West Coast
The West Coast, an undiscovered treasure trove of unspoilt beaches, lies north of Cape Town and incorporates the West Coast National Park, well known for birds and spring flowers (in late August and September), and the West Coast Fossil Park in Langebaan and some Private Nature Conservancies. This rugged area offers some of the most diverse scenery and is ideal for adventure activities like surfing,diving,fishing,hiking and off-road driving. The West Coast offers the best seafood cuisine and local wines produced close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Also in the province is the Cederberg, an area of contrast where 71 000ha of rugged mountains are offset in spring by carpets of yellow, orange, blue and purple wild flowers. This area is well known for the San Rock Art (rock paintings), hot springs, hiking, rock climbing and bouldering.
We have created a tour packages that includes the best this area has to offer. The packages are flexible enough to combine the sea(Surf) and the mountains (Turf) if you wish! There are a variety of packages that cater for different times of stay as well!
If this does not suit your taste, budget or time of stay, you are more than welcome to contact us, to create your own itinerary!
We are flexible!
