Private Half Day City, Table Mountain and Sunset Cruise Tour, including entrance fees

You will be met at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel to start your Private Half Day Afternoon City, Table Mountain and Sunset Cruise Tour. Depart the city in the afternoon for Table Mountain’s Lower Cableway Station. We will explore the mountain’s summit and absorb the breathtaking views before descending. We then return to the city via the old Cape Malay Quarter, for a walk through the Company’s Garden, a fresh produce garden for ships and locals from the mid-17th century, and now home to the South African Museum, Houses of Parliament, National Gallery and St. George’s Cathedral. We stroll through the city to Greenmarket Square, where you can browse the bustling market stalls for beautiful and unique African mementos. From here, we drive to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront to board a traditionally designed 58ft gaff-rigged schooner, easily identified in the bay by her rusty brown sails. Our sunset sail around Table Bay affords fabulous views of the city lights and surrounding scenery, while enjoying sparkling wines and soft drinks. After the experience you will be dropped off at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel.

Table Mountain was officially named one of the New 7 wonders of Nature in December 2012. Both local and international tourists are adding the New 7 Wonders of Nature sites to their “bucket lists”. Table Mountain is the most accessible of the New 7 Wonders and is the only one in a city.

Day 3

You will be met at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel to start your Private “The Very Best of the Cape Peninsula” Full Day Tour. We make our way along the Atlantic seaboard passing Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Clifton. Bakoven and Llandudno, with their ghostly shipwrecks, are also fantastic sights on the way to the fishing village of Hout Bay, where we board a scheduled boat to view the Cape fur seal colony on Duiker Island (weather dependent). From here we navigate the 114 curves of 600m high Chapman’s Peak Drive. We enter the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park with its unique Cape fynbos vegetation and home to birds like African black oystercatchers and Cape sugarbirds as well as to very special fauna including Cape mountain zebra, bontebok (both endemic) and the charismatic Cape baboon. Climb (or ride the world’s first environmentally friendly funicular) to the famous Cape Point Lighthouse to capture the magical vistas of False Bay. After lunch, we visit Boulders Beach to see the penguins, and then head home through the naval village of Simonstown and over scenic Boyes Drive, taking in the views of the fishing harbour at Kalk Bay and the seaside havens of St. James and Muizenberg. To round off your day you can take a stroll through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens on the slopes of Table Mountain. After the experience you will be dropped off at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel.

You will be met at Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel to start your Private Full Day Into the Vines & Wines Tour. Depart the city for the Winelands in the nearby Boland Mountains for a leisurely exploration of historic towns, liquid delights, gastronomic wonders and home-grown hospitality. Wine estates visited will vary according to client preferences, but the tour generally includes the region’s major wine producing areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek, and there are chances aplenty en route for tastings of world-renowned reds and whites, as well as Cap Classiques – South Africa’s answer to “Champagne”. Lunch at one of the many classic, award-winning restaurants in the area. Natural and historic heritage abounds in this area and your tour may take in sights like the Afrikaans Language Monument with its panoramic Boland views. Idyllic Franschhoek, nestled in a valley settled by French Huguenots in 1688, is a delight for both antique lovers and gastronomes alike. Stellenbosch, South Africa’s second-oldest town, provides another glimpse of classic 17th century Cape style, with a chance to browse quaint Dorp Street and the many museums, galleries and shops of this lovely university town.
