After we have picked you up, your guide will give you a brief description of how the day will be like. Here, you can discuss with your guide and make some changes, if necessary, in order to make your tour more personalized.

On this tour, we start by taking you to the one and only Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden. This garden lives up to its reputation as the most beautiful garden in Africa and one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. This World Heritage Site is home to over 22,000 different plant species offering visitors the chance to see some of the rarest and most beautiful flowers in the world. One of wonderful places to visit while in the mother City. Spend some time to smell roses.

From the Botanical Garden, we will head to Muizenberg. This is a beach-side suburb of cape Town known as surfers’ corner. It is situated where the shore of the Cape Peninsula curves round to the east on the False Bay coast. It is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa Muizenberg is recognised for its long wide expanse of sandy beach with kid-friendly waves, colourful huts that are used as changing rooms and has the added bonus of warmer water for bathers, another opportunity for your camera to be active. Because it has a sand bottom and gentle rolling waves, perfect for beginner surfers, it is one of the reasons why it is a perfect place to learn to surf. Behind Muizenberg beach are added extras like miniature putt-putt and the super-tube (waterslide). Who knows, you may encounter the Humpback Brydes Whales (January-May) or the majestic Southern Right Whale here during (June - December).

As we head our way towards the Colony of African Penguins, we will pass through the town of Simon's Town, a small town compressed between mountains and the sea 35km outside Cape Town but, full of rich history. Your guide will give a brief history of the town and we tell you stories of many interesting things that you will be seeing, such as the Just Nuisance. Simon’s Town is named after Simon van der Stel, the Dutch governor of the Cape Colony in the late 17th century. The town was established as a naval base by the British in the early 19th century and has been an important part of South Africa’s naval history ever since. The town’s historical significance is evident in its many well-preserved buildings and landmarks, including the Simon’s Town Museum and the South African Naval Museum.

The unique and endangered land - based colony of African Penguins have made this place as their home. This is where you will have the time to see the Penguins at the closest range and play, if you can, with these beautiful creatures. This colony is one of only a few in the world.

After an amazing day full of enjoyment, we will drop you off back to your hotel and call it a day.
