What to do and see in L'Agulhas, Western Cape: The Best Tours

May 16, 2022 Tambra Mccollister

L'Agulhas (or Agulhas) is a coastal village and holiday resort in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Located just north of Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the African mainland, it is the southernmost settlement in Africa. It is situated next to the town of Struisbaai and about 30 kilometres (20 mi) south of the regional centre of Bredasdorp. The name "Agulhas", Portuguese for "needles", is said to have been given to the cape because the compass-needle was seen to point due north, that is, with no magnetic deviation. The Agulhas Bank is reputed to be the richest fishing area in the Southern Hemisphere.

A few years ago my family and I were looking for someone to help us plan our South African holiday and we discovered Cape Convoy in Trip Advisor. After Rob helpfully answered our questions we booked the Garden Route tour and it was a great decision. We all had a wonderful time, the kids lived Rob and the accommodation was well located. Rob also took us to the Cape of Good Hope and we loved the Penquins. If you're looking for a wonderful tour with a great guy then your search is over! Thanks Rob

The 6 day Garden Route Tour was a fantastic experience for discovering hidden gems along the Western Cape. The tour was carefully planned, with a balance of fun guided activities and exploring towns freely. Although travel times may be long, the journey was enjoyable with great views and incredible passes in transit times. Each night, we stayed at unique accommodations which made the experience fun and the meals were above expectation. Cindy our guide went above and beyond to ensure we were safe during COVID times and to make us at ease. Also, a great company which seeks to empower local businesses which have been hard-hit during COVID times. Highly recommended.

My friend Gill and I joined this Kgalagadi 10 day tour in November 2020. From the moment we were picked up from our homes to the moment we arrived home the holiday was memorable in every way. Augrabies Gorge was an unexpected surprise and the Kgalagadi park was better than I had ever imagined it would be . The reason fir the success of the tour was due to our tour guide ( Allen Rautenbach) and the best ‘ spotter ‘ of game and birds imaginable . Breakfast and lunch and supper every day were perfect. Would highly recommend this tour .
