Beyond The Cape Tour Details
At Tafel Kaap Tours, our Beyond the Cape itineraries are crafted for travelers looking to seamlessly extend their journey. While Cape Town captivates with its mountains and urban energy, some of the Western Cape’s greatest natural marvels lie just beyond the city limits.
From the dramatic coastal cliffs of Hermanus—one of the world’s premier land-based whale-watching destinations—to the tranquil apple orchards of the Elgin Valley, the historic Cape Dutch architecture of Swellendam, and the wildflower carpets of the West Coast, our regional day and multi-day private tours show you the true depth of the Cape. Enjoy stress-free, luxurious private transport while your personal guide shares the history, marine life, and local secrets of every region.
