    Journey through the beautiful Hout Bay valley before ascending the spectacular cliffs of Chapman's Peak Drive. Your guide will share stories of its naval and fishing heritage.
  3. Chapman's Peak Drive
    15m · Admission ticket included
    Often described as one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world, Chapman’s Peak Drive sweeps along steep cliffs with uninterrupted views over Hout Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The route’s dramatic curves, impressive engineering, and well-placed viewpoints make it a highlight of any Cape Peninsula journey. It’s a moment to pause, breathe in the sea air, and take in the landscape at its most spectacular.
  4. Cape Point Nature Reserve
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Explore the spectacular scenery of Cape Point, with the option to walk (30 minutes) or take the funicular (small tram) up to the historic lighthouse. From the clifftop viewpoints, enjoy sweeping views across the peninsula and ocean below.

  5. Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Boulders Beach is world-famous for its colony of African penguins, living freely among the smooth granite boulders and turquoise shallows. A series of boardwalks lets guests observe them up close without disturbing their natural habitat. This gentle stop is always a highlight — a chance to see these delightful birds waddling, preening, and swimming in a sanctuary that feels almost tropical.
  6. Simon's Town

    Simon’s Town is a historic naval town with deep maritime roots and remarkable Victorian architecture. As the home base of the South African Navy, it offers a blend of heritage, harbour views, and colourful streets lined with cafés and boutiques.
