Nico Fourie, a man with a keen sense of adventure and zest for life, has launched an exciting new tuk tuk business called Tuk It Easy, which is happily based at Hout Bay’s Harbour Road.

In this post, we share all about Tuk It Easy and the amazing experiences you can enjoy with them!

Taking Things Easy in a Tuk Tuk

What better way to explore Hout Bay and surrounds than via a thrilling tuk tuk ride? Well, I bet that’s what Nico Fourie thought too when he came up with his business, Tuk It Easy.

Nico is a man who loves people and the outdoors. In fact, he has spent his lifetime (he is now in his 70s) chasing sunsets, stories and the magic of the people and world around him.

Now, he’s giving back to travel in a big way with his exciting tuk tuk business, which operates exclusively from Hout Bay. Nico has built his business on the relationships he so easily forms with strangers and old friends alike; he has really harnessed his sense of community and passion for connection, adding plenty of heart and infectious love of travel to his endeavour.

Nico has the belief that, no matter where you are from, there is always “room for one more on this ride”.

Standard and Custom Tuk It Easy Tours

While Tuk It Easy primarily offers some standard local tours, including their popular one-hour
Chapman’s Peak Drive experience and five-hour Simon’s Town experience, they can also offer custom tours that suit the traveller’s personal preference.

For their one-hour Chappies tour, you will experience the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive. The tour starts at the colourful Hout Bay Harbour and offers its guests a wonderful array of coastal views, fresh air, unforgettable memories and moments near the sea and of course, the chance to soak up the beauty of one of the world’s most incredibly engineered, world-famous drives.

Aside from this tour, guests can also book their five-hour Simon’s Town tour. This tour takes guests through some of the Mother City’s finest coastal suburbs, including Hout Bay (with Chappies Drive thereafter), Noordhoek, Misty Cliffs, Scarborough and of course, cheerful, historic Simon’s Town, where proud naval history and incredible natural ocean beauty co-exist harmoniously.

Once done, you will cruise back along the scenic coastline, ending a day of pure Cape magic, fresh ocean air and coastal beauty.

Note: Tuk It Easy tours can operate in most weather conditions but in extreme weather conditions when tours are unsafe and inoperable, the tour experience can be rescheduled or you can opt for a full refund.
