What to expect

  1. V&A Waterfront

    Start your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup, then sit back and relax as we head to our first stop—the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood—where you'll enjoy a beautiful sunrise and unforgettable views.
  2. Bo-kaap
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Begin your journey in the vibrant Bo-Kaap, one of Cape Town's most historic and colorful neighborhoods. Famous for its brightly painted houses and cobblestone streets, Bo-Kaap is the cultural heart of the Cape Malay community. Dating back to the 18th century, the area was originally home to enslaved people brought to the Cape from Southeast Asia, whose descendants helped shape the city's rich cultural heritage. Guests will have time to admire the colorful architecture, take photographs, and learn about the history and traditions that make this neighborhood so unique.
  3. Table Mountain & Lion’s Head - Cape Town
    Pass by
    Leaving Bo-Kaap, the tour passes beneath the world-famous Table Mountain, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Guests will enjoy spectacular views of its distinctive flat summit before continuing past Lion's Head, a remarkable mountain peak named for its resemblance to a crouching lion. These iconic landmarks provide excellent photo opportunities from the comfort of the vehicle.
  4. Camps Bay
    15m
    Continue along the beautiful Atlantic coastline through Camps Bay, one of Cape Town's most prestigious seaside suburbs. Known for its white sandy beach, luxury homes, palm-lined promenade, and trendy cafés, Camps Bay offers stunning ocean views against the dramatic mountain backdrop. Guests will have photo opportunity at this site.
  5. Twelve Apostles
    Pass by
    The journey continues beneath the magnificent Twelve Apostles mountain range, a series of rugged peaks forming part of Table Mountain National Park. These towering cliffs create one of the most spectacular coastal landscapes in South Africa and are among the most photographed mountain ranges in the country.
  6. Chapman's Peak Drive
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Experience one of the world's most scenic marine drives as you travel along Chapman's Peak Drive. Opened in 1922 after years of engineering through steep sandstone cliffs, this remarkable roadway stretches between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.

  7. Cape of Good Hope
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Arrive at the legendary Cape of Good Hope, located within the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park. Although often mistaken as the southernmost point of Africa, it is one of the continent's most iconic landmarks and has long been associated with the great maritime explorers who sailed around the Cape during the Age of Discovery. Guests will have time to walk to the famous Cape of Good Hope sign, take memorable photographs, and enjoy the dramatic meeting of rugged cliffs, diverse fynbos vegetation, and sweeping ocean vistas.
  8. Old Cape Point Lighthouse
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Continue to Cape Point, where towering cliffs rise more than 200 meters above the ocean. To reach the historic lighthouse, guests may either enjoy a short uphill walk or take the Flying Dutchman Funicular, a convenient rail ride that carries visitors close to the summit. From the upper viewing platforms, guests are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the coastline, dramatic cliffs, and the surrounding national park. The lighthouse has guided ships around the Cape for well over a century and remains one of South Africa's most recognizable landmarks.
  9. Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
    2h · Admission ticket included
    The next stop is Boulders Beach, home to one of the world's few mainland colonies of African penguins.
