Experience the beauty and diversity of Cape Town's natural landscapes on a day tour of the picturesque Cape Peninsula. Your knowledgeable local guide will accompany you on your journey to discover hidden gems and immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery of the region. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore Cape Town's natural exquisiteness.
Start the day with a pick-up from your Cape Town accommodation. Journey south through Constantia Valley to Muizenberg, known for its white sandy beach and colourful beach huts.
We will be making a brief stop to explore Kalk Bay – a charming neighbourhood centred around a fishing harbour. The area is well-known for its vibrant creativity, unique shops, and stunning scenery. From here, our journey will continue southward along the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula, taking us to Simon's Town. This suburb is home to the South African Navy and boasts breathtaking colonial architecture.
We visit Boulders Beach, world-famous for its thriving colony of African Penguins. Although set amid a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this endangered bird can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment.
Lunch can be enjoyed at one of Simon's Town's lovely restaurants with spectacular views. Recommendations will be provided by your guide.
We continue southwards towards Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve at the tip of the Cape Peninsula. Upon entry, look out for roaming ostriches or mischievous baboons as you drive up to the spectacular Cape Point. A funicular ride to the top is not to be missed, offering panoramic views of the peninsula and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Having your photo taken at the famed Cape of Good Hope sign, marking the south-westernmost tip of the African continent, is a must.
As we travel along the western side of the Cape Peninsula towards Chapmans Peak Drive, we head north along a gorgeous coastal route with mountains towering above and sheer drops to the sea below. The curves and twists of the road seem to go on forever, making it easy to understand why this is considered one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world.
After a quick stop to take photos at Chapman's Peak, we continue driving towards Hout Bay, a former fishing village located in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula. We proceed along the striking Atlantic Seaboard, passing the affluent suburbs of Camps Bay and Llandudno that lie below the Twelve Apostles mountain range and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at your accommodation in Cape Town.
