Cape Peninsula Day Tour
The drive around the Cape Peninsula is without a doubt one of the most beautifully scenic drives in the whole world and is a must-do activity during your time in Cape Town.
This full-day tour takes in all the heavyweight sights of the Cape Peninsula and delivers an abundance of spectacular coastal landscapes, gorgeous natural destinations, and fascinating information - all wrapped into a comfortable up-market experience.
Guests can look forward to the following destinations: Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, Kalk Bay, Chapmans Peak Drive, and Camps Bay.
Along the way, we will stop for a truly authentic lunch, do some wine tasting, learn about the history and culture of the areas we are passing through, and - if the weather gods smile upon us - even have a chance to dip our toes in the water.
If you are dreaming of experiencing Cape Point and the Peninsula and you're looking for a unique one-of-a-kind tour, you needn't look any further.

What's included in Cape Peninsula Day Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Kalk Bay Harbour
Shortly after departing from Cape Town, we will stop at quirky Kalk Bay, with its many cute galleries, bars and restaurants. We love the vibrant historic harbour with its fleet of weatherworn fishing boats, in all the colours of the rainbow. If we are lucky, we might even see some seals relaxing around the harbour, looking for some scraps.
Cape of Good Hope
Officially known as the Cape of Good Hope, it also boasts a more fearsome moniker: The Cape of Storms. Dozens of ships have met their demise on these rocky shores during some of the Cape's legendary storms and the area is rich with legends and tales. Once we have arrived we will do a quick orientation of the area, its history, and the forces that have shaped it. We'll also visit Cape Point and the old lighthouse that used to warn sailors of the rocky coastline. This is also the most south-westerly point of the African continent and while it is not the meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans (that occurs at the most southerly point of Africa at Cape Agulhas) it is no less spectacular for it. Many beautiful walks dot the reserve, leading to some of the most unspoiled and scenic beaches in the Cape. Our favorite is a tiny sheltered bay called Diaz Beach, where you can enjoy any snacks you bring along. Do be mindful of the baboons strutting around looking for easy pickings!
Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
Next up is Boulders Beach, where you will have a chance to see the colony of African penguins. These animals are critically endangered and this is one of the few accessible places in the world where you can see penguins in the wild. In addition to the main boardwalk walkways within the reserve, you will also have the opportunity to visit a small beach, where you can often have wonderful close-up encounters with the penguins as they waddle along the beautiful beach. This is also an excellent beach to go for a dip in the refreshingly chilly Atlantic Ocean and don't be surprised if a feathered friend joins in the fun.
