Full-Day Private Cape Peninsula Tour

Cape Point

1 hour

We will stand on what feels like the edge of the world at the southernmost point of the Cape Peninsula and look out over seas that seem to extend forever from dramatic granite cliffs

Cape of Good Hope

30 min

See and hear the Atlantic ocean waves crash on the stoney beaches at The Cape of Good Hope. This is the extreme south-westerly outcrop of Africa and the most longed-for indicator for early sailors to steer North on their way home to Europe.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

1 hour

Simons Town is home to a unique land-based colony of endangered African Penguins. It is one of a few in the world. We will get close enough to observe and photograph these curious and entertaining birds. Jim will give you detailed information about the birds and what is happening currently according to the season.

Chapman's Peak Drive

45 min

We will soak up magnificent Cape scenery from this idyllic pass, carved into the cliff above the ocean. It is a sought-after destination for films and advertisements because of its beauty. The views it offers over the Hout Bay cove and glistening waters are the sort that stops hearts and steals breath away. We will be able to step out of the vehicle along the way to soak up the incredible vistas and take photographs.

Muizenberg

1 hour

We will hug the coastline following the coast road around the Cape Flats and as it winds fast the lazy suburbs with quaint names like Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay, St James and Glencairn until we enter the gates of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.

Noordhoek Beach

15 min

Noordhoek Beach is 9 km long and is the most unspoiled and best protected on the Atlantic Cape coast. It stretches between Chapman’s peak rising out of the sea, and Kommetjie lighthouse. The protected wetlands, along the beach, have kept it free of urban sprawl.

Just Nuisance

15 min

We will visit Just Nuisance's memorial statue, a Great Dane, was the only dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. He died at the age of seven years and was buried with full military honours.

Simon's Town

40 min

Simon’s Town is a charming old-world maritime village sitting on a steep slope right on the water’s edge. We will stop and explore Jubilee Square in the center of the town.

Jubilee Square & Jetty, Simon's Town

30 min

Jubilee Square is right in the middle of Simons Town. We stop here and look out over the jetty, harbour, and False Bay. We will also meet Just Nuisance here.

15 min

We stop and see how a shark spotter spends his day. Shark Spotters is a non-profit and public benefit organisation providing a vital public service. It has attracted international attention through the novel way it proactively reduces conflict between surfers and white sharks.

10 min

As we leave Chapmans Peak Drive will stop at the water's edge in Hout Bay to enjoy one of Cape Town’s most beloved sculptures, the bronze leopard of Hout Bay. This beautiful artwork should be on everyone's Cape Town bucket list.
