Peninsular Scenic Tour (Full Day) PENFD

We depart after picking you up at your hotel, along the spectacular Atlantic Seaboard. We drive through the coastal suburbs of Sea Point, Bantry Bay, and Clifton. We will stop for a photo opportunity of Table Mountain’s impressive Twelve Apostles mountain range. We then travel on past Bakoven and Llandudno which are marked by shipwrecks, boulders, majestic cliffs, and white sandy beaches. Then on to the scenic fishing village of Hout Bay. An optional extra is to board a boat to view the Cape Fur Seal colony on Duiker Island. You will also head over the 600m heights of Chapman’s Peak Drive, which is without a doubt one of the world’s most spectacular mountain passes. You may also have the chance to see seals and watch Southern Right Whales frolicking just offshore from June to November. Explore the rocky coastline and unique Cape Fynbos vegetation which is home to unique birdlife such as African Black Oystercatchers and Cape Sugarbirds amongst others. View wild animals such as the Cape Mountain zebra, bontebok, ostrich, and baboon as we enter Cape Point. Climb to the famous Cape Point Lighthouse to capture the magical vistas of False Bay, and stop at the southwestern most point of Africa – the fabled Cape of Good Hope. (A funicular is an optional extra for those who prefer). Lunch (for your own account) will be at one of the restaurants of your choice after having been giving suggestions by your guide. We will visit Boulders Beach for an exciting close-up encounter with African Penguins. Drive through the historical naval village of Simons town and over yet another spectacular mountain pass, Boyes Drive, where you will take in views of the quaint fishing harbour at Kalk Bay as well as the seaside of St James and Muizenberg. Visit Kirstenbosch Botanicalvillages Gardens – with time to browse these magnificent gardens set on the slopes of Table Mountain before returning to the city.
