The last stop before you are taken back to your hotel is a panoramic view of False Bay. Your Cape Peninsula tour starts with a pick up from your city hotel or lodging. Drive around the beautiful Atlantic coastline, past the world-famous Clifton and Camps Bay beaches, through Bakoven, Llandudno and on to Hout Bay Harbor, where you have your first 15-minute stop.
Continue along the world-renowned magnificent Chapman’s Peak Drive towards Kommetjie, a great surf spot, the Slangkop Lighthouse, past Misty Cliffs, continuing through the quaint seaside village of Scarborough, until reaching the Cape of Good Hope National Park. You will then be served tea/coffee and biscuits before venturing out on your own to walk up along the path and stairs, or take the Flying Dutchman Funicular (own expense) up to the incredibly beautiful viewing point around the base of the old Cape Point lighthouse.
Your next exciting stop will be Boulders Beach, a popular tourist destination, to view a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach is one of the few sites where the penguins can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. Boardwalks will take you to within a few yards of the birds. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3,000 birds in recent years.
For lunch you will stop in the old naval port of Simonstown, and go to the famous Salty Sea Dog restaurant, for the most delicious fish & chips, or whatever else takes your fancy (own expense).
Next it's on to the seaside town of Fish Hoek, which has one of the most beautiful in South Africa. Popular with locals and tourists alike, this would be a great spot for you to dip your toes into the warm Indian Ocean, or take a stroll along Jagers Walk to view the bay.
Head back home via Kalk Bay and over Boyes Drive for a panoramic view of False Bay, where you may be lucky enough to spot sharks or southern right whales.
