Cape Town Peninsula - Full-Day Tour

Don't forget your camera! Relax as you enjoy the awe-inspiring drive, passing steep mountains, secluded coves and sweeping beaches, as well as villages and fishing communities as you head to Cape Point at the south-western tip of the Cape...

  • 9 hours
  • Admire breathtaking views of the majestic coastline
  • Stroll around the stunning Cape Point Nature Reserve
  • Discover some of Cape Town's most iconic locations

Start the morning with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburb of Sea Point then Camps Bay with its glorious views of the Twelve Apostles, part of the Table Mountain range. Continue to the fishing village of Hout Bay, one of Cape Town's best-kept secrets. Here you will have the option to take a short boat trip to Duiker Island (not included & time permitting) to view the Cape Fur Seals, which inhabit the island.

Next, travel to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, comprising over 17 300 acres of indigenous fauna and flora. Here you will have the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife that includes baboons, rhebok, Cape Mountain zebra, bontebok, and the elusive eland. The reserve is also one of the world’s largest breeding grounds for tortoises. Bird-watchers, too, will find many fine species to observe.

The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called “Nature's Greatest Show”. Watch the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend), and feel the brisk wind that is dubbed the “Cape Doctor” for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, return to Cape Town via Simon’s Town, where you visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach (not included), Fish Hoek fishing village, and Muizenberg. Before arriving back in Cape Town, passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, and the Groote Schuur Hospital.
