"Thank you for organising a very good trip. We had the most wonderful holiday … All the places you chose for us to stay were fantastic … The children had a fantastic time.They loved being so close to the animals. They could not believe how warm the Indian Ocean is, and we had great difficulty getting them out of the sea..

Cape Peninsula Full Day Tour
From Cape Town you travel southwards along the western seaboard of the Cape Peninsula through Camps Bay and past Llandudno. At the scenic Hout Bay you have the option of taking a 30-minute boat trip out of the Bay to nearby Duiker Island, where you’ll view a colony of Cape Seals (own account at ±ZAR80 and highly recommended). If you prefer to stay on land you may browse curios stalls on the docks, watch small fishing trawlers offload their catch or enjoy a light snack at one of the harbour eateries.
Continuing from Hout Bay you travel over the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive, which hugs the mountainside with incredible views of the Bay and ocean below. Then it’s on to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point within where a 20-minute walk to the old lighthouse on the top of the ridge is rewarded with magnificent views. On a clear day you can see right across False Bay all the way to Hangklip, ±30km away.
Returning from Cape Point you travel on the eastern shore of the Peninsula. In Simon’s Town you have the option to visit the popular Boulders Beach Penguin Colony (own account). The resident African Penguins are very popular with tourists. Boardwalks take you close to the birds but also keep humans from interfering with their habitat. Heading back towards Cape Town, an eventful day ends with a visit to the renowned Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.
