Begin your journey with a visit to world renowned Table Mountain, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.

From the top, take in panoramic scenery stretching toward the Atlantic Ocean and capture incredible photographs of the Mother City from above.

After descending, continue along the spectacular Chapman's Peak Drive, a coastal route carved into the mountainside and celebrated as one of the most scenic roads in the world. As you wind along dramatic cliffs, enjoy sweeping ocean views and numerous picture-perfect stops. This section of the tour offers an unforgettable blend of rugged landscapes, turquoise waters, and soaring rock formations.
Your adventure continues to the Cape of Good Hope, a site of deep natural and historical significance. Explore rocky pathways, admire viewpoints dotted with fynbos vegetation, and learn about the early explorers who navigated this once treacherous route around the African continent. From here, make your way to Cape Point, home to a historic lighthouse perched high above the ocean. Take in the stunning views of the peninsula and witness the meeting point of powerful ocean currents that shape the coastline.
Next, visit Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town, famous for its thriving colony of endangered African penguins. Walk along the wooden boardwalks for a respectful and unobtrusive encounter with these charming birds. Watch them waddle across the sand, swim in the clear water, and nest among the boulders. This is one of the most beloved wildlife attractions in the region, offering excellent opportunities for photography and close observation.
