Why Travelers Love This
As a private excursion, this tour can be tailored entirely to your preferences. However we recommend an early morning departure to make the most of the soft coastal light as you travel along the scenic Cape Peninsula toward Cape Point Nature Reserve. The circular route from Cape Town covers approximately 180 km, following the Atlantic Seaboard with its pristine white beaches and dramatic ocean views. By mid-morning, you’ll arrive at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve at the tip of the peninsula, with time to explore and walk up to the historic lighthouse. You will also visit the iconic Cape of Good Hope, the southwestern most point of Africa and the legendary meeting place of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Returning along the eastern side of the peninsula, the journey continues with a visit to the famous penguin colony at Boulders Beach, followed by the lush landscapes of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Making for a truly memorable Cape Peninsula experience.
