About This Tour

This full-day private tour takes you on an unforgettable journey around the Cape Peninsula, showcasing the region's most spectacular natural attractions.

Ideal for first-time visitors, the itinerary blends scenic driving with light hiking and stops at iconic landmarks. A picnic lunch is included, and a qualified English/French-speaking guide provides commentary throughout. This is a fully private tour — only your group will participate.

Your Itinerary

Hotel Pickup (7:45–8:30 am)

Your guide picks you up from your central Cape Town hotel or selected accommodation. All hotels in City Centre, Sea Point, and Camps Bay are included. Please wait in the hotel lobby for your guide.

Camps Bay & the Twelve Apostles (approx. 15 min)

Drive along the Atlantic Seaboard with the iconic Twelve Apostles mountain range as your backdrop. Pass the white sands of Camps Bay Beach and enjoy sweeping ocean views on the way south.

Hout Bay (approx. 45 min)

Arrive at the charming fishing village of Hout Bay, where the golden sands of the Atlantic seaboard meet the warm waters of the bay. Optionally, take a boat cruise to Duiker Island to see the Cape Fur seal colony (available at your own expense — bring cash).

Chapman's Peak Drive (approx. 1 hour)

Wind your way along the world-famous Chapman's Peak Drive — 114 curves of breathtaking coastal road carved into the cliffsides above the sea. Every turn reveals a new postcard-worthy view. A light breakfast snack is served here. Admission is included.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, Simon's Town (approx. 1 hour)

Visit the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach — one of the only places in the world where you can get up close to these charming birds. The colony has grown from just two breeding penguins to over 3,000. Simon's Town itself is a charming naval town with a vibrant history and the South African Navy Museum nearby.

Cape Point Nature Reserve & Picnic Lunch (approx. 1 hour)

Enter the Cape Point Nature Reserve for a picnic lunch amid stunning scenery. Visit the iconic lighthouse and then hike approximately 45 minutes to the legendary Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge.

Cape of Good Hope (approx. 3 hours)

Hike to the Cape of Good Hope and take in the full drama of Diaz Beach, with its sheer cliffs and wild Atlantic waves. Stand at the edge of the continent and absorb the history of this centuries-old landmark of exploration and adventure before returning to your accommodation.
