Wild Bear Western Cape Escape
10 Days of Ocean Thrill, Airborne Adrenaline & Refined Coastal Living
Luxury Coastal Villa | Kitesurfing | Whale Watching | Game Fishing | Skydiving | Fully Catered
The Western Cape is a land of contrasts — jagged mountain peaks meet vast oceans, wild winds carve through valleys, and untamed nature lives alongside world-class wine and food. At Wild Bear, we’ve captured the very best of this majestic region and distilled it into one bold, unforgettable 10-day package.
This is no ordinary holiday. It’s an immersive experience designed for men and women who crave movement, taste, nature and challenge — all wrapped in effortless luxury. From skydiving above coastal cliffs to eating freshly grilled game fish with a view of whales breaching offshore, this escape is both primal and polished — the very essence of the Wild Bear spirit.
Day 1: Arrival & Coastal Welcome
Arrive in Cape Town and enjoy a private scenic transfer to Yzerfontein. Toast your arrival with Cape sparkling wine and a chef-prepared dinner as the sun melts into the Atlantic. Sleep to the sound of waves.
Day 2: Beachfront Recovery & Exploration
Ease into coastal life. Morning beach walk or paddleboard. Optional sports massage.
Afternoon hike to Schaap Island. Enjoy a West Coast seafood feast with hand-picked South African wines.
Day 3–4: Kitesurfing on the West Coast

Yzerfontein’s long beaches and steady winds make it ideal for beginners and advanced riders alike. Your afternoons are for fireside recovery, outdoor yoga, or just taking in the views from the pool.
Day 5: Deep Sea Game Fishing + Eat What You Catch
Board a private charter at first light and head into deep waters off Dassen Island. Try your hand at catching yellowtail, tuna or snoek with expert local skippers. That evening, enjoy a braai prepared with your own catch, elevated by your chef and served under the stars.
Day 6: Skydiving Over the Atlantic
Today is for the thrill seekers. Take off from a local airfield and experience a tandem skydive with panoramic views of the West Coast, Table Mountain and the far horizon.
