About this activity

There is so much beauty on the Cape Peninsula and any visit to Cape Town should include a day exploring the beautiful coastline. We are Cape Town locals with a love for the natural environment and we try to incorporate this element on our tours! If you want to include a hike instead of spending any time at other sites such as Kalk Bay and Simon's Town then please book our other tour "Cape Point Nature Tour & Hike (Private)"

We are locals who have grown up on the Cape Peninsula
We are flexible on the day and can adjust the tour to your interests
You will get to a couple quieter corners, albeit still experiencing the top Cape Peninsula highlights
Our knowledge of the natural environment adds huge value to your experience

Itinerary

Kalk Bay Harbour

Passing by

Depending on weather and time of year we may simply drive through Kalk Bay without stopping, or sometimes stop in at a cafe for a morning coffee or grab a takeaway Fish & Chips for lunch at the harbour.
Jubilee Square & Jetty, Simon's Town

Passing by

We drive through Simon's Town in order to visit Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, although some days we may visit Jubilee Square and the Just Nuisance statue on days when we have lunch at a Simon's Town restaurant.
Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

one hour Admission not included

We visit the main Boulders Beach Penguin Colony viewing decks within the Table Mountain National Park which a few thousand African Penguins call home. A walk along Willis Walk to the main swimming beach is something you'll do and in summer a swim here is wonderful!
Cape Point

one hour Admission not included

We drive into the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park en route to Cape Point where the lighthouses are located. We'll walk up to the view sites and then possibly down the Lighthouse Keepers' Trail to get a different angle if you're up for a walk.

If we don't walk to the lighthouses we can walk out over Diaz Beach and then we'll let you continue towards the Cape of Good Hope (45min) at the same time that we drive around to pick you up at the end point.
Cape of Good Hope

2 hours Admission not included

Although we'll touch on the Cape of Good Hope 'proper' while in the Cape Point vicinity we'll be driving to a few different sites within the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park. We'll look out for larger wildlife here such as Bontebok, Eland, Chacma Baboons and Ostriches among others.
Chapman's Peak Drive

30 min Admission included

This road is a classic! We'll usually cruise over Chapman's Peak Drive on the way back to Cape Town after a day on the Cape Peninsula where the views over Noordhoek Beach and Hout Bay are stunning!
