Cape of Good Hope & Penguins Small Group Tour from Cape Town

You will be collected from the airport (applies to multi day tours and safaris only) not day tours.

Shortly after the commencement of the tour, before we leave the city for the coast. We will have the pleasure of making a quick stop in the historic Bo-Kaap to see the brightly coloured houses and discover her history. Here you will get your first Instagram worthy first pictures. Your tour guide will help you identify the streets which really offer the best shots of these colourful houses. The Bo-Kaap is an area of Cape Town, South Africa formerly known as the Malay Quarter. It is a former township, situated on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city centre and is a historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town. The Nurul Islam Mosque, established in 1844, is located in the area.

From the colourful houses of Bo-Kaap, We drive down the coast to Camps bay with a photo stop at Maiden Cove. This moment we call it the Kodak moment, as here you will get the best shots of the bay, twelve apostles mountains, Camps Bay, signal hill and table mountain. Camp's Bay Beach See the beautiful Beverly hills of Cape Town called Camps bay also known as the French Riviera of South Africa. Stop briefly to take photos and enjoy the views of the twelve apostles. Upmarket Camps Bay draws crowds to its namesake beach, known for its fine white sand, natural rock swimming pool and views of the Twelve Apostles mountains. Behind the beach, posh seafood restaurants, mellow cafes and cocktail bars with patios overlook the promenade.

From Camps Bay, We drive to Hout Bay Harbour. Hop on a boat and embark on a 40-minute scenic journey to an island inhabited by more than five thousand (5000) cape fur seals. This activity is not recommended when the sea is rough. Hout Bay offers so many photos opportunities at Seals Island. There is also a market of arts and souvenirs, where one could bargain the price.

As we leave Hout bay we will drive onto the world-famous Chapman's peak drive. A mountainside road is locally known as Chappies. It is an engineering masterpiece! The Chapman's peak drive meanders for 9km along the giant Chapman's peak mountains that drop into the ocean like an avalanche. You will also have an opportunity to stop for photos and enjoy the views.

At the Southern end of the Chapman's peak drive is a farm village that boasts of raw juice, best-roasted coffee in the area as well as small shops, A short stop to indulge in some of these will be offered to you...

Famed the corner of Africa. Where the Cold Atlantic and the Indian oceans share common grounds. The Cape of good hope is however only the most south-westerly point of Africa. Hiking trails to the summit of the Cape makes for great activity and sightseeing. The Cape of good hope sign is also another big attraction. Guest would often need to stand in a queue and if there is no queue, there would be no hope!!

Walk or take a funicular (at your own cost) up to South Africa's 3rd oldest lighthouse for a 360-degree view of the national park. The old lighthouse was launched in 1860 only to be decommissioned for 40 years and dozens of shipwrecks too late after studies proved that its high altitude posed a great danger to sailors around the cape as they couldn't be able to see it in cloudy weather conditions. A new lighthouse was built at a much lower altitude.

Our next stop will be Boulders Beach penguin colony which is home to thousands of the endangered tuxedo swimmers, the African penguin! Here you will walk on the beach and take close up photos of one of our flightless birds. Admission at own account, please check our Inclusions and exclusions for updated entrance fees. African Penguins used to be known as jackass penguins because of their distinctive braying, and they’re the only penguins found on the continent. Colonies can be found from southern Namibia all the way around the South African coast to Port Elizabeth, but few places offer as remarkable a viewing point as Boulders Beach.

As we drive past Muizenberg Beach, you will have a photo stop opportunity at St James Beach well-known for the colourful beach huts. These huts were previously used for changing rooms by sunbathers and are still used for the same reason up until toda...
