The Cape of Good Hope day tour will take you through the Atlantics seaboard which is located on the coast. Located at the south-western tip of Africa, in the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park, Cape Point has captivated travelers for centuries with its dramatic scenery and fascinating history. The rugged coastline, sandy beaches, valleys, and mountains are a haven for hikers, surfers, anglers, and cyclists. For those who enjoy life at a more relaxed pace, the Flying Dutchman Funicular transports visitors up to a steep slope to the top lighthouse and the Two Oceans Restaurant is a great spot for light meals or their signature seafood platter. Located at Cape Point, the Flying Dutchman funicular is a cable-railway believed to be the only commercial funicular of its type in Africa. It is named after the local legend of the Flying Dutchman ghost ship which is still said to be haunting the waters around Cape Point. The Flying Dutchman Funicular saves.
Simon’s Town and Muizenberg
The Cape Point and Cape Peninsula day tour departs from your city-based hotel and travels towards the Colorful most spectacular houses of Muzinburg, surrounded by beautiful mountains here we will stop for 20 minutes, you will have a photo opportunity in the iconic multi-colored houses which are nice for an Instagram post and take a look around, obviously, get a brief history behind the rainbow houses. After we are done we head to Simons Town which is situated on the False Bay Coast of the Cape Peninsula. Here you’ll embark on a sea kayaking adventure from the Simons Town waterfront. Paddle past the quaint civilian harbor as well as the historic Naval Habour and continue on to Boulders Beach – which is home to a large colony of protected African Penguins. After visiting the penguins, we’ll stop at a lovely semi-private beach (if time and tide permitting) for refreshments, swimming, and snorkeling (equipment provided). A lunch stop (to your own account) will be discussed with your tour guide before continuing on to your next stop.
Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve
After a lunch stop, travel to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve – one of two world-renowned landmarks within the Table Mountain National Park. The Cape of Good Hope functioned as something of a beacon for early sailors rounding the Cape and is still widely referred to as The Cape by seafarers. Most visitors to Cape Town regard a trip to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point (the tip of the Peninsula) is obligatory. The park is home to an array of natural South African fynbos as well as over 250 different species of birds, buck, baboons, and Cape Mountain Zebra. There are numerous paths on which one can set off on foot, and tidal pools on almost isolated beaches. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Cape Point Lighthouse and venture out to the most South-Western point of the African Continent.
Chapman’s Peak Drive
A scenic drive along the coast, the most appealing viewpoint for spectacular photos, Chapman’s Peak drive. It is a little wonder of the most Scenic route in the world, we will stop here for a little of 20 minutes to take pictures and take a breath of the fresh ocean breeze.
Bantry Bay and Camps Bay
We take a scenic drive along the Atlantic Seaboard with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other, passing through Clifton, Camps Bay, Llandudno, and Hout Bay. We stop at Maiden’s Cove for a photo opportunity with magnificent views of the Twelve Apostles as a backdrop. This cove is one of the best places in Cape Town to take panoramic photos of the Ocean, Camps Bay Beach combined with the views of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, and the beautiful suburbs of Clifton, Camps Bay, etc… We call this the Kodak moment. This is our last stop for the day after we head back to Cape Town where you will be dropped off at your accommodation where you were picked at.
