Indulge in an adventure that blends high-flying thrills with gourmet delights, capturing the very essence of the Cape Peninsula. The aim of the day is to explore the highlights of the Cape Peninsula, looking for any excuse to embrace the ocean and the great outdoors in this unique and spectacular habitat to explore one of the most unique marine habitats in the world. Undoubtedly the highlight of the day will be starting it with a bird's eye view of the peninsula.
Start your day with an exhilarating scenic helicopter tour of the Cape Peninsula, soaring over Kommetjie, Scarborough, Cape Point Nature Reserve, and the majestic crags of Cape Point & Simon's Town. The breathtaking vistas from above set the stage for your on-land discoveries.
Touching down in Simon's Town, you'll be greeted by our guide and a private adventure vehicle, ready to explore the wonders of the Cape Peninsula. Once on land in Simon’s Town, 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). Dive into the rich naval history of Simon's Town, with its museums and monuments unveiling captivating insights into its past.
Continuing towards the Cape of Good Hope, we venture into the Peninsula Reserve for a gentle hike, unveiling secluded beaches, shipwrecks, and unique wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for the Cape 5 - Ostrich, Baboons, Mountain Zebra, Bontebok, and Tortoise - as we traverse this pristine region.
An exclusive gourmet lunch experience awaits, hosted by the esteemed Chef Nicky Gibbs in her personal home. Chef to renowned rockstars, she crafts a delectable 6-course set menu, thoughtfully paired with botanical teas, each ingredient foraged from her own garden. A feast for the senses in a beautiful setting with panoramic views of Noordhoek Valley.
Following this delicate lunch, an exciting transfer awaits - funky Side-Cars will whisk you back to Cape Town via the dramatic coastal toll road of Chapman's Peak Drive. Feel the wind in your hair and soak in the awe-inspiring landscapes of ocean and mountains along this unforgettable journey.
