Detailed itinerary

1
Stop 1

A suburb in Cape Town rich in history and tradition, dating back to the 1700's. It stands as a pillar of the diversity of not only Cape Town but the whole republic, with its Cape Malay culture, religion and heritage. Also typical of this place are the beautiful coloured houses seen here that are mostly unlike no other the world over.

2
Stop 2 Pass by

Hoerikwagga. This is how we refer to Table Mountain on this tour. This is the name it is known by in the Khoisan language, meaning simply, 'mountain in the sea.' It is an optional encounter, the first of a few. We do however still get to drive past the mountain and another called Lion's Head.

3
Stop 3

Arguably Cape Town's most beautiful beach and suburb, a rare combination but certainly bearing both these truths. Camps Bay is a spot we get to behold from a higher altitude as we descend from the slopes of the previously mentioned mountains, and indeed having the beach as an optional encounter.

4

Another optional segment of the tour is found here, in a place called Hout Bay. This entails a 45 minute boat cruise to and from the island itself, where over 60 000 seals await you, consisting of the Cape Fur Seal and Brown Fur Seal as well as a diverse species of birds.

5
Stop 5

There are not many words to adequately express the beauty of this drive. 'Mesmerizing' goes a long way in making its case as the ideal adjective yet I think there are more that we cannot presently fathom. Will you help us with a draft of these when you do come along? We will have 2 picturesque stops here, where pictures taken here will create lasting, lifelong memories of the Cape Peninsula Tour.

6

A quaint little beach town set on the shores of the Atlantic, with a beach that offers great views and sights. The combination of the blue waters and white sands is like no other beach around. Stops here are optional and do not last longer than 10 minutes.

7
Stop 7

This will be our first stop within the Cape Point nature reserve, and it also happens to be the most south-western point of the African continent. Pictures taken here tell the ultimate story of the Cape Town traveler. There's no reason why your story should not be next- with us.

8

The Cape Point is our second segment within the nature reserve. Here you get to encounter the Cape Point lighthouse, standing 238m above sea level, not to worry though as you at this point also stand over 100m above sea level. Getting to the lighthouse is most recommended on this tour, and there are 2 ways to get there. Either a 15-minute light hike up to the summit or a ride upon a little tram known as the Flying Dutchman or just the Funicular, as we then meet back at the parking bays in the time stipulated by your guide. It will be lunch after this activity.

9
Stop 9

Right after lunch, we go on a tour to discover the African Penguin in its calm setting at Boulders Beach. Meet them in their many hundreds as your guide advises you on their history and how they came to be in this setting, as well as their daily life activities. Many pictures and videos to be taken here. Come along then and shall we?

10

One of the outstanding beach-towns in Cape Town is Muizenberg. It also offers sights of great history on the development of Cape Town from the days it was simply known as the Cape Colony with the Eastern Cape into the early South African union days of the 1910's to modern day, this is simply a tour you want to do with us...
