Simon's Town (Afrikaans: Simonstad), sometimes spelled Simonstown, is a town near Cape Town, South Africa, which is home to the South African Navy. It is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For more than two centuries it has been a naval base and harbour (first for the Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony.

Me and my partner did the India Venster hike with Lynette guiding us and we had the most fantastic day! Lynette was very friendly as well as very knowledgeable of the area and guided us up the mountain as well as through the history of the area and it’s surroundings. We were able to go at our own pace and the hike was very enjoyable and rewarding with a huge sense of achievement when we had finished! You will not look at table mountain the same after doing the walk knowing you have conquered it and I would recommend this hike to absolutely everybody as my partner and I had the best day and loved every second of it! Experiencing the mountain and the nature from the route was surreal and it was a once in a lifetime hike where you will make some incredible memories and see some amazing views. Already looking to book the next one- so many different hikes to do!

I had an amazing trip with JST Adventures! Our tour through the Garden Route was breathtaking. We were especially fascinated by the Cango Caves tour, Knysna heads visit, nature walks and the up-close moments with the wildlife. The guide was knowledgeable, accommodative, patient and gave us detailed information on all the places we visited.

Marlene not only was an experienced guide, she was an absolute hoot and we had a fantastic day out with her. We went to some wonderful wine farms and had an excellent lunch in a gorgeous location. Marlene was a fantastic guide full of interesting information and it felt as if we had spent the day out with a good friend. Thanks for an excellent experience!
