Tour overview

Swap Cape Town’s city streets for a day among the Cape Peninsula’s dramatic coastline, mountain passes and ocean views. On this guided Cape Point and penguin tour, travel in an air-conditioned double-decker coach while your English-speaking local guide shares the stories behind the places along the way.

The scenic drive via Ou Kaapse Weg, Kommetjie and Scarborough leads to Cape Point Nature Reserve. You’ll have more than two hours to explore Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope: take the optional guided hike between the headlands, discover the area at your own pace, or simply pause to take in the sweeping views. There’s time to buy lunch at Cape Point. The Flying Dutchman funicular is available at an extra cost.

Then follow the coast via Miller’s Point to Boulders Beach near Simon’s Town. Spend about an hour watching the African penguins in their coastal habitat—a memorable final stop before returning to Cape Town.

The tour includes complimentary pickup from designated stops near selected hotels. Choose the Cape Point park entry-included ticket if you want that fee covered; Boulders Beach admission, lunch and the funicular are extra. Choose your ticket option and book your Cape Peninsula day out.

The Cape Point Park fee is only included on the more higher priced option.
