Cape Peninsula Day Tour Cape Point Penguins and Chapman's Peak
- 9 hours
- Free cancellation up to 24h before
- Guided in English
- Instant confirmation
Highlights
We run the Peninsula in a 13-seater minibus with a registered local guide who lives in Cape Town, not a 60-seat coach. Small groups mean we reach Hout Bay and Boulders ahead of the crowds, and there is time to walk and look rather than just photograph from the roadside. You choose between a seat on the shared departure or the whole vehicle to yourselves.

Itinerary
A working fishing harbour under the Sentinel peak, and our first stop of the morning before the coaches arrive. Watch the seals around the boats, browse the craft market, or add an optional boat trip out to the Duiker Island seal colony at your own cost.
One of the finest coastal roads in the country - 114 bends blasted into the cliff face between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. We stop at the viewpoints for photographs. The toll is covered in your fare.
Stand at the south-western tip of Africa where two oceans meet. Your guide walks you to the Cape of Good Hope sign for photographs and points out the baboons, eland and ostrich that roam the reserve.
Ride the Flying Dutchman funicular or walk the path up to the old lighthouse for views over False Bay and the Atlantic. There is time for lunch at the restaurant or a guided walk down to the Cape of Good Hope.
Walk the boardwalk above one of only two mainland African penguin colonies. The birds nest in the dune scrub a few metres from the path, and your guide explains the conservation work that brought the colony back from near collapse.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
