Review of Cape Town’s 90-minute luxury sunset catamaran cruise, with Prosecco, Table Mountain views, marine life, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.

“This was a great experience. Executed very professionally and they served my favoritest champagne. The sunset was absolutely amazing. Only problem was I LET MY PHONE BATTERY DIE and only have a few beautiful pics of CapeTown’s night skyline. This tour was well worth the price and effort it took to get there.”

Cape Town: 2-Day Wildlife Tour with Safaris and Luxury Stay

9.2-Day Wildlife Tour with Safaris and Luxury Stay

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 51 reviews · 2 days · from $534

Review of Cape Town’s 2-day Western Cape safari with Big Five game drives, luxury tented lodging, Route 62, and optional elephant viewing.

“Résultat mitigé. Dylan, le guide était top. Je le recommande vivement. Le programme est intense sur les 2 jours avec de longs trajets de 6h. Mais vous n’avez pas le choix si vous venez de Captown. Les van ne sont pas confortables. Concernant les 2 safari, cela me paraissait plus être un grand zoo sans enclos plutôt qu’un safari. J’ai moins apprécié le 1er safari Bufflesdrift car plus petit et beaucoups moins d’animaux. En revanche les lodges surplace et l’environnement étaient magnifiques. Il n’y avait pas de lions dans les 2 réserves. Suppléments éléphant cher, mais sympa car nous avons pu les approcher de très près et de les toucher.…”

15.Luxury Harbour Ocean Boat Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 14 reviews · from $11

Review of Durban’s $11.25 luxury pontoon cruise, with harbour views, boats, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.

“We called to reschedule the time and the operator said he was unable to move our booking. We made our way there and arrived at 11:30 but the boat left. Only to find out that there were other later slots which the agent could have moved us to so it was Money gone down the drain. Wish the agents made more effort in moving our cruise as asked”
