The tour then winds its way along the legendary Chapman’s Peak Drive, offering breathtaking ocean views. Visit the beautiful Cape of Good Hope Section of the Table Mountain National Park.

Table Mountain Cable Car

Take a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain (weather-dependent) to enjoy the magnificent view of the Cape. The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau from one side to the other, edged by impressive cliffs. Table Mountain is often covered by clouds to form the so-called "tablecloth" of cloud. Table Mountain is a scenic photographic background and a place from where you can take breathtaking photos of Cape Town.

Visit Boulders Beach

Did you know that the African Penguin used to be called a “jackass” penguin because its call is similar to that of a braying donkey!

Today is at leisure for independent exploration. We would be happy to assist in pre-planning and arranging sightseeing tours to suit your interests.

Perhaps take a short walk to the vibrant Victoria and Alfred Waterfront to browse or shop at the array of shops, craft markets and restaurants.
