Muizenburg is also a suitable beach to learn to surf as the waves are known for their consistency rather than their size. The sleepy town of Muizenburg is still lined with the mansions of its Victorian glory days past and the beach has good facilities, a visitor centre, shops, restaurants and adventure and surf activity operators.

Cape Peninsula Tour

Our South Africa Peninsula Tour was nothing short of incredible. The itinerary was perfectly planned, offering a seamless blend of breathtaking views, exciting stops, and great local experiences. We kicked off the day at Hout Bay and took the stunning Chapman's Peak Drive — a truly unforgettable way to start the morning. Fayical was absolutely amazing. Not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he also ensured we stayed on schedule while never making us feel rushed. He even suggested excellent local spots for lunch, which turned out to be some of the best meals we had on our trip. Towards the end of the day, we ran into unexpected traffic due to the Tokai fires. Despite the delay, Fayical remained calm and went above and beyond to keep us comfortable. He even made a spontaneous stop at Muizenberg Beach, which turned out to be a lovely and relaxing end to the tour. Highly recommend this tour — it was well-organized, full of memorable moments, and made even better by a fantastic guide who truly cared about our experience.

Once in a lifetime

We recently took this tour and our guide was Said. Said was extremely informative as we drove through all the stop off points and we learned so much about Cape Town from him. He took us to lots of fantastic spots and advised on where the best places were to eat along the way. He even queued up for us at the Cape of Good Hope while we were exploring elsewhere to make sure got a timely photo. He was extremely patient as we explored all that was to be seen and it was lovely speaking to him and learning about his life and family in Cape Town. Thank you for a fantastic tour. Will & Ashleigh

Thank you Chris for a great day tour

Thank you to Chris for an incredible peninsula day tour. I would recommend it to anyone who would prefer a leisurely and bespoke experience. We started our time at 9 am, a direct pick-up from the hotel and spent the day at our leisure. Our tour guide Chris was personable, professional and very knowledgable. He balanced the right amount of information to provide on the day, and what made it so great was that he could join in with landscape photography. I've thoroughly enjoyed a tailored and personalised experience, the tour itself did not cover the entry fees, but I recommend local and international visitors apply for an annual SAN Parks wildcard, especially when you plan to return on more than one occasion. Thank you so much for a memorable experience.

Excellent overview of the Cape Peninsula with an outstanding tour guide

We were extremely happy with our Cape Peninsula tour. Our guide, Chris, was friendly and informative. He was happy to abbreviate or skip stops that we were interested in and spend more time at the spots we were. Chris took us into the locals part of Boulders Beach instead of just walking us around the penguin sanctuary and I really appreciated that. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to someone looking for an easy introduction to the Cape Peninsula and the opportunity to grab some great photographs.
