Full description
First, make a quick stop in the heart of Cape Town city center to discover the colorful community known as Bo-kaap. Then, head straight for the coastline. Pass by affluent suburbs with some of the best beaches near the city, stopping for photos at Camps Bay. Proceed on towards Hout Bay seated in between gigantic mountains and the Atlantic.  Enjoy an optional scenic 40-minute round-trip boat ride to Seal Island. Resume your tour via the world-famous Chapman's Peak Drive. Marvel at this road engineering feat as you wind over the edge of the mountains; this scenic drive is not for the faint-hearted. Next, arrive at the Cape of Goodhope Nature Reserve just after midday. Discover the rich plant life of the Cape, early human history, maritime history and if you are lucky you might be able to have a mini safari.  Reach the southwesternmost point of the continent - the Cape of Good Hope - and take a photo with the sign. Hiking is recommended but no swimming because of sheer riptides. Carry on to Cape Point and walk for 20 minutes one way up to a historic lighthouse. You could also take a funicular at your own account if you are not in the mood for walking. Feel free to stop for lunch at the world-class seafood restaurant with a sea view or grab a quick bite in the food shop next door. Next, embark on a journey to Simon's Town for a special date with the endangered African penguins at Boulders Beach. Spend about 45 minutes at the penguin colony before you head back to Cape Town along the coastline. Pass through the quaint towns on this historically known Millionaire's Mile. Hear fun facts about the navy and Just Nuisance - the only dog in the world to have been an able seaman. Finally, discover Kalk Bay and Muizenberg Beach, the surfer's corner before returning to the starting point.

This tour is incredible, a definite highlight of our trip - you get to see so many sights in one day! Candice our tour guide was amazing, so knowledgeable, we definitely learnt a lot throughout the day. Candice and our driver Bosco were so friendly, and always happy to take pictures of us on the trip. The lunch spot in Simon’s Town is beautiful, right on the water and would recommend seeing the seals at Hout Bay! Thanks to the team for such an amazing day!

There was a little bit of everyone on this trip. We have seen and experienced a lot! Kevin, the guide, told us a lot and drove well too. A bit unnecessary: 20 minutes in Bo-Kap (you can do it yourself if you're in Cape Town) and the lunch break that's a bit too long. We would have liked to have spent more time at the Cape of Good Hope instead.

The day was full with activities and we felt that we were well taken care of! All the places we visited were stunning. My personal favourite was Cape Point. Our tour guide is named Peter and he was very kind and well prepared!Bonus points that each one of us was given a free bottle of water! Much appreciated gesture. Highly recommended!
