Kimkim Trip Reviews

You can tell the ship/boat is aging but they kept it clean and organized. The 17 crew member and the manager/captain done a tremendously well on the journey. The captain/ manager is well English and well spoken, he is very knowledgeable about the tour and history. Very accommodating to request and mandate. Some diverse groups are stubborn but he was able to hold his guard well and kept it up as planned. The only thing that I can see is that was a constant concern and struggle with the crew’s are getting everyone a hot water request and getting the coffee hot and ready on time. This is something to improve to the services needed in the journey to make everyone happy and comfortable drinking their coffee. 😊 especially in very cold morning and night.

Very clean and sophisticated design. On spot massage and the front desk staff Micheal made are stay even more satisfying and comfortable even for only night. We wished we had stayed longer but we had a drive to Halong Bay. ATM outside- very convenient. Restaurant and shops surrounding. The only thing is the traffic, because it’s a busy area and the street are narrow.

The hotel is located in the Main Street which is busy and a busload of guys are happened to there when we were staying. First, they made a mistake giving us a wrong reservation room which they moved us to another room that smells smoke. The hallway is very narrow and small so while waiting for the elevator you can hear the conversation from all the rooms adjacent to the elevator. I like the most was the bathroom that has a window view.

Accessible to main strip and the beach where the day trips for island hopping.

The location is great for night walks, dine in and also massage. The hotel was very accommodating, they even let us use the bathroom and pool even after we checked out to change from out water trip adventure.

The only comment I had was that the shower door doesn’t closed all the way.

Ocean view. Great rooms

Amazing 5 star hotel. You felt it in every aspect. Service, view food and rooms. I'd stay there again fir sure.

Little quirky layout. One area for 4 elevators and long walk to our room

Great location and view. Very modern

Unfortunately it was cancelled due to weather. The 1 start rating is in no way indicative of the experience. We had none, but we were refunded. All good. We went to the Aquarium, lunch and shopped instead.

So educational and worth an easy hour of your time. Behind the scenes of the structure and it's history

Exhilarating. Great joyride with outstanding views. Should not be missed

Epic. Our bus driver was flawless. Beautiful country. We opted, on our own, to fly back to Queenstown. Best choice. The experience in the 10 seater cessna was priceless.

Great vistas but we had to buy three luge tickets minumum when only I wanted to do it in my group. We ended up not doing the luge

Our guide was authentic and entertaining. The foods were perfect. We enjoyed ourselves. Great set up.

Nice location where we could walk through the Getsemani area and also the old historical district. The staff was very helpful. Pool on roof was refreshing and had a great view.

When we arrived we didn't like our room and the staff upgraded us to nice room on the second story with a beautiful room with a view of the beach and two swim pools. The hotel was advertised as 4 star but we felt it was more like a 3 star. The wifi didn't work unless we walked over to the restaurant. At one point we were locked in the room for over an hour because of old locks. The staff was kind and did their best and actually changed out the lock that same day and even provided us with a free dinner which was one of the best dinners we had on the whole trip. The restaurant was slow but the food was amazing.

A beautiful hotel with very nice landscaping and swim pool. Big clean room. Nice restaurant next to the pool.

Modern hotel with nice restaurant. It was a nice retreat in the middle of our trip.

An interesting stay with a local couple in their home. Clean and comfortable room. Hostess Vivi was super kind and friendly.

The staff was helpful in moving us to an inside courtyard room which was quieter. Great old building right next to the downtown plaza.

We stayed in the Tiki hut which was fun. Outdoor shower with tropical flowers and bird sounds was fun. Restaurant on sight was good. Not close to town though.

Great location! Nice rooms in historical building. Friendly and helpful staff.

A highlight of the trip. We were a little concerned about what was going on the drive and the arrival at an apartment building. Once we got into the apartment we were treated to a very special dinner made by two cooks and a kind hostess. It was fun getting to see a modern apartment in Bogota suburbs. The hostess was very helpful and told us about the local fruit and vegetable market which we visited the next day on our own.

There was confusion and miscommunication several times on the tour where we didn't understand what was included and what we really wanted and expected. At the end we felt disappointed we didn't get more history of Bogota and Columbia.

We wished we had skipped this activity because it took so much time to drive their and back.

Ekaterina was a stellar guide. Deeply knowledgeable, very enthusiastic and a lot of fun. She was incredibly dedicated and we learned so much from her about the architecture and how the Greeks did it (or how we still often do not know how they did it). We appreciated the time allotted to tour the ruins on our own, armed with the thorough overview. It was a good way to do the tours.

Our guide Maria was terrific. She had a degree in the Classics so was incredibly knowledgeable. Her explanations were so great that they served us well when we came back to Athens for our last evening and went to the Acropolis museum. She was an excellent guide who spends her free time going on other tours so she can learn and grow in her job. The dedication paid off for us.

The guide was amazing and we had a wonderful day absorbing the countryside. It was a terrific counterpoint to the afternoon that we spent at Delphi. One of the best days we have ever had on any vacation.

Location was great. One elevator and very small. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was just ok.

Great hotel right next to the airport.

Central location. Good food. Helpful staff. Comfortable room.

Our guide, Stig, was awesome.

Colca Lodge was delightful with its natural surroundings and the rushing river. We really enjoyed the onsite hot springs and the tranquility of having them mostly to ourselves. It was a serene and rejuvenating part of our trip.

Casa Andina Premium Arequipa was conveniently located in the middle of the city but provided a unique rooftop view of snow-capped volcanoes. The city setting was central for sightseeing, and discovering the rooftop views was an unexpected highlight.

Casa Andina Premium Valle Sagrado was perfect for bird lovers like us. The expansive property offered plenty of space for bird watching and exploring, and we enjoyed the serene environment. It was a great retreat away from the hustle of travel, and the setting was simply beautiful.

Posada Amazonas Lodge offered a truly authentic Amazon experience. Our room had one wall completely open to the jungle, allowing us to hear monkeys and birds while being surrounded by nature. We loved the natural setting, but be careful about water consumption!

The visit to the Parobamba Community for the Andean textiles experience was fantastic. We got to see a demonstration of how textiles are made, and enjoyed interacting with the local community. The villagers even performed a traditional dance for us, which was a delightful surprise. It was a fantastic way to connect with the culture and meet locals.

The best part of our stay was the Daily Buffet Breakfast. Thank you!

The Drive was very long and therefore, very tiring, however, we really liked our driver and guide. The vehicle was small and uncomfortable.

Fantastic cruise. Great room, food and views!!!!!

The ruins at Angkor are incredible. Recommend getting up early to see sunrise over Angkor Wat. Ta Phrom and Angkor Thom are also must visits! A fantastic tour!

By far the best view in a stay on vacation! We stayed in bungalow #8 and while the stairs are a killer, that view was worth it every time. Loved this spot in relation to the overall town layout, the proximity to other bars, restaurants and the Manuel Antonio National Park

This place is beautiful and in a great setting! The wind up there really gets to high MPH, so the door on the back patio really rattles through the night. Still a great spot to stay. Great food too!

Really liked this spot overall. It's just right off the highway and the noise from all the traffic, especially motorbikes, makes it really hard to sleep. I think guests should know that going in. It is a beautiful location with great breakfast and amenities.

It's a standard Hampton hotel. Overall it's good, not great.

Super fun day of kayaking and snorkeling! Great sightings of fish during snorkeling. Loved the entire trip!

Overall this was pretty cool. We really liked our guide, Elvis, and he did his best to help give a good experience. We definitely had a lot of people in our group and in general there were a lot of people on the pathways with guides. It makes it hard to enjoy parts of the walk.

A beautiful area around Arenal. Great to have a guide! Not a huge fan of the La Fortuna Waterfall due to the amount of people but it was still pretty cool overall.

A great hot spring and meal overall. We showed up for a night swim and the pools were much larger than expected! A great layout and experience overall.

One of the best places we have stayed. The architecture and the service was fantastic. Provided us with a complimentary upgrade as well. We used their Hamam service too.

As of February 2025, the only reason to be at hacienda Morelos is the location. It is located right in the center of Puerto Morelos, with direct access to the beach and with sea view of most rooms. The rest however, is in grave need of attention. There is a feeling in the hotel that there is no management, the employees where often uncourteous and lacked initiative. There are renovations going on in the restaurant, so you are walking in a building site and to reach the pool and sea you have to go through all the kitchen equipment left in what would be otherwise a nice restaurant area. We constantly had to request extra towels and toilet paper for our 4 people room, like it was not possible to give anything extra. The coffee in the foyer was alway empty, in a container way too small for the demand. The pool and other part of the hotel cleanliness is questionable. The fee parking was half a building site, we were blocked in by a van at one point. They should have closed during the remodel and train their staff better.

This is a beautiful hotel right in the center of Valladolid, with an authentic, traditional character. The staff is courteous and attentive, the grounds are beautiful and the courtyard and pool provide a peaceful setting. Unfortunately the first night we were assigned to an extremely noisy room overlooking a busy street. We could not get any sleep. After we were moved to a different room, our stay was much more pleasant. The restaurants is very good. I wish we knew about the roof terrace bar while there!

Friendly staff, great equipment, eco conscious tourism, a great experience. Joaquin was so friendly and our captain Arturo took care of our children on the boat. I love how everybody receives and explanation before snorkeling on how to protect the environment. The floatation devices definitely limits people diving down and grabbing things or inadvertently damaging corals. We saw a lot of fish!.

Beautiful dive, great staff, small group and great equipment. Knowledgeable and eco conscious owner of the diving service. Despite the mishap with my diving start time, Ernesto Hevia was quick thinking into finding a solution for me, he also took care of me picking me up from the ferry and taking me back there after. There needs to be more direct communication between the diving center to the client directly. I understand the diving did not have my direct contact info. I filled in the questionnaire but at that point I should have also scheduled a call or have a direct message to the provider to go over details and questions.

Overall a fantastic day. Francisco was accomodating as we arrived 30 min late. I had flagged the start time of 10 as too early from valladolid , with the time change. He was extremely friendly and professional. Francisco was so nice and friendly, a father himself he was caring and engaging with the kids and explained a lot about his culture but also took great interest in us! The cooking was a fantastic experience with the children, we picked and made everything from scratch! The family cooking was super hospitable and jovial. The laguna tour was very special and packed with activities !

What an amazing place, a world a part from the crowds of Chicen Itza. I hope ek balan retain its character. The local guide , Baldasar, was knowledgeable and friendly to us and our children. We learnt so much! The team managed to change around our booking times to see the cenote after the archeological visit. The cenote was beautiful, with a nice relaxing area with hammocks, changing rooms and lovely staff explaining the site facilities and rules. I wish we had longer there. After that we went to the village tour that felt authentic, again with welcoming and friendly people, showing their homes and their craft. We purchased locally made crafts, although we never felt pressured into it.

Beautiful peaceful cenote, staff explained well how to reach it and showering procedure. Friendly staff and nice food at lunch, lovely environment.

The ice cave was very crowded and was a lot of stopping for prolonged periods of time before moving to the next area, where you waited for a very long time. Our group was small, which was nice, however we had a few individuals who were always lagging behind to take photos and it really slowed us down. What could've taken 30 minutes took more than over an hour. I feel like there were too many people inside the cave and that it would've been better if the tours were more staggered so you weren't constantly waiting around. Another tour that we did had a nice idea of bringing us to the end fairly quickly while still being informative and not rushing, and then gave us all the option of exploring and making our way back at our own pace. This way people could take photos and take their time if they wanted to while others could make their way back quicker. This doesn't exactly work with the ice cave tour as they transport tour-goers to and from base, however maybe there could be a couple of options for departure from the cave.

This was an activity that I underestimated and had booked for something to do, not necessarily because I really wanted to do it. We had visited The Lava Show in Reykjavik which gave us some education regarding lava tunnels and it was actually a really cool experience.

Out of the 7 different hotels and riads we stayed in during our 2-week-plus trip to Morocco, this was my favorite. Location was perfect, and the riad itself was stunning on the inside. The artwork and crafts all about were beautiful, and the various rooftop terraces and pools made it stand out from others.

This place in the middle of nowhere surprised us with its sophisticated decor and well-appointed dining room. Highly recommended.

This place was SO COOL! We all loved being out in the desert, no other campsite in sight. Wonderful staff, great food and music to entertain. The tents were furnished with a very comfortable bed and more than what you would expect in a desert setting! The stars at night, the Berber music, the endless sands and dunes to climb on - what an amazing time. Oh, and the camel ride to the camp was a kick! What a wonderful way to experience the dunes and arrive at the camp.

The desert portion of our 15-day trip was definitely a crowd favorite. Everything went really well, including our camel ride to the campsite with a stop just short to watch the sunset and climb the dunes. Drop dead breathtaking! The campsite itself was very pretty, comfortable, and a great way to watch the stars, share a good meal, and listen to Berber music. Don't miss the opportunity to go to the desert - even though it is quite a long side-trip from Marrakech, all of our small group of 6 who did it were so glad we did!

Sefrou was the one disappointment on our trip of 15 days. We were dropped off on a holiday (January 1st) early in the morning, and either because of the holiday or early hour, the city was quiet and shops were all closed. Even though our group had asked KimKim about the holiday's impact on our visit, we were assured it would still be worth the visit to go to Sefrou. Without the artisan shops open and bustling, our group felt like intruders on a small town. We had a great rest of the day traveling to Ifrine and hiking, but be aware of holiday closures in your trip planning.

The group all enjoyed Tangier quite a bit - all of the imperial cities sited on the ocean or sea scored very highly with us! We had 3-4 days in Tangier, so were able to explore it more thoroughly than some of the other cities we visited. The medina on top of a bluff was our first taste of old walled cities in Morocco, and it did not disappoint. We had a great tour and guide (Yasmine) as we explored the old city, including an old synagogue and Jewish cemetery that were fascinating. The views and vista over the Med Sea were breathtaking - we were able to see Spain across the sea as well.

Nice hotel with balcony overlooking their pool and the Sound.

Hotel was right in the middle of the Central Business District of Melbourne. Great location! Pretty basic room.

Oceania and Nick provided our 8 person van with a memorable trip. He took us off road to a golf course so we could see kangaroos in the wild. He also took off the main road to a grove of eucalyptus trees and we spotted 6 koalas in the wild. A treat for me! The 12 Apostles rock formations and Arch were breathtaking. It was a perfect excursion. The right amount of informative narrative.

I had read some reviews on google and trip advisor and requested to change this accommodation but only when it was too late. This was an all-inclusive hotel which would have been nice to know before it was booked. Me and my husband personally do not like these sorts of accommodations and would have rather been booked elsewhere. The room seemed clean, except the bathroom shower pretty much couldn’t drain due to the way it was built and water would get everywhere since there was no door. One of the weirdest things they did was have reusable water bottles full of “clean water” to brush teeth with and such but the fact that they were plastic reusable bottles was very weird. I didn’t want to put my mouth on something someone else had used. They had no water bottles anywhere for purchase, they just used a big jug to fill up everyone’s water. While this is fine, I would have liked to have access to water bottles while in the room. I could see how people get sick from the food. During all services some of the food that probably should have been cold was just left out, who knows how long this was for considering they had to set up for the service. We stuck to food that had been heated or was cooked right in front of us and I think that’s why we didn’t get sick. The bug net that was in the room was a mess. If you tried to close it on one side it opened on the other and felt like it was constantly open. It’s not that hard to have an easy to use bug net so this was really frustrating. We were worried about this because when you closed the door it still looked like it was open, there was cracks on all side that were decently big for plenty of insects to come in. I was thinking since this accommodation was on the beach that there would be beach loungers but unfortunately there was not, all the loungers are on the grass overlooking the beach. It felt like unless you got out there early you couldn’t get a lounger which was pretty annoying. People would leave their stuff there even if they weren’t using it all day. The service was pretty slow since it was all-inclusive. The outside pool bar usually had 2-3 guys working and about 10+ people waiting. At one point I waited 15 minutes for a coffee before I gave up because there was still someone in front of me that hadn’t ordered yet. there was an inside bar but everytime I went over there it was closed, so I’m not sure if they even use that. This place was close to the airport which was nice, but I would not recommend anyone else stay here. It was just okay.

We would not recommend this hotel to other travelers. Because it was outside the park getting into the park every day was a hassle, and you had to go through town and be swarmed by people trying to sell you stuff. The tent we were booked was entirely too big for us and had a master and a separate bedroom with 3 beds in it as well. For us, it seemed like a waste and we would have rather been booked inside the park at a nicer accommodation. When we got there I asked about laundry and they informed me they would bring a bag before dinner. This did not happen and I had to go to the front desk to remind them. The shower we took there was freezing and they had to work on the water heater. They did not have many food options for dinner. The WiFi in the tent did not work at all, you basically had to be in the reception area to be able to do anything on your phone. I was told the laundry would be completed before dinner the next night, when we left to go to dinner we still did not have the laundry. I was in the room during turn-down service and she said she would have it after dinner which left us not a lot of time to pack considering we were leaving early in the morning.

We had a wonderful time here learning about the community and what they have created. We would have liked to have more of an explanation of what this camp entailed. The walk to the bush camp was quite a hike and I would not recommend it for everyone. Once you are up at the camp there is no running water. While they do have a “washroom” it is just a wooden toilet that is covered by an enclosure. We were hesitant to participate in eating the goat, but after seeing it cooked we became much more comfortable. They had informed us that no one has every gotten sick from eating it and that was also comforting. I would have felt better if this was explained to me beforehand. All the staff was very sweet, and we really enjoyed the food offered.

I would say the only positive thing about this hotel is that it is located in the park. The bed we slept on was by far the most uncomfortable and felt the same as sleeping on the floor. The food was okay, but they did not have that much variety. We would not recommend this place to other travelers.

This was the best hotel we stayed at, we loved the staff and the cleanliness of the accommodations. The front desk was so welcoming, they had tea and coffee available at all hours, and the food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing. There was a decent amount of options every time. At night they would give you a heating pack to sleep with since the tent can get a little cold, and it stayed warm almost all night. We loved staying inside the park so the game drive began as soon as we left in the morning.

This place was a little far from the airport, and considering we had to drive back closer to the airport on our first day of travel it probably would have been better if we were in a different location. The staff made it easy to check in, the food that was available was okay. It was close to Karen Blixen and Bomas which we did that day. When we arrived the shower did not have any clean towels, but the staff brought some right away. The shower did seem like it needed to be cleaned, especially the doors and the floor.

Should be explained more what this entailes with pictures of where you will be staying, that there is a hike up there, etc.

This was a much more difficult hike than I thought it was going to be and we are very active, working out daily and have been on previous hikes before. We would not recommend this activity to other travelers, it is basically all uphill with very little plateaus.

We enjoyed both drives

Great Location, but Maintenance Could Be Improved – Belle Maroc Hotel Belle Maroc Hotel is exceptionally well located, making it a convenient spot for exploring the area. However, the general maintenance falls a bit short compared to the other hotels we stayed at. We encountered some electrical issues, which were resolved by running a cable to our TV—not the most elegant solution. The staff was okay, as was the breakfast—nothing exceptional, but nothing to complain about either. Overall, it’s a decent stay with a fantastic location, but it doesn’t quite reach a five-star experience.D

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience at Sindile Lodge Our stay at Sindile Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were met with exceptional service, breathtaking accommodations, and world-class hospitality. The lodge itself is stunning—beautifully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, offering luxury, comfort, and an intimate connection with the wilderness. The suites are spacious, elegantly furnished, and provide unparalleled views of the reserve. The food was outstanding, with every meal exceeding our expectations. From gourmet breakfasts to exquisite dinners, each dish was crafted to perfection, making dining an experience in itself. A special thank you to our ranger, Siya, whose knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm made every game drive unforgettable. His deep understanding of the wildlife and the environment added incredible depth to our safari experience. Another heartfelt thank you to our butler, Siya, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. His warm and attentive service made us feel truly special, and his attention to detail was impeccable. Sindile Lodge is a true gem, offering a perfect blend of adventure and luxury. If I could give it 6 stars, I absolutely would! If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (but truly a 6-star experience!)

Exceptional Stay at Hunter’s Country House Hunter’s Country House was an absolute gem! The setting is beautiful, with a peaceful and elegant atmosphere that made our stay truly special. The rooms were spacious, charming, and perfectly maintained, offering a luxurious yet cozy experience. The service was outstanding—the staff was incredibly attentive, warm, and always ready to help. The food was excellent, and every detail of our stay exceeded expectations. For those wishing to visit Plettenberg Bay, the hotel is a bit too far away, and you will need a car or driver to go back and forth. That would be the only drawback for staying there. A perfect retreat for anyone looking for tranquility, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommended!

Great Stay at Whale Coast All Suite Hotel Whale Coast All Suite Hotel was a fantastic choice! The apartment was spacious, and very convenient, located just one block from the beach and inside a shopping mall, making it easy to get groceries and essentials. The breakfast was very good, and the staff was absolutely excellent—super helpful and attentive. A perfect place for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Good 4 star option

Perfect Location & Modern Comfort – Lawhill Apartments Lawhill Apartments is the perfect place to stay in Cape Town! The location is unbeatable—right in town and within walking distance of the V&A Waterfront. The apartment itself was very modern, spacious, and well-equipped, making for an extremely comfortable stay. The pool was a great bonus, and every aspect of our experience was excellent. Would highly recommend Lawhill Apartments for anyone looking for a stylish and convenient stay in Cape Town!

Smooth and Well-Organized Departure from Africa Our departure was seamless and well-organized. On Saturday morning, our driver arrived on time and took us swiftly to the airport, making the process stress-free. Everything went smoothly, allowing us to finish our incredible trip on a relaxed note. A well-handled end to an unforgettable adventure!

Kitesurfing at Bloubergstrand Beach – A Missed Opportunity but a Great Day We arrived the afternoon before our scheduled kitesurfing session and were lucky to witness Bloubergstrand in all its glory—hundreds of kitesurfers on the water, showing why this is one of the world’s best spots for the sport. It was an incredible sight! Unfortunately, on the actual day of our session, the wind didn’t show up, and we had to cancel. Looking back, we had to cancel other activities earlier in the trip due to strong winds—had we planned kitesurfing on one of those days instead, we probably would have had the perfect conditions. If I could redo the trip, I would definitely make that adjustment. In place of kitesurfing, we made the most of our time with a relaxing walk along the beach, enjoying lunch and dinner at seaside restaurants. It turned out to be a great and chilled-out way to wrap up our trip before heading back to Argentina!

Shamwari Experiences – A 6-Star Adventure in Every Way As I mentioned before, Shamwari was a truly 6-star experience. We had incredible opportunities to see all the animals in their natural setting, making every game drive unforgettable. The wildlife, the landscapes, and the expert guidance from our rangers made it an exceptional adventure. Beyond the safari itself, the gourmet experience was outstanding. A special highlight for us was the care and attention given to my three kids, who are gluten-intolerant. The staff went above and beyond to create a special menu for them, ensuring they had the same high-quality dining experience as everyone else, despite their dietary restrictions. Shamwari exceeded every expectation, not just in wildlife and luxury but in its outstanding hospitality. It was truly an experience we’ll never forget!

Arriving at Shamwari Game Reserve – A 6-Star Welcome! Shamwari was the absolute highlight of our trip. From the very first moment, we were warmly welcomed with hot tea and the friendliest staff, setting the tone for an incredible stay. We were fortunate to go on a safari the same day we arrived, making our first day at Shamwari already a 6-star experience. Everything about it—service, atmosphere, and the excitement of the wildlife—was beyond expectations. From the start, it was clear that Shamwari is a truly special place. We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning to this unforgettable adventure!

Bloukrans Bungy & Bridge Zipline – A Thrilling, World-Class Experience Only Valentina was brave enough to take on this adventure, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip! Bloukrans Bungy holds the world record for the highest bungee jump, and the entire operation is run with the utmost professionalism. The facility is extremely safe, with top-quality, well-maintained equipment that gave us full confidence in the experience. The jump itself was absolutely awesome—pure adrenaline! They also offer a video package, which is a great way to relive the moment and make the experience even more memorable. For anyone looking for the ultimate thrill, this is a must-do. Highly recommended!

Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour – A Well-Run and Fun Experience The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour was a very good experience—safe, well-organized, and professionally run. The guides were great, and everything was done with a high level of care. Since we had done a similar experience in Costa Rica, this felt familiar, so it didn’t have the same thrill for us. Some of the ziplines were a bit less exciting than others, but overall, it was still a fun and enjoyable activity. If you haven’t done a canopy tour before, this is definitely a great option and worth trying!

Tsitsikamma Segway Experience – Fun and Unique! This was a really fun activity, especially since we had never ridden Segways before! It was a great way to explore the area in a different and exciting way. What made the experience even better was our guide—absolutely fantastic! They made sure we felt comfortable, kept the tour engaging, and added to the overall enjoyment. It was a very, very nice experience, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to try something new and have a great time in Tsitsikamma!

Kayak, Lilo, and Cliff Jumping on the Storms River – A Fantastic Adventure! This was a very good experience and one of the highlights of our time in Tsitsikamma. We loved the kayaking, especially going out into the ocean—it was safe, well-organized, and the guides were excellent. After paddling into the river, we continued through beautiful surroundings with top-quality equipment. The experience was a mix of adventure and fun: we hiked, paddled to some rocks, crossed them, and then floated on inflatable rafts (similar to lilos). It was a unique and relaxing way to enjoy the stunning scenery. We took some great pictures and had an amazing time. Definitely an experience worth doing!

Tsitsikamma National Park Walk – A Scenic and Enjoyable Experience Our visit to Tsitsikamma National Park was a nice and enjoyable experience. We did the walks, took in the beautiful views, and had a great time exploring the area. The landscapes were stunning, and it was a peaceful way to connect with nature. Compared to some of the more mind-blowing experiences on our trip, this one felt like a step below, but it’s still definitely worth doing. If you enjoy scenic walks and coastal beauty, it’s a great addition to any itinerary!

Explore Cango Caves – A Good Stop, but a Long Journey Visiting the Cango Caves was a good stop during our trip, offering an interesting and well-organized experience. The caves themselves were impressive, and the guided tour was engaging and informative. However, the downside of that day—especially since it was my birthday—was the incredibly long drive. We spent about 6 to 7 hours in the car, which made the day feel exhausting. Looking back, I might have chosen to take a short flight instead of enduring such a long drive. That said, the caves were worth seeing, and overall, it was still a good experience despite the travel time.

Shark Cage Diving – A Truly 6-Star Experience! One of the absolute highlights of our trip! Everything about this experience was flawless. The company that took us out was incredibly professional—they explained everything clearly, provided an excellent introduction, and made sure we had top-quality wetsuits. Their attention to detail was exceptional. We were extremely lucky to see plenty of sharks, and the feeling of being in the cage, up close with these incredible creatures, was absolutely mind-blowing. After getting out of the water, we were welcomed with a hot shower inside our wetsuits—something we had never experienced before—and a cup of hot chocolate, which made it even more special. This was truly an unforgettable adventure, and I would highly, highly recommend it. If I could give it 6 stars, I absolutely would!

Marine Big 5 Boat Tour – Canceled but Great Replacement! Our Marine Big 5 Boat Tour was unfortunately canceled due to weather conditions, but we were offered a quad biking experience instead—and we ended up really enjoying it! The quad biking was different from what we originally planned, but it was safe, fun, and a great way to explore the area. We had a fantastic time and truly enjoyed the experience. Although we missed out on seeing marine life on this tour, our cage diving experience gave us a great feel for the ocean and its incredible wildlife. In the end, everything worked out, and we had an amazing adventure!

Authentic Coastal Dining at Perlemoen Restaurant Perlemoen Restaurant was a nice stop during our trip. The highlight was definitely the food—we had the best fish of the entire trip, cooked to perfection with fresh, high-quality ingredients. However, the restaurant was quite crowded, and we couldn’t find a great table with a view of the ocean, which would have made the experience even better. Despite that, the meal itself was excellent, and it’s a good spot for those looking for fresh seafood in a coastal setting.

Nice Horse Ride, But Not What We Originally Planned Our original plan was to do a beach horse ride at Noordhoek, which we were really looking forward to. However, due to weather conditions, it was changed to a ride along the mountains instead. The experience itself was pleasant—the guide was very friendly and experienced, and the scenery was beautiful, with a peaceful ride through the vineyards. However, it was a very easy walk, and I would have liked the opportunity to trot or gallop a bit. The timing of our ride made it quite hot, and we couldn’t help but feel that the beach would have been a much better setting. That being said, we understand that the change was necessary due to the weather. Overall, it was a nice experience, just not quite what we had hoped for.

Spectacular Cape Peninsula – Penguins Were Okay Our trip to the Cape Peninsula was absolutely outstanding—definitely a 5-star experience! The landscapes and views were breathtaking, making for an unforgettable day. Every stop along the way was stunning, and we truly enjoyed exploring this beautiful region. The visit to the penguins was okay, but a bit too crowded for our taste. It was still nice to see them, but it didn’t quite match the spectacular experience of the Cape Peninsula itself. We were originally supposed to do a kayaking tour, which would have been a great addition, but unfortunately, it had to be canceled due to the weather. Despite that, it was a fantastic day overall!

Amazing Alternative Hike – Lion’s Head Instead of Table Mountain Our original plan was to hike Table Mountain, but due to weather conditions, we had to switch to Lion’s Head at the last moment. The change was handled seamlessly, and honestly, we couldn’t have had a better experience! The hike was excellent—challenging but rewarding, with breathtaking views throughout. Our guide was exceptional, making the experience even more enjoyable with great insights and a perfect pace. Although we missed Table Mountain, this alternative turned out to be an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!
