About This Experience
Rated 4.8 stars with 819+ reviews, this signature full-day small-group tour covers every must-see highlight of the Cape Peninsula — and adds the cultural gem of Bo-Kaap to the mix. Begin in the vibrant Cape Malay Quarter of Bo-Kaap, where candy-coloured houses line cobblestone streets and the scent of spices fills the air. Drive along the spectacular Chapman's Peak coastal road, then descend into the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Hike to the old lighthouse for jaw-dropping views where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge. Stand at the iconic Cape of Good Hope signpost for your ultimate selfie moment. Continue to Simon's Town where the famous African penguin colony at Boulders Beach is sure to melt your heart. Your expert guide shares hidden stories, local legends, and the best photo spots. Small groups (max 12) mean personal attention, guaranteed window seats, and a pace that feels unhurried yet complete.
