Description
Embark on a breathtaking full-day journey along the Cape Peninsula, where you'll start with the stunning coastal drive and end it with a scenic drive through Simon's Town.
Embark on an unforgettable journey along the Cape Peninsula, where nature’s grandeur meets historical intrigue. Our full-day tour promises breathtaking vistas, fascinating wildlife encounters, and iconic landmarks. Buckle up as we explore this dramatic rocky peninsula, stretching 30 kilometers from the northern tip of Table Mountain to the southernmost edge of Cape Town.
Our adventure begins with a tour of the Cape Town City Bowl, leading us past the vibrant V&A Waterfront to the Atlantic Seaboard’s main suburbs. Along the way, soak in the beauty of Green Point, Sea Point, Clifton, and Camps Bay. These Blue Flag beaches, framed by the glistening Atlantic Ocean on one side and the majestic Twelve Apostle mountains on the other, set the stage for an awe-inspiring journey.
Our first stop is the charming fishing village of Hout Bay. Here, you’ll have the option to embark on an exhilarating boat trip to Seal Island—a delightful experience that offers panoramic views of the rugged coastal landscape. As we continue, brace yourself for Chapman’s Peak Drive, a winding road that hugs the cliffs and offers unparalleled vistas. If the weather permits, this drive is a highlight, revealing the raw beauty of the coastline.
Prepare to stand at the edge of the world as we arrive at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. This international icon, steeped in historical significance, captivates visitors with its rugged cliffs, crashing waves, and endemic flora. Ascend to the Cape Point Lighthouse, either by a short but rewarding hike or via the funicular railway. From the summit, gaze across the vast expanse of ocean, where whales and dolphins occasionally make appearances.
Our next destination is Boulders Beach, home to a charismatic colony of African penguins. These tuxedo-clad birds settled here in 1982, creating a delightful spectacle for visitors. Stroll along the boardwalks, observe their playful antics, and capture memorable photos. It’s a heartwarming encounter with nature’s cutest ambassadors.
Recharge with a delectable lunch at either Seaforth or Harbour House, both offering stunning vistas. Savour local flavours while surrounded by the coastal beauty that defines the Cape Peninsula.
After lunch, our journey continues through the historic naval town of Simons Town. Explore its charming streets, visit museums, and perhaps even spot a naval vessel in the harbour. Don’t miss the chance to see the iconic Victoria-era beach huts lining the shore.
