Best option to travel solo along the Garden Route!
The Baz Bus was a remarkable way to travel between my different stops along the Garden Route. Not only did I use the service to be picked up and dropped off at my preferred location/accommodation, I met and connected with some really kind people my age (around 20-30y old) along the way. Special thanks to our bus driver Mzi, who was always on time and is one of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met. I had a great time!

Great trip to Cape Town!
Pick-up and drop-off were easy to manage with BazBus. The bus was on time and the drivers were all very helpful and kind. They had ideas on which activities to do in the towns we were going to and were helpful in connecting us with local operators for certain activities. They were also making sure everyone felt comfortable in the bus and made enough bathroom breaks etc. Especially Brian was a great driver!
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with Bazbus! We're thrilled to hear that the pick-up and drop-off were easy to manage and that our buses were on time. It's great to know that our drivers, especially Brian, were helpful, kind, and made your journey comfortable with thoughtful breaks and local activity suggestions. We truly appreciate your kind words and are glad we could help connect you with local operators to enhance your trip.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Port Elizabeth.
How much does One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Port Elizabeth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Port Elizabeth is not rushed.
Is One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 52 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Port Elizabeth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town?
+
Around 18 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 Port Elizabeth 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 Port Elizabeth and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One-Way Hop-on Hop-off Bus from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town 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 Port Elizabeth 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 Port Elizabeth?
+
On Outty we rank every Port Elizabeth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale, Dolphin & Penguin Island Cruise, Addo Elephant Full Day Safari with a Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) Lunch, Addo Elephant National Park All Inclusive Full-Day Safari. 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 Port Elizabeth?
+
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 Port Elizabeth?
+
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.
