Experience the best of
Cape Town with Withlocals

"Kobus was a great guide! From picking us up and dropping of on time, getting the gear that fitted well to a super nice experience in the water - he was very attentive to my mom during snorkeling and dived with me to slightly deeper depth! Cape Town from the underneath the service is as gorgeous! Highly recommend!"

"I booked the snorkeling with Kobus towards the end of my stay in South Africa - and it was the perfect end to my trip. He was a perfect host and guided me safely and relaxed through the water and the kelp forest - despite the not perfect visibility underwater ;). I added a dive afterwards as I felt very comfortable and wanted more. Thanks to the tips for the rest of my short stay and the conversations out of the water between snorkeling and diving, I quickly felt welcome and like I was among friends. Definitely recommendable!"

"My wife and I did the discover scuba dive experience with Kobus in Long beach in Simon’s Town. He made us feel at ease with the gear and what we were doing, we went 6 meters deep and practised the basic skills needed for this experience. He was very patient with us as it is really really hard work to deal with to inexperienced people underwater and he did it the best i could imagine, my wife tended to float and he was with her all the time, calming her down and helping her get the right breathing to stay down and she loved it! We even saw an octopus and three puffadder shysharks!. I would definitively recommend him to any of my friends who are scuba divers or anybody who wants to try the experience coming to Cape Town! Thank you so much Kobus!"

"Veliswa made hike to Table Mountain unforgettable. She is a nice person hiking with, and we reached the top in nice weather and pleasent pace."

"Veli was great and did her best to keep our spirits up as the weather closed in. Unfortunately it wasn't safe enough to complete the hike, but I look forward to my next CT trip to hook up with her again and finish it!"

"The kelp forest was great and I think an enjoyable experience even if one doesn't see any sea creatures.We felt like we were completing a task like in the Harry Potter movie. We did see an octopus and even a penguin though. We had a really nice time. Kobus was great - easy to be around and super helpful. He took us to a great bakery down the coast and even gave us great food recommendations for later. "

"We had the best time out in the sea exploring the kelp forest. It genuinely was a highlight of our trip. Kobus and Jan made everything very straightforward, safe and easy and trust me it’s something you really wanna do on your next trip! "

"Veli was amazing... she made sure our hike was done safely and effectively. This hike is extremely intense. If you are not in good shape, please reconsider. "

"We had the good fortune of meeting Veli on a hike up Table Mountain The weather did not cooperate for us. It was foggy and the ground was a little slippery. However, she was a fantastic guide for us. The group included our three children aged 10, 12 and 16 years old. She was patient and was focused on our safety and enjoyment. Our time was limited and we only made it up half the mountain. However, she always stayed with the slowest member of our group assuring our safety. We really enjoyed our hike. We wished we had more time. Veli was wonderful and we highly recommend her."

"Even though we had absolutely no visibility, I had a great hike up up Table Mountain with Veliswa! She sacrificed part of her daughter’s birthday to come guide this hike. I truly appreciate her effort in this and looking out for my safety. "
