Visit the Cape Peninsula as it dramatically juts out into the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Cape Town. Your tour passes the southwesternmost point of the African continent and features pristine white-sand beaches met by craggy mountains interspersed with quaint little coastal towns. Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope can be found along the southern end of this spectacularly scenic peninsula, while the northern tip is crowned by the world-famous Table Mountain, which towers over the city of Cape Town. Visitors can look forward to a wide selection of activities, including exploring the magnificent Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, viewing the colony of African penguins on Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town and hopping on a boat ride to Seal Island from Hout Bay as a Tour Enhancements (optional activities with additional charges).
Starting from your hotel or guest house accommodation in Cape Town, you'll spend some of the morning driving along the False Bay coastline. This scenic drive will allow you to see seals, dolphins, and whales, depending on what the ocean has in store for you that day.
Your tour includes a stop at Boulders Beach near Simon's Town to see the famous South African Penguins formerly known as 'Jackass Penguins'. Be sure to pop into one of the renowned restaurants along the way, such as Olympia Cafe & Bakery in Kalk Bay, for a snack on the run and a taste of local culture.
You will then head to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve to visit the most South-Western Point of South Africa. You will also see the iconic lighthouse at Cape Point before meandering our way back via the scenic Chapmans Peak Drive, stopping off for lunch and tasting.
Tasting could be a cheekily crafted beer, handcrafted gin or a magnificent wine estate wine in the area. Here, you can reminisce about your adventure and soak in some fantastic views on Chapman Peak Drive on the way back to your accommodation.
