Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour

About this activity

Discover the Cape Peninsula on a small-group tour designed to combine Cape Town’s spectacular coastal scenery, wildlife and iconic landmarks in one full day. Travel along the Atlantic Seaboard and Chapman’s Peak Drive before exploring the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, with time to visit the African penguins at Boulders Beach.

The small-group format offers a more personal experience than a large coach tour, with a knowledgeable local guide, carefully planned stops and opportunities for photographs along the way. An optional boat trip from Hout Bay to see the Cape fur seal colony may be available, subject to weather and operating conditions.

From dramatic mountain and ocean views to the penguins of Simon’s Town, the experience brings together some of the Cape Peninsula’s most memorable highlights in a single day.
