Cape Peninsula
Take in the full beauty of Cape Town and its surrounds on a tour of the Cape Peninsula.
A peninsula tour gives visitors the opportunity to experience the variety of landscapes and scenery Cape Town has to offer and is an excellent way for visitors to the city to orientate themselves.
Most tours take an entire day. Visitors staying in the city centre, northern suburbs, on the Blaauwberg coast or on the Atlantic seaboard should look for a tour that starts along the Atlantic coastline and returns via the towns along False Bay. However, those staying in the southern suburbs, Cape Flats or Helderberg areas should take a tour in the opposite direction, starting on the Indian Ocean coastline along False Bay. Those staying in suburbs along the peninsula should request to start and end their tour from their accommodation.
Tours starting along the Atlantic coastline usually take visitors through the coastal suburbs of Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay, and then meander past Llandudno to Hout Bay. The road is breathtakingly beautiful, with the sea to the right and the impressive back slopes of Table Mountain to the left.
Some tours stop Hout Bay, allowing visitors to explore the interesting fishing harbour, shops and craft market, or take a boat trip to Seal Island, where more than 20 000 Cape Fur seals loll in the sun or play in the sea.
From Hout Bay, most tours proceed to Noordhoek along the spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive (when open), or along the alternative route through Constantia Nek. The 9km-long (5.6mi) Chapman’s Peak Drive offers stunning 180-degree views over the Atlantic Ocean and is touted as one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. The route, initially constructed during World War I, traverses 114 curves along the rocky coastline.
Some tours continue to Cape Point via Scarborough on the Atlantic coastline, while others take the False Bay route, visiting the Boulders penguin colony just after Simon’s Town. Either way, the routes lead to Cape Point, which is in the Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park. This is one of the highlights of the day.
Once through the park’s gate, it’s a short drive to Cape Point, along which you can enjoy views across the fynbos towards the sea. You might be lucky enough to spot chacma baboons, bontebok, eland, zebras and ostriches.
The Table Mountain National Park is one of the eight areas of the Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site, which the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation describes as “one of the richest areas for plants in the world”. Seventy percent of the species here occur nowhere else on Earth.
All tours stop at Cape Point, where visitors are encouraged to take the funicular railway or walk to the lighthouse at the top of the hill to take in the spectacular view.
Most tours return along a different route to the one taken to Cape Point. Along the way, look out for the southern right whales that frequent the coast between July and November.
Many peninsula tours include a walk through the beautiful Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden on the slopes of Table Mountain. From Kirstenbosch, it is likely that you will pass the University of Cape Town, South Africa’s oldest university, on your way back into the city, where you will be dropped off at your accommodation after a memorable day out.
