See the towering headland known as Cape Point, magnificent beaches, and breathtaking views from Chapman’s Peak Drive, Simon’s Town, and Kirstenbosch Gardens in a single day.
The Cape Peninsula, which stretches from the city center to Cape Point, is one of the world’s most scenic areas. Your exploration starts at 8:30 am, taking you along the Atlantic Seaboard via Sea Point, Clifton, and Camps Bay, and stopping at a Llandudno look-out point before continuing to the quaint village and fishing harbor of Hout Bay with its magnificent mountain views and beach. Here you can take an optional boat trip to Duiker Island, which many call Seal Island.
Go over Chapman’s Peak, one of the world’s most breathtaking coastal drives, to Cape Point and the Good Hope Nature Reserve, where you’ll find magnificent fynbos vegetation, birdlife, zebra and endemic antelope species, historic lighthouses, and shipwrecks.
After lunch at Cape Point, you’ll head up the Indian Ocean side of the peninsula to Simon’s Town, which has charming Victorian architecture, a naval base, and a large African penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
After one last stop at the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the tour ends at around 5:30 pm.
