This is a beautiful experience not to be missed when the ocean is calm. You will spend approximately an hour here to explore the seals and birds on the rocks soaking up the sun, also a market where you could bargain for gifts and souvenirs.

At the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve, you will have the option to either take a short hike to Cape Point lighthouse or take the Funicular up to witness the meeting of the cold current from the Atlantic ocean and the warm current from the Indian ocean.

It was a miserable weather day--wind so strong trees were coming down and rain often blowing sideways. But our driver/guide, Armando, made our trip fun and great nevertheless. He was very knowledgeable, funny and accommodating and did his best to minimize our time walking to the vehicle in poor weather. Seeing the penguins, even in the worst weather, made it all worthwhile.
Our driver Patrick was perfect for the job; he arrived promptly and was extremely welcoming from the first contact; he was very enthusiastic and made the tour memorable for me and my wife. The pace of the tour is perfect I would describe it as chilled, yet efficient. The places we visited were all top quality and the time spent at locations were exactly the right amount of time needed. I would highly advise to anyone who wishes to witness Cape Town’s beauty to go through this company. Our guide, Patrick delivered us a most memorable day and was extremely professional through the entire tour.
We had the most fantastic day. The coast and the views were amazing. Such a beautiful area. Our driver and guide, Patrick, was brilliant and the company were so helpful in sorting out our booking.
Our guide Gabriel drove us great and showed everything and explained a lot. Since we were there with the cruise ship and had no ZAR it was pleasant that Gabriel advanced the entrance fees for all and you could pay at the end of the tour with a card with him.
We had a great day with Guyon. He was super knowledgeable and very organized. He helped us skip queues and get the most out of our experience. Would 10/10 recommend this tour!!
Definitely recommended! We were a small group of 5 so that was great. Our driver/guide Lucadel arranged all tickets/spots in advance so we didn’t have to queue anywhere. Lunch was lovely (own expense), all was on time, as planned, and pleasant. Incredible value for money, too.
After choosing the pick-up destination offered of the Cruise Terminal, I was asked to go a hotel 15 minutes away. After complaint, pick-up was on the street entrance to the terminal and half-hour late. Then, I was given no choice regarding the penguin visit at extra cost, when meanwhile I could have walked around historic Simon Town for free.
A wonderful day! Well done. Our guide Guyon was at the top. Very kind, helpful and passionate. The activities are worth a visit. I recommend! 😀
The tour was well planned. Our guide was Keren Nimi and she was just amazing. Very engaging, well versed in history and took us through point by point with excellence. She certainly is an expert at it.
The guide/driver, Guyon was very knowledgeable and take time to explan the culture and history of the Cape. We were lucky to see wild ostrich and baboons.
