Full description

Discover the south-western tip of the Cape Peninsula and marvel at some of the most spectacular views in the world. The drive from Cape Town passes steep mountains, secluded coves, and sweeping stretches of beach. Your full-day tour begins with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburbs of Sea Point and Camps Bay, where you’ll have spectacular views of the Table Mountain range. Continue to the fishing village of Hout Bay, one of Cape Town's best-kept secrets. Enjoy an optional short boat trip to Duiker Island, time permitting, to see the Cape fur seals that inhabit the island. Next is the Cape Point Nature Reserve, covering an area of more than 17,300 acres. The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including baboons, rhebok, Cape mountain zebra, bontebok, and the elusive eland. It is also one of the world's largest breeding grounds for tortoises. You’ll see the spot where, as per legend, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet and feel the brisk wind that is said to have curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, you'll return to Cape Town by way of Simon's Town, with a stop to visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

Before your return, stop for afternoon tea and cake. Then, return to Cape Town, passing the University of Cape Town and the Groote Schuur Hospital.

Great value for money. Picked me up at my private place; excellent and lovely guide (Elane), only 7 people in the group (one person didn't show up), almost no waiting anywhere (very lucky as going out of Cape Point Natural Park there was already a huge line). You have enough time (but not too long) to see the things mentioned in the description (Cape Point Sign; Lighthouse, Boulders Beach) even on your own. However, the restaurant at Simon's town was ok, but not cheap or something special.

Der Eintritt für den Boulders Beach ist leider nicht inkludiert. Ein großer minuspunkt da die tour für südafrikanische verhältnisse relativ teuer ist. Robbeninsel wurde leider nicht besucht da Brian meinte für das haben wir keine zeit aber bezahlt haben wir dafür... Eine stunde lànger die tour mit stop in kalk bay wäre toll.

Burkhardt unser Guide, gebürtiger Schweizer war ein Knaller, wir hatten mega viel Spaß mit ihm. Es gab viel nützliche und unterhaltsame Infos zu Land und Leuten! Das Wetter hat auch mitgespielt. Wer nicht ganz fusslahm ist, schafft den Berg zum Leuchtturm am Cape point in max. 15 Minuten. Ruhig in jede Niesche gucken. Bei starkem Wind besser Sonnenbrillen und Mützen abnehmen. Die Paviane sind echt hinterlistig, niemals draußen offen essen, sie klauen alles weg!!!
