At the tip of the Cape Peninsula you will find Cape Point within the Table Mountain National Park. The expansive Table Mountain National Park stretches from Signal Hill and Table Mountain in the north to Cape Point in the south and encompasses the seas and coastline of the peninsula.  Within Cape Point the treacherous cliffs forming the most south-western tip of Africa are some of the highest in the world and mark the spot where the cold Beguela current on the West coast and the warm Agulhas current on the East coast merge.  Inside the reserve you will find a variety of animals including buck, baboons and Cape Mountain Zebra as well as over 250 species of birds and indigenous flora that is found nowhere else in the world.

Boulders Penguin Colony is home to a colony of the vulnerable African Penguin. Wooden walkways allow visitors to view the penguins in their natural habitat and there is also a new information center. By 1982 there were only two breeding pairs remaining. Incredible conservation efforts have grown the Boulders colony to over 3,000 birds in recent years. Don’t forget your towels as you can also take a swim with the penguins!

Robben Island is a mere 12 Kilometres from Cape Town and ferries depart from Nelson Mandela Gateway in the V&A Waterfront.  Robben Island has a very long and interesting history.  For nearly 400 years, Robben Island, was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment and now it is a museum that contributes to the socio-economic development and transformation of the South African society and enrich humanity. Nelson Mandela spent many years on the island imprisoned.

The tour takes approximal 4 hours.
