Loved every minute of this tour
I recently completed this tour with my adult daughter. From the first communication with Eunice to the end of the tour I cannot rave about this company enough. Tariq was our guide and was professional, knowledgeable, lots of fun and looked after us so well. Our accomodation was clean but basic. We were given detailed information every day and Tariq was flexible to show us a few extra highlights. Eunice communicated with us constantly to ensure we had all the information. If you are easy going, relatively fit, don’t mind driving long distances with lots of rest stops though this tour is for you. We loved every minute of our tour.

CapeXtreme Garden Route 10/10 trip!
Our Garden Route tour was amazing! We did many activities and Dylan our guide gives the extra experience. Very relatable and interesting information is given by the guide and a well planned itinerary with much to do. We did a safari, town visits, lookouts, map of Africa, elephant sanctuary, face adrenaline skywalk, cango caves and trips to the beach and walks at viewpoints. Overall an amazing time thanks to CapeXtreme and Dylan especially going above and beyond, not to mention how passionate he is touring! Cheers guys

The worst travel experience I have ever had.
I was put on a bus with teenagers aging 15-19. They were shouting and screaming the entire way n throwing water at each other. Me and my sister got soaked wet. And when I asked them to stop they called me “LOCA” and almost got physical with me with the bus driver watching. At the hostel, I couldn’t sleep for 3 consecutive nights because of how noisy they were. I spoke to the bus driver and he just dismissed me. His excuse was it’s communal living and I had to put up with the drunk screams till 3 am every night. The tour at the safari was meant to be one hour and ended as a 45 min tour of seeing nothing. The bus driver kept on pushing and embarrassing us to buy food and drinks that we didn’t need from the restaurants and cafes to get his commission which made us extremely uncomfortable. The hostel was dirty. The entire experience unpleasant if u r anything above 30, it’s not the right place for u. When we came back, we complained to the office on long street. Again, they were dismissive and didn’t even bother to apologize.

Action packed weekend
Was a good experience. Bungee jumping was my highlight though! Would recommend doing a longer weekend though as it is a lot of driving and activities to fit in the 3 days. However, was still a life changing experience! My guide was Lourens who was great.
Response from the operator: Hi Jonny :) Thank you so much for your great review! Well done on taking on the bungee at 216m! It truly one of the best things to do. We are happy to have a fantastic and passionate team of guides conducting our tours and Lourens is definitely one of a kind! We will be sure to pass along your wonderful compliments to him. Thank you for booking with us and for taking the time to give this review, we appreciate it. Kind regards Nichay and the Cape to Addo team

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $7800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Garden Route Big 5 and Bungee Tour - Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
