour long professionally-guided tour. After this mini safari leave these friendly people behind and go to the quaint village of Darling. First stop for an olive and wine tasting at Alexanderfontein farm. Next visit Darling Breweries for a taste of some of the craft beers in their range, while enjoying lunch at the same time. Darling Brew Tasteroom & Brewery offers an interactive and fascinating beer tasting experience in the tasting room and bar, which overlooks the working microbrewery.  After beers and lunch we make a quick stop at Darling Sweets to taste their homemade toffees before taking a short ride back to Cape Town via Bloubergstrand, where you can admire the most spectacular view over the ocean towards Table Mountain, after which you will be dropped off at your collection point.
