Cycle through the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, hike from the Cape Point lighthouse, and visit a penguin colony – a fun day on the Cape Peninsula.
On this full-day Cape Peninsula tour, you’ll follow the Atlantic coast past Clifton, Camps Bay, and Llandudno to the fishing village of Hout Bay, where you have the option of doing a 30-minute boat cruise to Duiker Island (which many people also call Seal Island) to visit a Cape fur seal colony.
Then it’s over scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive, through Noordhoek, Kommetjie, and Scarborough to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Get off the bus and onto a mountain bike to smell the sea air and see the flowers. You can cycle as much or as little as you like – the support van is always nearby.
For more fresh air, take the 30-minute cliff-top hike from Cape Point, where the two lighthouses are, to the Cape of Good Hope, the most south-westerly point of Africa.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the reserve and return to the city center via the False Bay coast to visit a rare colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town.
