The aim of the day is to explore the highlights of the Cape Peninsula in a unique way off the beaten path, looking for any excuse to embrace the ocean and explore one of the most unique marine habitats in the world.
Today we embark on an unforgettable journey along the breathtaking Cape Peninsula and its enchanting False Bay coastline.
Our adventure begins in the vibrant town of Muizenberg, famous for its surf culture. We'll then meander to Kalk Bay, a charming seaside village with a bohemian flair. Here, we'll kickstart the day with a delightful coffee at one of our beloved bakeries/coffee shops. As we stroll through the town, you'll be immersed in the sights and sounds of its quaint streets, filled with antiques, galleries, and local artisans. Kalk Bay's fishing harbour will captivate you with its colorful boats and bustling fish processing activities. Kalk Bay is a working fishing community filled with brightly coloured boats, some noisy seals and even louder ladies hard at work processing the day’s catch!
From here, we will drive along the coast towards Simon’s Town, where we will search for our own rogue penguins – a splinter colony away from the crowded boardwalks over the main breeding site, on a beach known mostly to locals. Perhaps if the weather is favourable you could test out your balancing skills on a stand-up paddle board/kayak to really get to know the penguins in their own environment. (This is optional). Alternatively, we will take you on an educational and enlightening penguin walk on the walkways bordering the penguin sanctuary.
Your guide will tell you more about the rich history surrounding this naval town, the museums and monuments provide plenty of insight into this historical harbour town.
We will then continue on to the Cape of Good Hope. In the Peninsula Reserve we will enjoy a gentle hike exploring secluded beaches, shipwrecks and this region’s unique wildlife while on the hunt for the Cape 5 (Ostrich, Baboons, Mountain Zebra, Bontebok and Tortoise). Along the way, we will find a secluded scenic spot to enjoy a delicious gourmet picnic in a beautiful setting.
Wind the afternoon down with a visit to the local Noordhoek Farm Village where you can all enjoy a delicious artisanal ice cream at Kristen's Kick Ass Ice Cream, before heading back towards the city centre along the most scenic drive of all: Chapman's Peak. Stop at a magical surprise location for an early evening drink as a local.
