Activity Description

Trade city sounds for crashing waves and wild flower fields — this is the West Coast in all its raw, rugged glory.

We kick off the day with an immersive journey into the world of South Africa’s first people. At the !Khwa ttu San Centre, we step into the ancient traditions, stories, and survival skills of the San — a moving, insightful encounter that sets the tone for the rest of the day’s adventure.

Then it’s off to Paternoster, one of South Africa’s oldest fishing villages, known for its white-washed cottages, laid-back charm, and salty Atlantic breeze. Stroll along the beach, explore quaint craft shops, and keep your eyes peeled — dolphins and whales often make a splashy appearance here.

Now for the heart of the adventure: Cape Columbine Nature Reserve. This windswept paradise is your playground — and you get to choose how you explore it:
– Hike through the reserve, soaking in sweeping views of the Atlantic and spotting wildflowers (especially stunning from August), or
– Kayak along the rugged coastline, drifting past craggy outcrops and feeling the pulse of the ocean beneath you (additional cost R350).

Want to kick things up a gear? E-bikes are available as an optional add-on (R900) — cruise along the beach and through the reserve with the Atlantic on one side and a riot of wildflowers on the other. This unforgettable ride includes a celebratory glass of bubbly on your return.

For lunch, we support local by grabbing a fresh seafood feast or Surf n’ Turf at a nearby village market or café — straight from ocean to plate, as fresh as it gets.

Our final stop is the West Coast National Park, a jewel of natural diversity. Here, we’ll go on a relaxed game drive in search of eland, bontebok, ostrich, and a feast of birdlife. At the Langebaan Lagoon, flamingos flaunt their pink plumage while pelicans glide like old souls across the water. We end with a coffee at a quiet little bay — the perfect place to unwind, reflect, and watch the sun kiss the Cape goodbye.
