I would like to join the tour but may not participate in all events since I have been in SA before. Also I might leave the tour in Hermanus and make my own way back (via Stellenbosch) to Capetown

Is there another trip earlier i.e. in February ..

Any 4 day Garden route tour starting 30th Mar to 3 April 26?

We do have a 5 Day Garden Route Tour, scheduled for the 30th of March and returning on the 3rd of April, please go ahead and book it.

I am a solo traveller and I would like to join this tour. Is it possible? How much will it be for a solo traveller? I would also like to check the climate during this period so that I can prepare the right clothings.

Yes, it is possible to join the tour as a solo traveler, the price depends on the package you choose, we have a dormitory shared accommodation, our budget package, then we have a backpackers private room and lastly our more popular package which is the Guest house single private room and these options are herein listed. This time of the year will be leaning toward Spring season as such it will still be cool towards warm.

Do you availability for September 5-September 8?

we do have availability for the mentioned dates, we are looking forward to receiving your booking and having you on board with us.

Is there a tour at this time? What is the accommodation for the price of $1017pp? Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?

The 4 Day departs on Fridays and would depart on the 17th instead.

What time does the trip end on the 20-23rd? And I just wanted to confirm there was no June 18 or 19 starting garden route tour.

The tour scheduled to depart on the 20th would return between 17:30 and 18:30 on Monday the 23rd. Indeed there is no 4 Day Tour on the 18 or 19th of June.

What should I know about dietary requirements?

We can accommodate vegetarian meals during the tour if informed in advance.

This tour looks interesting but the Friday - Monday doesn't really suit us - is there any possibility of departing on different days e.g Monday to Thursday?

Oh yes I now see the different tour - 5 days starting on Mondays - a bit more adventurous! Yes we are a party of 4 - might the 4 day tour be possible for 4 please? We will be based in Cape Town before and after - so ending in Cape Town would be good, though I guess we can fly back but I think the 4 day one was a round trip?

My question is about the accommodation. I read in a review that if you stay in a particular accommodation you don't get to go on the Safari. We are two 67 year olds. I am wondering what accommodation to pick - Private Backpackers or Guest House. What would be the difference? Where do most of your customers stay?

We have a 4 Day Garden Route Tour departing on Fridays and this has 3 options, 1. Backpackers Dormitory shared accommodation 2. Backpackers private room and lastly 3. Guest House private room. The difference between a backpackers private and guest house private is amenities, a guest house room offers more amenities like tea and coffee station, hairdryer, towels and in some instances even air-con, while a backpackers private room is a standard en suite room with no amenities. Your choice of the package will not make you miss out on any part of the tour except the amenities mentioned above, the tour is exactly the same for everyone with an exception of the accommodation type chosen.

can the tour start on May 21st ? And can it be shortened to 3days ?

we can create a customized tour for you and also we do have a 3 Day Tour as well on offer.

Great introduction to the Garden Route. The loop itinerary meant we saw different scenery all the time, coast and mountains and the plains in between. The guest houses surpassed our expectations and the Garden Route Game lodge chalets were a great experience. Benjamin our guide was friendly and informative and got us to all the included excursions and the optional ones in good time to make the most of them. He also ensured we saw key towns along the route and had plenty of photo stops and opportunities to get refreshments. Included meals were tasty and good quality. Included excursions were all good experiences. We added in the optional Elephant Sanctuary and Monkeyland visits, both of which were enjoyable experiences and a chance to see these animals up close but still in a 'wild' setting. All in all a very enjoyable tour, highly recommended if you're short on time but want to see the Garden Route sights.Show more

The 4-day Garden Route Adventure tour with Benjamin as our operator is impressive and unforgettable. Benjamin is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and patient. He managed well to meet the additional requests by this group. In addition to the scheduled programs, this group did Knysna Elephant Park, Cango Wildlife Ranch visit, and Bloukrans Bungy. We stopped many times at scenery spots for picture taken. We have covered so much that every is happy with their requests. The whole tour started well with booking, communication, food and accommodation. Everything is excellent and I highly recommend this tour if you choose a short tour on Garden Route Adventure.Show more
