Cape Town Cape Malay cooking in Bo-Kaap with chef Faldela, then a lunch you made. Colorful streets, spice tips, recipes to take.

A truly personal and unforgettable experience”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 37 reviews · 1 hour - 80 minutes · from $34

Private surf lesson at Muizenberg Beach with beginner-friendly coaching, gear discounts, and a first-wave goal in 80 minutes for $34.

“Always wanted to try surfing but never really had the chance (and i was also a bit scared I might lack the strength/skills). Tammy took away all of that from the very beginning - she reached out beforehand to check availability and make sure I planned enough time to get there. From the first minute, she was pure sunshine: super warm, motivating, and instantly calming any nerves. I loved that the lesson was very much learning by doing - straight into the water, just trying, no pressure. She focused on what I was already doing well, gently reminded me when I was too much in my head, and made the…”

Koeksister and Samoosa Class by the Malay Cook Up - Key things to know before you go

12.Koeksister and Samoosa Class by the Malay Cook Up

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9 reviews · from $23Best value

Learn Cape Malay koeksister and samoosa from scratch in a Bo-Kaap home kitchen, with history, tasting, and step-by-step guidance.

“Though our host was lovely and very welcoming we found the actual cooking experience a bit disappointing. The samosa pastry was store bought and there was no insight into how to make the pastry from scratch. I understand it is a complicated and long process but even a partial experience with homemade dough would have been nice. The fillings were pre-done, so one missed out on tasting and smelling and working with the ingredients. The Koesister part of the class was a more interactive and thus more enjoyable and they did taste very good. All in all we had a pleasant experience, just not quite as hands on as we…”
