Top 10 Tours in Kalk Bay, Western Cape

November 19, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Kalk Bay (Afrikaans: Kalkbaai) is a fishing village on the coast of False Bay, South Africa and is now a suburb of greater Cape Town. It lies between the ocean and sharply rising mountainous heights that are buttressed by crags of grey Table Mountain Sandstone. A literal translation from the Dutch/Afrikaans name "Kalkbaai" is "Lime Bay". This derives from the vast deposits of mussel shells found there, which early settlers burned to make lime for construction. Lime kilns to roast mussel shells are still found along the west coast. The railway from the central business district of Cape Town to Simon's Town passes through Kalk Bay and in some places the line is only metres from the water's edge.

Well, we discovered way more , we truly discovered how beautifull the local people of Capetown are. Caley was polite, well versed in the subject of food and general info about her beloved city, and had a great sense of humor. We had the most memorable day and just fell in love with the Mother city...

Me and my partner did the India Venster hike with Lynette guiding us and we had the most fantastic day! Lynette was very friendly as well as very knowledgeable of the area and guided us up the mountain as well as through the history of the area and it’s surroundings. We were able to go at our own pace and the hike was very enjoyable and rewarding with a huge sense of achievement when we had finished! You will not look at table mountain the same after doing the walk knowing you have conquered it and I would recommend this hike to absolutely everybody as my partner and I had the best day and loved every second of it! Experiencing the mountain and the nature from the route was surreal and it was a once in a lifetime hike where you will make some incredible memories and see some amazing views. Already looking to book the next one- so many different hikes to do!

I did the Lion's head climb but was a little nervous to go up the chains and ladders and my guide was very accomodating, taking me an alternative path back down the mountain. My guide is a qualified game ranger with 30 plus years experience in the area plus has a background in geology, botany and zoology so I learned so much along the way - about the plants, rock formations etc. i will definitely use this company again and next time I will attempt the chains and ladders because on returning to the bottom I realised that even a lot of pensioners had managed it. I chose to hike with a guide because I did not want to do the climb alone and I am so glad that I did. It was definitely worth it. This company also offers many other hikes in and around Cape town.

Four of us had a fabulous tour with Bev and Ivan. They were great drivers and very knowledgable and friendly tour guides. We've done the area a couple of times before by self-driving, but this was a much more fun way to do it. I was a bit apprehensive before we set out, not being a great fan of motorbikes, but I felt very safe at the maximum, sedate speed of 50kph. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. Thanks again guys. We will be back!!
