Hockey Tour to Cape Town - clubs & schools

Smile Group Travel is delighted to present a memorable trip to the stunning South African city, for schools and club groups of all ages and abilities.

Smile have been running tours to Cape Town for over a decade and it is a destination we know incredibly well.  

This amazing South African city is one of the most stunning places for a sports tour, set as it is in the breathtaking shadow of Table Mountain.

Our tourists are guaranteed the warmest of welcomes, and South African hospitality is second to none.


Why go on a hockey tour to Cape Town?

Hockey is hugely popular in Cape Town and we ensure you play the opposition that suits your standard and requirements.

The region is blessed with an abundace of facilities and pitches, so you will have the opportunity to train and play in superb settings.


What makes up a Smile Group Travel hockey tour?

We have been taking hockey tours all over the world for years, so we recognise the need to blend high-quality facilities, strong match opportunities, and the chance to do plenty of sightseeing. 

Our tours include the provision of professional coaching sessions, access to excellent pitches, and comfortable, safe and appropriate accommodation.

We know the complexities of moving groups of schoolchildren or club members from place to place, and our expert and friendly ground team are always on hand to quickly solve any issues, and keep the tour moving smoothly. 


What is there to do on this tour apart from the hockey?

Smile can lay on engaging and exciting day trips to a variety of attractions in the region.

This trip presents the perfect chance to combine a tour of central Cape Town with Stellenbosch, while Smile's ground team can organise amazing excursions to see the area's unique landscape, including Table Mountain.

Take in a safari or see wildlife on a tour to Boulders Beach and Cape Point: it really is a special place.

Smile have been running tours to South Africa for many years.

We plan the itinerary meticulously to ensure that our groups get the best possible tour experience so, that every tourist returns with wonderful experiences of playing hockey in Cape Town and, crucially, a greater understanding and appreciation of this wonderful country.

What our customers say about us

"An unforgettable week."

“Another incredible visit to Antigua thanks to Smile Group Travel. Cricket in the Sir Vivian Richards stadium was unforgettable and local legends Sir Richie Richardson and Kenny Benjamin dropped in too! Richie even signed a miniature bat for every student as a souvenir! Big thanks to Graeme and the team for ensuring staff and students had an unforgettable week!”

Leigh Academy, Antigua Cricket Tour

"Excellent experience."

“It was my first time in Barbados and for me, it was a fantastic tour from start to finish! Superbly organised by Don Topley and his team, it provided the right balance between the cricket, organised events, socialising and personal relaxation time. Don's intimate knowledge of the island was a real plus with his island tour being an excellent experience. Well done Smile Group Travel!”
