Hi, I am going on the Cape Town trip in July and was wondering what is the best and safest form of transportation from Cape Town airport to Protea Hotel Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge.

We highly recommend using Uber which is around R200-300 and takes about 30 to 45 minutes travel time from airport to the hotel.

  why you can't allow over 35 at your 4 day Cape exploer? even we have great health?
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2025
  Contiki's age limit of 18–35 isn't about health or ability, but about creating a shared travel experience for people in a similar life stage. The vibe of Contiki tours, especially short ones like the 4-day Cape Explorer, is fast-paced, social, and designed to connect young travelers through group activities, nightlife, and adventure.
