Cape Town Tours - Save 10%
Follow the coastline along Chapmans Peak to the Nature Reserve at Cape Point. Also see the penguins at Boulder's Beach and visit the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
Depart the hotel and flank the colder Atlantic ocean en route to Hout Bay. Once a fishing community (now one of the most popular residential areas) the harbour still has a charm of days gone by. A chance to join the M.V "Circe" for a half hour cruise to Seal Island or for the not so adventurous, the fish market "Mariners Wharf" is a must.
The tour now continues over the famous Chapman's Peak drive (if open) with a 200 meter drop on one side of the vehicle and a 200 meter rise on the other side, as we make our way south, following the Atlantic Ocean until we reach Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope. Said to be the romantic meeting place of the two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian, Sir Francis Drake the Explorer once called it "the fairest Cape that we saw in the whole circumference of the Globe". And rightly so, it must be the highlight of any visit to the Mother City, if not South Africa. An optional lunch stop en route (to own account). We pass the naval base of Simonstown as we continue along the Indian Ocean, en route to see the Jackass penguin colony which has become well established at Boulders beach near Simonstown.
Our last stop of the day is at the Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, home of some 3 500 species of Southern African fauna and flora. We return to the hotel at about 17h30, having seen the best the Cape has to offer.
