What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
We take the breath taking coastal drive to Hermanus with superb views of False Bay and drive through a few quaint villages along the way. Hermanus offers some of the world’s best land-based whale watching from the beautiful cliff path which stretches all along the coast. After a leisurely stroll on the Cliff path to view whales, we enjoy lunch at one of the excellent seaside restaurants. Then it is time to head on the the Hemel en Aarde Valley for a wine tasting before heading back to Cape Town. There may be the opportunity to join boat-based whale watching (weather dependent), instead of stopping for a wine tasting.

      Excellent wine tour with a wonderful guide
      Wow! Lynette, thank you so much for such a wonderful tour yesterday. From the moment we met you, we didn’t stop chatting. Your knowledge of the areas and history was excellent and the variation of the two wine tours was brilliant. Two fantastic places to see and enjoy. We really hope to be back in South Africa soon and we will certainly be reaching out to see what other tours you are running! All the best, thanks so much again

      A wonderful Cape Town adventure
      We originally booked Platteklip but due to a mountain race the route was unavailable. However it was a blessing in disguise as Lynette organised us to traverse the India Venster route instead which was absolutely mind blowing! Our guide Barry was fantastic, we were picked up from our hotel and started the route post a beautiful sunrise; from beginning to end the views were spectacular. I would say this route needs a good level of fitness as there are some steep climbs and scrambles, however they are not too challenging and it was a very rewarding feeling completing this route. If you are looking for a fantastic and adventurous way to experience Table Mountain then I could not recommend this highly enough.

      Brilliant hike, brilliant guide
      Had a fantastic morning out on Table Mountain yesterday. The route was more challenging than a previous one I had done (also with Lynette) - but Lynette was so calm and patient with good clear guidance where it was needed (and appreciated!) that it was a superb experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lynette again. She’s brilliant. Thanks for an awesome trip!

      It was amazing!
      Lynette was an excellent guide, so nice and friendly. She told us a lot about our surroundings, nature and history of the Table Mountain area. We definitely hike with her again when we’re back in South Africa. We loved it.

      India Fenster scramble
      Fantastic experience. Lynette is a superb guide. For the India Fenster route, you need to not be worried about heights and be pretty fit as requires scrambling and some steep uphill sections. Great fun!

      Table Mountain hike
      We loved our hike on Table Mountain! The views on Kasteelspoort did not disappoint and we saw a much different and beautiful perspective from the back of the mountain. The cable car was closed, so we hiked down Platteklip Gorge. Our guide, Liesl, was fantastic. She gave us several options throughout the hike, catered to our fitness ability, and taught us many things while on the mountain. Prior to our trip Lynette helped us with planning and communicated with us promptly when we had questions. I highly recommend OTC Adventures and would definitely use them again. Amazing customer service!

      Cape Town must do!
      We did the Platteklip gorge hike with Lynette and it was amazing. We loved every minute of it. Lynette was really easy to speak to, was laid back, took into account our fitness levels and went at the pace we are comfortable with. made the tour fun by giving us some interesting facts and knowledge about South Afric, table mountain and the wonderful wildlife! From my point of view it was a difficult hike but doing it with a group made it more enjoyable and motivated me even more. Definitely recommend would love to do another tour with her but sadly ran out of time.

      Don’t miss Lion’s head!
      Lynette was a great tour guide! Easy pick up and accommodating drop off. Lion’s head has great views, unique biodiversity, and was a rewarding hike. Thank you Lynette for sharing your botanical wisdom, local greetings, Cape Town euphemisms, and recommendations!

      Table Mountain Hike - Woody Ravine up, Kasteelspoort trail down August 24
      We did the Woody Ravine up and Kasteelspoort hike down, organised by Lynette and on the day guided by Mike. The cable car was not operational when we hiked so we corresponded with Lynette prior to the hike on multiple occasions to make sure we booked the right experience. At all stages Lynette was responsive, thoroughly professional and focused on providing a great experience. Mike our guide on the day, didn't disappoint. His friendly, enthusiastic personality made it a truly enjoyable day. His knowledge and experience within the region and it's unique flora and fauna made it a great hike and a memorable day out. It's a stunning Mountain. Well paced hike and tailored to our needs on the go which provided some great scenic options. Can highly recommend this team for a positive experience. Thanks again Lynette and Mike and all the best. Kim and Rob B

      A great private hike experience
      I wanted to go only part of the way up Lions Head as I am not good with heights, so I booked a private guide. Lynette suggested I walk around the base with my guide, Barry, but once we got closer, he believed I could walk to the top as I was doing okay with the height so far, and I made it to the top. Barry was great—he knew about the birds and wildlife and guided me through the walk. I certainly wouldn't have made it to the top without Barry.
