Itinerary

  • Cape Town Central

    Soon after pick up we will drive along the M5 and connect with the M4 via Muizenberg, St. James and Fish Hoek beaches located along the scenic False Bay coastline on our way to Boulder's Beach Penguins Colony.

    45 minutes

  • Muizenberg Beach (Pass By)

    Passing through Muizenberg beach we will see the stretch of attractive colourful beach huts in the distance. The beach huts resemble the “bathing machines” of the 1800’s—a cart-like structure that was wheeled down to the water’s edge, allowing the ladies to change into their chin-to-ankle bathing wear and frolic in the shallow waters. The beach huts are subsequently used as change rooms for sunbathers and keen surfers alike.

  • St James Beach

    Much like their counterparts, the Beach huts that can be seen here at St. James Beach are also used by sunbathers as change rooms. Your tour guide will stop here for a few minutes to allow for some fun-filled photos with these colourful beach huts before we proceed to Boulder's Beach Penguins colony.

    15 minutes

  • Kalk Bay Harbour (Pass By)

    We drive past Kalk Bay Harbour which is more like a fishing village, with the fishing boats docking and the fish traders praising their catch. Fresh fish are available for puchase here on a daily basis. The sights, smells and refreshing sea air are nothing less than spectacular.

  • Fish Hoek Beach (Pass By)

    We pass through Fish Hoek beach. It is possible to feel the warm Indian ocean waters which flow into the False Bay area making Fish Hoek a preferred beach for swimming and sunbathing on long stretches of warm white sand.

  • Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

    We stop at Boulder's Beach to visit the African Penguins colony. Boulder's Beach is one of the best beaches in Cape Town particularly for swimming and sunbathing. It is possible to have close encounters with the African penguins whilst swimming and sunbathing at Boulder's Beach but it is not guaranteed. Therefore, we will take a walk along the boardwalk to the official penguins colony location to see the penguins in their natural habitat. Boulder's penguins colony is home to approximately 3000 African Penguins who spend their days frolicking in the False Bay waters, basking in the sun and parading on the granite Boulders.

    1 hour

  • Cape of Good Hope

    After our encounter with the charming African Penguins, we proceed to what is surely the highlight of the day: The Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point Nature Reserve. It is believed that no visit to Cape Town is complete without a photo behind the Cape of Good Hope name board. We will explore the nature reserve whilst the tour guide shares historical stories about the Bartholomew Dias and Vasco Da Gama beacons. The Cape of Good Hope is home to many a fauna and flora such as fynbos (fine bush), over 250 species of birds including ostriches, buck, baboons and the Cape mountain zebra. We advise our guests to please be vigilant and not get too close the the wild animals in the reserve as they can become violent. No close contact or feeding is allowed.

    1 hour

  • Old Cape Point Lighthouse

    After exploring the Cape of Good Hope we will drive to the Cape Point where visitors are free to take a short hike up to the Cape Point lighthouse or take the option of the Flying Dutchman Funicular (additional charge at own account). Many believe that the Cape Point is the meeting point of the Two Oceans. However, Cape Point is infact the official meeting point of the Two Ocean Currents: the Cold Benguela and the Warm Agulhas ocean currents. The Cape Point lighthouse is the most powerful on the South African coast.

    1 hour

  • Chapman's Peak Drive

    Providing that it is operational, we will take a drive through Chapmans Peak Drive, which is one of the most scenic routes in the world. We will stop for a few minutes at the viewpoint to take some photos.

    20 minutes

  • Cape Town Central

    Upon our arrival back in Cape Town visitors will be dropped off at the same pick up point where they were collected in the morning.

    40 minutes

.Great tour - highly recommend it.

Published on Mar, 2025

.it was a fantastic tour. Our driver was very interesting, full of great stories and facts. And patient. Gave good recommendations for places to eat in Camps Bay. Would certainly recommend this tour.

Beautiful ocean views

Published on Mar, 2025

This is an ideal tour to get wonderful ocean views at key spots along the coastline. Our guide was solicitous of our needs and wanting to make sure we got the best possible experience. He knew some tips and tricks about the best parking spots and ways to avoid longer queue lines for park entrances. My spouse and he had some very lively discussions during our car rides. We talked about our initial Cape Town impressions and his own experiences as a native of South Africa.

Enjoyable and informative exploration of the coast

Published on Feb, 2025

This tour was one of our highlights from a recent trip to Capetown. The guide and driver provided an enjoyable and informative experience. We did not have much time scheduled in Capetown so this tour was a great way to explore the coastline and marvel at the Boulder Beach Penguin Colony. Many thanks!
