One of Jake & Antonia's favourite days out

Cape Point & Peninsula

Private full-day tour · Cape Town
“Travel along the Atlantic Seaboard through Camps Bay and Hout Bay, cross the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive, explore Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, visit the African penguins at Boulders Beach and return along the beautiful False Bay coastline.”
In the operator’s own words

One of the Western Cape's great scenic journeys.

“Leave central Cape Town and travel along the Atlantic Seaboard through Clifton and Camps Bay, with the Twelve Apostles mountain range rising dramatically above the coastline.”

“Weather and road conditions permitting, the route follows the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive, carved into the mountainside above the Atlantic Ocean. The journey continues into the Cape Point section of Table Mountain National Park, where rugged mountains, indigenous fynbos and dramatic coastline create one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the Western Cape.”

Worth knowing before you say yes

Private, not a coach

The vehicle and guide are yours for the day, so you can linger at the penguins and skip the lighthouse queue.

Roughly eight hours

Hotel collection around 08:30, back before dinner. Park entry, lunch and the optional Hout Bay boat trip are extra.

Weather has a vote

Chapman’s Peak closes in high wind or rain, and the order of the day shifts with traffic and conditions.
