This curated West Coast escape is fully flexible and can be adapted to suit each client’s preferences, with optional additions such as a relaxed lunch at a local restaurant available on request. The journey begins with a private boat tour around Dassen Island, exploring a rugged coastline shaped by the Benguela Current and a maritime history defined by shipwrecks and seafaring stories. From the ocean, the experience flows into an authentic West Coast smokehouse, where premium cuts of meat are seasoned with seasonal marinades and slow-smoked over African hardwoods.

The adventure continues inland with a guided off-road buggy experience on a purpose-built dirt track, offering a controlled yet exhilarating dose of adrenaline through scenic farm landscapes. Guests then settle in for an overnight stay at Darling Lodge, a beautifully restored Victorian country home offering calm and comfort in the heart of Darling. The journey concludes the next morning with a serene horse-riding experience through a protected nature reserve and along the white sands of Yzerfontein Beach, South Africa’s longest uninterrupted beach—an unforgettable final connection with the West Coast.
