Hennie is a Super nice and patient guy, the tour was very nice, we've visited many attractions and stopped on the way if we passed by a cool spot to take pics.
we only missed one spot because we took too much time in other spots taking pics(for whoever takes a lot of pics the tour should start at 9 or even before XD)
price is very reasonable
i recommend him

Shane is awesome! I booked my Skydiving adventure with South African Adventures. And it was great from the beginning. My request was answered immediately and Shane organized everything. He stayed in contact all the time to make sure everything is perfect for me. I highly recommend them if you want someone to organize everything for you and you can just enjoy your time in and around Cape Town!

Hennie drove us from Cape town to Hermanus and back again and took
us for an interesting tour in the Hermanus area.
I highly recommend Hennie. He is reliable, a super nice guy and very knowledgeable in the area.
Also very fairly priced.

We had the most amazing day being shown around by Shane. His huge knowledge of the area enabled us to relax & enjoy the most incredible views whilst he shared with us the history etc about the various places. Never would we have seen so much if we had done this on or own without his expertise & guidance. Some friends also used his company for shark diving & had the same praise. Have no doubt whatever you want to do in the Cape area you will be dealt with in a very professional & friendly manner.

Booked a shark cage diving tour way in advance confirmed the booking twice and on the day of the tour no one arrived to collect us, after contacting the numbers for support no answer or reply was had, numerous attempts where made to contact via whatsapp, email, telephone and no response was had. Would not advise booking with this company as I feel I have been scammed really badly

Initially booked a whale watching tour with Hendrick and Shane and liked it so much I went on a wine tasting tour and a day trip down to the most southern point of Africa. Shane and Hendrick are amazing guys who really know their stuff. Their priority was making sure I felt at home and was comfortable. Booked a lot of tours the last few months on a world wide trip and these guys, hands down, are the best I've used. Thanks both, you're legends.

My family and I had a great time exploring Hermanus with Shane !
He made us discover authentic places and stopped us for some awesome points of views and to try some food along the way. We could ask all the question we wanted and his english was very easy to understand for us (we are french).
We had such a great time that we decided to book a wineland day tour and it was a perfect day.
I can only recommand Shane and South African adventure.
The only negative point is that, at the end of the day, you will feel like leaving an old friend behind...

After causally meeting Shane in South Africa and finding out he was a guide, my girlfriend and I hired him to show us the sights for the next two days. It was like having an old friend show us their local town - it was fantastic and there is no way I could possibly recommend South African Adventures more than I do. We laughed for two days as we explored the area's highlights and little known secret gems. A quick breakfast stop was at one of his favorite bakeries that had pastries I will never forget and lunch supplied from one of the great fish and chip shops on the planet served on a picnic bench on a secluded park with a view of the Ocean worthy of a postcard. I'm the type of tourist that normally books with a standard group tour. Shane has changed that about me. I will now seek out private guides who can give me that personal touch and local knowledge - but I can never imagine finding another Shane. He was the absolute best :)

Dear Shari
I would like to thank you for such an awesome time. We laughed a lot. We loved your stories of your vast travels all over the world. We learnt so much from your experiences all over the world. It was a great pleasure showing you Cape Town and the surrounding areas. I am glad you enjoyed yourself and hopefully we see you and your family next time in South Africa. You are now our friend and we look forward to seeing you again.
Thank you so much for the above review. Have a great day and may your adventures continue!!

After a huge debacle involving flights, my partner & I were in Cape Town wanting to drive to Gansbaii to go shark diving and on a whale tour. We had booked a hire car but our luggage got lost in Nairobi, which had my drivers licence in!
We found Shane through our hotel booked as a taxi & we got a whole lot more for our money.
He picked us up & we took the Garden Route to Hermanus stopping off for a Steers with an amazing view with an outlandish visitor before stopping off to see the penguins at Betty's Bay. (See below)
Due to bad weather, our whale watching tour was cancelled but fortunately, Shane was able to book us on to a morning shark dive in Gansbaii, get us transported to Hermanus & put on a trip where we had the opportunity to kayak with whales.
Without his excellent local knowledge & apparent vast amount of contacts, our trip to SA would have been a whole lot less enjoyable & memorable.
I would recommend to anyone to use Shane and his company and take the chance to meet such a passionate & likeable man, who really loves his country (and food)! Just don't mention the rugby!!

Dear Tom & Gilly
Thank you for the kind words. It was a great time had by all. I had a blast showing you the sites on our way to Hermanus. Letting you experience some of the S.A quezine. That being the best burger in Town from Steers and then sharing it with a Baboon sitting right next to the car window as he sat the all proud, with the nether regions on full display lol. Glad I could assist with organizing your Shark Cage Diving trip. Glad you got onto the earlier trip so you can come Sea Kayaking after. The Sea Kayaking trip was awesome. Hope you guys come back and join us for some more Adventures. All the best and take care. Shane - South African Adventures
