Time to dust off the spanners, check the oil, and get those machines ready because The Wild Buggers Beach Buggy Club is hitting the road again. On Sunday, 11 October 2026, we are rolling out for the Castle and Chappies Cruise, and you do not want to miss this one.Whether you drive a custom beach buggy, a rugged Baja Bug, or an old school VW that turns heads at every robot, clear your calendar. This is your chance to join a Cape Town convoy for an unforgettable day of cruising, history, and good times with mates.
No tickets, no complicated booking forms, and zero stress—just rock up on the day, line up with the crew, and ride.
The Plan for the Day
09:30 AM – 10:00 AM | The Meetup at Bothasig KFC
Kick off the morning with fellow club members in the parking lot. Grab a quick briefing, check your route, and switch on those buggy headlights.
10:00 AM | Wheels Up
Head out and make our way toward our first major stop.
10:20 AM | Castle of Good Hope Arrival
Pull into the visitor parking at the back of the castle grounds to keep the beach buggies safely grouped together.
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Public Guided Castle Tour
Join our 60-minute guided walk exploring the old bastions, the William Fehr Collection, and the historic dungeons.
Pricing: Adults R50, Students & Pensioners R25, Children R10. (Note: If this run falls within your birthday month, you enter the Castle for free!)
12:00 PM | The Peninsula Cruise
Fire up the engines for a scenic drive down the peninsula toward the coast.
01:00 PM onwards | Chappies Picnic
Take on the iconic Chapman's Peak Drive. We will pull the convoy into one of the stone ocean-view laybys, unpack our cooler boxes, and enjoy a relaxed lunch on the cliffs. Good news: The club will cover your toll gate fee for the day.
Afternoon Mingle | Mariner's Wharf & Harbour
Wrap up the afternoon by driving directly into the water-facing parking lot at Mariner's Wharf. Line up the buggies side-by-side, stretch your legs, and watch the Cape Fur Seals down at Hout Bay Harbour.
Get Involved
