Africa Deluxe Tours Cape Point

Cape Peninsula Morning Tour

The half day Cape Peninsula Morning Tour is intended for travelers with limited time, as opposed to the full day version thereof. Departing from Cape Town you travel down the Atlantic Seaboard of the Cape Peninsula (western shore) towards Cape Point. Enroute you pass through Camps Bay and then follow the scenic coastal Victoria Drive onwards until you descend into picturesque Hout Bay.

You continue onto Chapman’s Peak Drive, climbing to below the actual Peak to enjoy beautiful views of the Bay below. Next you pass through Noordhoek traveling towards Cape Point.

On entering the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve you are surrounded by indigenous Fynbos vegetation. You may be lucky enough to see some eland - South Africa’s largest antelope species, often depicted in Bushman (Khoi & San) rock art.

Arriving at Cape Point you’ll have sufficient leisure time. Most people elect to take the stairs and path to the old lighthouse at the top of the ridge, though a funicular (own account) is also available. The 360-deg views from the base of the lighthouse are amazing. On a clear day you can see Hangklip across False Bay, 30km away. You can now claim to have visited the southwestern-most point of Africa.

Returning to Cape Town you follow the opposite shoreline of the Peninsula, which takes you through Simon’s Town, where you may opt to visit the African Penguin Colony at Boulders (own account), before returning to Cape Town
