Cape Peninsula with Lunch – Departure 08h30
This is an awe-inspiring tour to the towering headland known as Cape Point. Magnificent beaches, breathtaking views, historic and picturesque coastal villages are to be seen along the way. The Cape Peninsula is one of the world’s most scenic areas and stretches from the City centre to Cape Point.
Depart from the hotel and enjoy the scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean en-route to Hout Bay
We follow the coastal route which hugs the dramatic cliff side along the Atlantic Ocean, before being welcomed by the sentinel upon arrival in Hout Bay. Once a fishing community, now a popular residential area, the harbour still has a charm of days gone by.
The tour continues over the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive – if open, with a 200 meter drop on one side of the coach and a 200 meter rise on the other, as we make our way south, following the Atlantic Ocean until we reach Cape Point.
At Cape Point we drive through the nature reserve and admire the endemic ‘fynbos’ and we may even spot wild animals like Zebra, ostrich, antelope or even snakes! You can walk up the steep pathway or ride in the Flying Dutchman funicular, to the lighthouse where panoramic views await of the meeting place of the icy Atlantic and warm Indian Oceans
Said to be the romantic meeting place of the two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian, Sir Francis Drake the Explorer once called it “the fairest Cape that we saw in the whole circumference of the Globe”. And rightly so, it must be the highlight of any visit to the Mother City, if not SA
We pass the naval base of Simon’s Town as we continue along the Indian Ocean, en route to see the Jackass penguin colony which has become well established at Boulders Beach before ending the tour back at your hotel.
This is a super tour to get the feel of the coastline and see the lovely penguins.

- Chapmans Peak (if open), Cape Point, Funicular and Boulders Penguins
- Lunch at Black Marlin included
- 1 X Bottled Water & Snacks

Half Day City with Table Mountain
We will travel to Table Mountain, where you can ascend to the top [weather permitting] by the revolving cable car. Here, you’ll see wild flowers and the famous silver tree, and marvel at a birds-eye view of the city and its beaches. On a clear day it is even possible to see Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on one side and Cape Point on the other.
Our drive through the city centre takes us past famous landmarks such as the Castle of Good Hope built in 1666 by the Dutch East India Company and City Hall, a baroque building and the Grand Parade.
As we follow the city’s main thoroughfare, Adderley Street, we will see St. George’s Cathedral, the Anglican Diocese of Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We will pass the Company Gardens and the Malay Quarter [also known as the Bo-Kaap] which means “Above Cape” because of its location up against the slopes of Table Mountain.
