Overview

This Cape peninsula tour is a remarkable one. With its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches and breathtaking views, the reserve is truly a sight to behold. Cape Point is more than just a pretty place; it is also home to a unique variety of fauna and flora.
The wind feels like it comes from the south pole, strong and crisp. It certainly is pure, some of the cleanest air in all of Africa according to the local laboratories, which use Cape Point as a base to measure the air that has passed over the southern Atlantic Ocean. While on this tour, be on the lookout for Antelopes, Ostrich, Zebras, Baboons and other animals. Also look at the Ocean for Whales during the Cape whale season (June - December). This is really a unique and special tour.

Activity itinerary

Cape Town (Pass by)

After we have picked you up, your guide will give a brief description on how the day will be like. Here, you can discuss with your guide and make some changes, if necessary, in order to make your tour more personalized.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway

1h
Admission ticket not included

one of the highlight of this tour is the iconic Table Mountain, which will be our first stop. The mountain is rich in diverse wildlife, including rare species that can only be found in this area. The mountain forms part of Table Mountain National Park which is globally recognised for its biodiversity with its truly unique and incredibly beautiful fauna and flora. At the upper cable station, you will find a network of footpaths to explore the table top. Get your camera ready, though. The views are simply stunning all around the top of the mountain. Table Mountain stands tall and proud as an iconic natural wonder in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. With its breathtaking views, diverse flora and fauna and historical significance, Table Mountain is perhaps best known for its flat top which, because it resembles a table top, has garnered the mountain its now famous name. Cable car operation is also weather dependent.

Clifton (Pass by)

Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean

Hout Bay

Hout Bay is a beautiful heavily wooded Valley behind Table Mountain which became the main source of timber for the building and repairs of ships and also for buildings such as the Castle of Good Hope. Protective Mountains and a good fishing area surround Hout Bay. The fishing village of Hout Bay was probably established in about 1867 when a German immigrant, Jacob Trautmann, began to Farm and fish in the Area. Its name dates back to 1653 and relates to the quantity of excellent timber that early Dutch settlers found to be growing in its ravines. It is also known as the "Republic of Hout Bay and has a President and Passport! (This a Tourism Ploy, organized by the Local Rotarian Residents!) They are also famous for the "Fish and Chips" in the Harbour Area!

Noordhoek (Pass by)

Noordhoek, at the southern end of Chapman's Peak Drive, is a vibrant rural and artistic community village just 25 minutes south of Cape Town – the last remaining truly rural area and country village in the Cape Peninsula. Noordhoek offers a tranquil country lifestyle combined with a colourful village atmosphere. Horse-riding on Noordhoek Beach is one of the most popular activities in Noordhoek and Noordhoek Farm Village is one of the main centres in the town for accommodation, dining, shopping and entertainment. The Red Herring Trading Post is another popular shopping and eating centre. Vineyards and vegetable farming are returning to Noordhoek. Indigenous Cape Fynbos - including groves of scarce Milkwood and Yellowwood trees - cover the slopes of surrounding mountains and stretch down to the coastal plain and wetlands area.

Chapman's Peak Drive

10m
Admission ticket included

Chapman’s Peak Drive on the Atlantic Coast between Hout Bay and Noordhoek in the Cape Peninsula is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. Chapman’s Peak Drive is affectionately known as “Chappies” and is a must for anyone passionate about the majestic scenery of Cape Town.

Bakoven

Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean Maiden's Cove is the perfect spot to create memories with spectacular photos as you look at the magnificent views of the Twelve Apostles and Camps Bay beach. This cove is one of the best places in Cape Town to take panoramic photos of the Ocean

Cape Point Nature Reserve

1h
Admission ticket not included

Cape Point Nature Reserve forms part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a popular part of the Table Mountain National Park. This region is home to some 250 bird species, including gulls, eagles, Cape sugarbirds, and sunbirds as well as the endangered African black oystercatchers. If you’re lucky you can spot a variety of antelope such as klipspringer, steenbok, eland, and the Cape mountain zebra. In the rock pools, Cape clawless otters can be found, and let’s not forget the well-known chacma baboons. Lesser spotted animals are caracal and the small-spotted genet. Reptiles and amphibians are also abundant - look out for the very rare Table Mountain ghost frog or Cape chirping frog.

Cape Point

The Point has been treated with respect by sailors since it was first sighted by Dias in 1488. By day, it was a landmark of great navigational value until the introduction of radar. By night, and in fog, it was a menace beset by violent storms and dangerous rocks that over centuries littered shipwrecks around the coastline. In 1959, the first lighthouse was completed; it stands at 238 meters above sea level on the highest section of the peak and is now used as the centralized monitoring point for all lighthouses on the coast of South Africa. Cape Point is in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve within Table Mountain National Park, which forms part of the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

Our next and probably the most important stop is the Boulders Beach in Simon's Town to see the Penguins. Here we will take you as close as possible to these wonderful creatures. As we leave Simon's Town for Cape Town, we will pass through of Muizenberg where we will see the colourful huts. These huts are used as changing rooms. We should drop you back at your hotel at around 18:00 pm

Cape Town (Pass by)

After everything is done, we will drive back to Cape Town, drop you at your hotel and call it a day.

Cape of Good Hope

2h
Admission ticket included

Named by Portugal’s King John II, this area has captured the imagination of European sailors such as Dias who first named it the Cape of Storms in 1488, and later in 1580 Sir Francis Drake who called it “The Fairest Cape in all the World”. This area is rich in cultural and natural heritage. This is one of the top tourist destinations in South Africa. Due to the variety of wildlife that occurs here, it is the only section of the Table Mountain National Park that is fenced and visitors should look out for Eland, Red Hartebeest, Bontebok, and Zebra.
