Full day Private: only your group The Cape Peninsula, from Cape Town

Follow the coast. Forget the clock.

Ocean roads, dramatic cliffs and plenty of reasons to stop for a photo. Discover the Cape Peninsula with a guide who knows the route, and the stories behind it.

A scenic full day around the Cape Peninsula with your own guide and vehicle. From your accommodation the road follows the Atlantic past Maiden’s Cove and Camps Bay, climbs onto Chapman’s Peak Drive, and stops in Ocean View, a historic fishing community, and at the Cape Point Ostrich Farm.

At the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point you can hike up to the lighthouse or ride the funicular. Coming home along False Bay you meet the African penguins at Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town and pass the colourful bathing huts of Muizenberg.
