Itinerary
A Stop here at Bo-Kaap of approximately 20 minutes and quick walk with your personal guide driver to discover these beautiful colourful houses and the history behind them and the area.
This is what we call the Kodak moment of the tour, prepare your cameras for the most beautiful photos of your Cape Town memories, with a panoramic view of Lion's head, Table Mountain, Camps Bay Beach, Clifton and the Twelve Apostles Mountains range. Dolphins, Whales and Seals can be spotted here. The stop at this beautiful Cove will leave you breathless.
No Cape of Good Hope or Cape Point also known as Cape Peninsula Private Tour will be considered complete without a Stop at this fishing harbour . The best fish and chips can be purchased here for a sit down or take away. Here you will find one of the biggest souvenir and gift market where you can bargain for the price of any item. But the main attraction is the boat trip to the Seal Island Colony where you will see thousands of Cape Fur Seals. We do not recommend to take the boat trip when the Sea condition is bumpy unless you can handle the sea sickness.
This is one of the most beautiful scenic route in the World. We will stop here for photos opportunity. A quick guided walk will be allowed for approximately 5 minutes. Please stay in the safe walking demarcated areas
A trip to the Cape of Good Hope for Wine Lovers will not be considered complete if you skip a stop at Cape Point Vineyard. Some of the best white cultivars in South Africa such as sauvignon blanc, shardonay and other varieties are crafted right here. The views of the mountains and Ocean are spectacular . We highly recommend a quick stop here for wine tasting. This is an optional Stop and Cost for wine tasting is ZAR 50 per adult and can taste up to 6 different wines.
Our next Stop will be in the Town of Simon's Town, which is the base of South African Navy Forces, and home to a Great Dane, which made history in this beautiful village . Just Nuisance was the only dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy. He was a Great Dane who between 1939 and 1944 served at HMS Afrikander, a Royal Navy shore establishment in Simon's Town, South Africa. He died in 1944 at the age of seven years and was buried with full military honours. You could also go for lunch in the area with options ranging from Take Aways and sit down restaurants, alternatively, lunch could be taken either at Boulders Beach, Black Marlin(Sea Food) or at the Cape of Good Hope.
Our Next stop is at the famous Boulders Beach home to some 2500 pairs of endagered African penguins. On this Tour, weather permitting, Guests are allowed to go swim with the penguins at own entrance fees account (ZAR 120 per adult) and we recommend that you bring a swimwear and towels should you wish to stop for a swim. Boulders Beach which is next to Simon’s Town has a lot going for it: the ancient granite boulders protect it from the wind and large waves, unlike any other beach in Cape Town making it an ideal swimming spot for kids, moms and toddlers. The city of Cape Town is always keep the beach very clean and safe, as this along the Cape of Good Hope are part of Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. The beach itself is not always very busy or over crowded , and children find it easy to swim in the beautiful rockpools. But the soft white sand and warm(ish) waters are not the only reasons why thousands of visitors a year make their way along the coast, past Simon’s Town, to Boulders Beach. The local inhabitants in their beautiful black and white colours, the African penguins bring the masses to visit Boulders Beach one of the biggest Penguin colony in South Africa.
This is the highlight of the tour as we are now entering a national park for some spectacular sightseeing.The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa. This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. This is the meeting place of the two currents , the cold Benguela and the warm Agulhas. Prepare those Cameras for the souvenir photos behind the famous wooden board of Cape of Good Hope. An optional hike of up to 40 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope to the lighthouse will be allowed. Your guide will escort you half way to show you the safest way and he/she will drive around to meet you on the other side.The lighthouse can be accesible by way of using the Dutchman Funicular at own cost of ZAR 80 per adult and ZAR 40 per child for a return trip. Alternatively a hike up from the lower station of the historic lighthouse to the upper station is approximately 20 minutes.
