Overview

This private day trip lasts about 8 to 10 hours and covers several key spots along the Cape Peninsula. The tour includes private transportation and entrance to the Boulders Beach penguin colony. The route begins at Muizenberg Beach where guests view the surfers, Seal Island, and the Hottentots Holland Mountains from the Shark Spotter vantage point. There is a chance to see whales in season. Next, the tour stops in Simon's Town for photos at Jubilee Square, the Just Nuisance statue, and a break to enjoy coffee while observing the town's British-style architecture. At Boulders Beach, guests have 45 minutes to walk among the penguin colony and visit the beach for close-up views of the birds. The tour then proceeds to the Cape of Good Hope area, spending about two hours exploring off-the-beaten-path sections with unique endemic plant life. The visit includes Cape Point and lunch at the Two Oceans restaurant, followed by a photo stop at the Cape of Good Hope itself. Additional stops include Scarborough Beach, a quiet cove with a white sandy beach and birdlife; Noordhoek Farm Village, known for its local shops, coffee, and ice cream; and Chapman's Peak Drive, a historic coastal route with a photo stop at its summit. The tour also pauses at Camp's Bay Beach for photos of the seaside town and its restaurants. There are two optional add-ons: a one-hour walk in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden to see South African flora, especially Fynbos, and a 30-minute wine tasting at Cape Point Vineyards, which offers views of the beach, mountains, and village. Bottled water and the Chapmans Peak Toll fee are included. Lunch and entrance fees to Cape of Good Hope National Park and any extras are not included.
