Private/Customised Cape Peninsula and Penguin Colony Tour
Description
Experience the scenic tour of one of the most beautiful places in the world if not the most beautiful with a born and bred Capetonian. From the iconic Table Mountain, to the spectacular views of Cape of Good Hope, to the cute wild life of Boulders Beach, to more spectacular views at Chapmans Peak you will be stunned at the incredible beauty that the mother city offers. Do this all in the comfort and luxury of an Audi A5 Sportsback 2022 model for an intimate and exclusive private tour that is customised to your personal preferences. I have included the main stops of the tour in the itinerary but we don’t have to visit all of them and there are other great stops that can be included like Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, and Camps Bay. This tour is for the adventure seekers who want to experience the beauty of Cape Town in an intimate, personalised setting instead of boring, inflexible groups!

Boulders Beach in Simons Town is where the penguin colony resides and it’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cape Town. Every year thousands of tourists come to see these charismatic little sea creatures in their natural habitat. There is something about these cute animals that leaves you with a sense of awe and wonder when you leave the place. Entrance fee: Adults - $10 Kids - $5
The Cape of Good Hope is the most southern point of the Cape Peninsula with breathtaking views and scenery. When you arrive you can take the tram to the lighthouse at the front or you can do a short hike there. Once you get there you can do another short hike further to the front for some more stunning views. For those who want to do a longer hike there is another trail past a beautiful beach. Finally, there is a restaurant and a shop for refreshments and souvenirs. Entrance fee: Adults(12+) - $22 Kids(2-11) - $11
Eat lunch at one of the great restaurants in Kalk Bay and walk around in this popular beach town to experience authentic South African culture.
Chapmans Peak is a drive between Noordhoek and Hout Bay with more stunning views and a lookout point where you can stop, get out of the car, take some photos, and just enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Entrance fee - $3

Ruan is a great guide. He understands his tourists and their needs - which makes his tours feel quite special. He also knows a great deal about wine and is able to keep his tourists engaged. We booked our cape peninsula tour as our first introduction to South Africa and fell in love. Would 100% repeat it again. It was a great introduction to our honeymoon. Thanks Ruan!
Thank you Rena I appreciate you choosing me as your guide on your honeymoon it was a privilege and I had an awesome time!
Ruan was a fantastic tour guide for our trip to Cape Peninsula and Penguin Colony tour. He was punctual in picking up in the morning. The tours were fantastic/fun and he was able to point out great photo ops. I highly recommend Ryan’s personalized tours.
Thank you Paul you’re the best!
We had a great day with Ruan. We started at Boulders Beach near the penguins and then drove on to the Cape of Good Hope. Afterwards we went to Kalk Bay for a great meal and met some sea lions. Ruan designed the day completely according to our wishes.
Hi Ru We joined a private tour in Cape Town yesterday. At the meeting point, Mr. Ru was searching for us in the crowd, which we truly appreciated. Fortunately, he had sent us a photo of the vehicle in advance, so we were able to spot it and wait nearby until he returned. Due to a delay in our cruise ship’s arrival, two other guests had missed their original tour and joined ours, making a group of four. Mr. Ru kindly adjusted the itinerary to include Table Mountain and even helped us with wine purchases. His flexibility and thoughtful support made the experience truly special. All participants agreed the tour exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful time. Mr. Ruーan Z — ARIGATOU! your Japanese friend N Yasui
Hello Ya, thank you for this amazing review! It was an honour to do my first tour with guests from the great country of Japan and it was a pleasure to meet you. Arigatou my friend 🙏🏻
Ruan was an incredible tour guide and driver for my trip throughout the Cape Peninsula with my husband. He was very friendly and provided us with a lot of knowledge about each place we stopped at. Additionally, the customized tour to our time frame was a great personal touch. I would recommended booking Ruan to anybody looking for an amazing journey in Capetown.
Hello Emily thank you so much you were incredible tour guests who made everything easy and smooth 🙏🏻
Truly wonderful experience. Ru-an is super friendly and completely customises the tour to your needs, and the same time makes recommendations. He is very informative and took me to some remarkable, breathtaking places. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of.
Thank you for the kind words George I enjoyed your company and had a great time! 🙏🏻
Our tour guide was fantastic! He showed us the best of Cape Town, Kalk Bay, Boulders Beach, and Cape Point, sharing great stories and local insights along the way. We loved exploring the charming streets of Kalk Bay, spending time with the penguins at Boulders Beach, and taking in the breathtaking views at Cape Point. Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area—he made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Maduka you are the best!
We had an incredible day exploring Boulders Beach, Cape Point, an ostrich farm, Kalk Bay, and Chapman’s Peak with Ruan. The tour was perfectly tailored to us, and Ruan was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Ruan originally is from the area of Stellenbosch and hence is very experienced with activities and things to do there. He picked us up in a nice car and drove us back home and we felt safe at all times! The penguins at Boulders Beach were adorable, Cape Point’s views were stunning, and the ostrich farm was very interesting as we had never seen anything like it (was also quite the spontaneous idea). Delicious cheese cake in Kalk Bay and a scenic drive up Chapman’s Peak were the perfect end to a great day. Highly recommend Ruan for an unforgettable and tailored Cape Town experience!
Thank you Hannah for such an awesome review! You were the best guests ever 😀
We first met Ruan after he picked us up on an Uber right from the waterfront. He helpfully informed us he offered private tours. After looking at his social media he very quickly booked our tour to cape peninsular for the next day. The overall experience was great. He was very knowledgable and passionate and Cape Town and showed us some amazing sights and attractions. The trip was very enjoyable and would highly recommend for private tours.
Thank you Sukh you’re a legend. I had a great time showing you the natural beauty of Cape Town and I hope to see you again!
We had a wonderful private trip around Capetown and were able to make requests on where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience a taste of Capetown.
🙏
