On a day tour of the West Coast, one can travel as far north as St Helena Bay and Velddrif. During the spring flower season (normally the second half of August and early September), a visit to the various nature reserves and other areas where an abundance of spring flowers can be enjoyed, is very popular. This aside, the West Coast –with its fishing communities, abundance of interesting little bays and fascinating history and prehistory – makes for a really worthwhile day tour year-round.
 
One of the richest fossil sites in the world may be visited at the West Coast Fossil Park, where 200 different kinds of fossilised animals have been discovered.
 
Depending on the available time, the following are some of the highlights that may be included:

• Blouberg Strand, the Mamre Mission Station, Darling and Evita’s Perron
• Yzerfontein, Langebaan and Saldanha Bay
• West Coast Nature Reserve including the Potsberg Nature Reserve
• Spring flowers and bird watching
• The West Coast Fossil Park at Langebaanweg and Paternoster
