Detailed itinerary

1

Pick up at your accommodation in Cape Town within a 8km radius will be between 7:00 and 8:00am. Your exact pick up time will be sent to you the day before the tour.

After pick up at your hotel in Cape Town we will enjoy a brief city orientation tour and take a drive through the city centre where you tour guide will indicate the historical monuments and museums to gain a better understanding of the rest of the tour.

2

We stop in the Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Cape Malay Quarter, so that visitors can take a memorable photo with the colourful houses as a backdrop. Your tour guide will share interesting stories about these historical homes and the heritage of the locals who live there. Many of these locals' families originated from Indonesia and Malaysia.

3

We stop at Table Mountain where we will explore one of the new seven wonders of the Nature. Arriving at the Cable car station we will take the cable car to the top of the mountain. In case of weather adverse, we will skip Table Mountain and leave it for the last stop of the day.

Your tour guide driver will escort you to the top of the mountain to give you a guided tour. Please take note that this attraction is weather permitting.

Please note that Table Mountain cable car tickets are not included in our tour price. We recommend clients to purchase their own Table Mountain tickets online to prevent delays at the entrance. In this way, you will skip the ticketing queue, but there is still a queue during busy periods to board the cable car to ascend and descend the mountain.

4

From Table Mountain we take a drive along the Atlantic seaboard on a coastal drive between mountains and oceans, passing through Bantry Bay, Clifton and Camp's Bay. We will stop at Maiden's Cove for a photo opportunity. This is one of the most scenic photos you will capture on this tour. With views of the Twelve Apostles mountain ranges on one side and the white sand and blue ocean of the pristine Camp's Bay Beach on the other side, this backdrop is certain to make your Instagram caption of the day.

5
Stop 5

Chapman's Peak drive is one of the most scenic tour routes in the world. We stop at the Chapman's Peak viewpoint where travellers will be "wowed" by the spectacular view of mountain ranges and endless stretches of ocean as waves break against rocks and white sandy shorelines.

6
Stop 6

Boulder's Beach is known as one of the best beaches in Cape Town. Warm waters from the False Bay Area makes this ideal for swimming and sun bathing. The highlight of Boulder's Beach is of course the enchanting African penguins colony. Visit these cute penguins in their natural habitat and meet some of them along the boardwalk.

7
Stop 7

We enter into the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve main gate to experience the highlight of the day. A visit to Cape Town is certainly not complete without a photo behind the Cape of Good Hope name board. Your tour guide will share interesting stories about the two Beacons known as the Bartolomeu Dias beacon and the Vasco Da Game beacon.

8

Most travellers take the option of a short hike from the Cape of Good Hope to the Cape Point lighthouse. However, should you not feel up to the short hike or medically unfit, your tour guide will guide you to the Flying Dutchman Funicular in which you will travel up to the Cape Point lighthouse. (Fee excluded from tour price.) The Cape Point is the official meeting point of the Two Ocean currents: the Cold Benguela and the Warm Agulhas currents.

Optional Lunch can be enjoy at either the Two Oceans Restaurant at Cape Point or you can enjoy a takeaway from their deli.

9

Our final stop for the day will be St James Beach where visitors can view the colourful beach huts and take a few photos. These huts are used for changing rooms by sun bathers and your tour guide will share the history of the beach huts with you.

10

We return to Cape Town for drop off at your accommodation at the end of the tour. Drop off will be between 17:00 and 18:00pm.
