What makes this particular route special? Visitors enjoy a full day trip in a luxury, air-conditioned coach, with an on-board tour guide sharing information throughout the day. It’s the longest tour on the City Sightseeing roster, and guests are advised to allocate a full day to enjoy the outing. The route comprises a wide range of spectacular sights. You'll journey along the coastline, passing charming villages and taking in the breathtaking scenery before reaching the Cape Point Nature Reserve, which falls within the Table Mountain National Park. Keep an eye out for potential sightings of local wildlife, including the baboon (but please remember not to feed them!). The tour brings you back to Cape Town at the end of the day.
Cape Point is often mistakenly called the tip of Africa, but that title is reserved for Cape Agulhas. Nonetheless, this dramatic corner is known for its treacherous waters, earning the historical nickname, the "Cape of Good Hope" or "Cape of Storms." The views here are truly spectacular, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet in False Bay.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to Boulders Beach, one of the prime spots in South Africa to see the penguins in their natural habitat.
The Cape Point Nature Reserve is a popular destination with tourists and locals alike, offering a fantastic day trip experience year-round. City Sightseeing's Cape Point and Boulders Beach excursion is a live-guided, full-day tour to this one-of-a-kind spot on the Cape Peninsula and its surrounding areas.
This tour showcases the key highlights of the Cape Peninsula, including Muizenberg Beach, a visit to Simon’s Town to see the penguins at Boulders Beach, a scenic drive through Hout Bay, and time to explore Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.
You will visit Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town, where thousands of African Penguins gather. The viewing area at Foxy Beach lets you watch the penguins safely as they rest among the granite boulders.
The route features some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in South Africa, including Chapman’s Peak Drive. The area south of Cape Town forms part of the Table Mountain Nature Reserve, offering stunning ocean and mountain views throughout the journey.
The tour lasts about 8–9 hours. Your guide will share insight into the marine life of the region, the history of Simon’s Town, conservation of the African Penguins, and the meeting point of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans at Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.
The ticket covers the main tour and transport, but entry fees for Boulders Beach and the Cape Point Nature Reserve may be paid separately depending on your booking. Check your tour details for confirmation.
