Activity itinerary

Bo-Kaap

Bo-Kaap, formerly known as Waalendorp and the Malay Quarter, is a historic neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa, known for its vibrant, colorful houses and rich cultural heritage. It originated in the 1760s as a settlement for enslaved and exiled individuals from various regions, who later became known as Cape Malays. Will have a stop for a photograph opportunity with the colourful houses, which carry great historical significance.

Hout Bay

Hout Bay, meaning “Wood Bay” in Afrikaans, is a historic seaside town located between Table Mountain and Chapman’s Peak near Cape Town. In the 1600s, the bay was used by Dutch and British ships as a safe anchorage and a source of timber for building and repairs, which gave the area its name. The surrounding forests once supplied wood for early settlers and passing ships. Over time, Hout Bay developed into a busy fishing harbor and coastal community. By the early 20th century, it had become an important center for the fishing industry, especially for snoek and crayfish. The harbor remains active today and is still a key part of local life. Today, Hout Bay is known for its working harbor, fresh seafood, boat trips to Seal Island, colorful fishing culture, and beautiful beaches—blending rich history with modern tourism.

Chapman's Peak Drive (Pass by)

Chapman’s Peak Drive is one of South Africa’s most spectacular coastal roads, carved into the cliffs between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. Construction began in 1915 and was completed in 1922, using mainly manual labor, picks, and explosives. At the time, it was considered an engineering masterpiece because workers built the road directly into solid rock above the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, many workers lost their lives during construction due to dangerous conditions. The road was named after John Chapman, a British sailor who anchored in Hout Bay in 1607 and called it “Chapman’s Chaunce.” Over time, this name became Chapman’s Peak. Today, the 9-kilometer drive is famous for its dramatic mountain-and-ocean views, scenic viewpoints, and unforgettable sunsets, making it a highlight of the Cape Peninsula and a favorite stop for tourists and photographers.

Cape of Good Hope

1h
Admission ticket included

The Cape of Good Hope is one of South Africa’s most famous landmarks and has played an important role in global maritime history. In 1488, Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias became the first European to sail around the cape. He originally named it the “Cape of Storms” because of its dangerous seas and strong winds. Later, the King of Portugal renamed it the “Cape of Good Hope”, as it opened a sea route to Asia and new trade opportunities. For centuries, the cape served as a vital navigation point for ships traveling between Europe and the East. Sailors relied on it as a landmark and resting area during long and difficult journeys. Today, the Cape of Good Hope is part of Table Mountain National Park and is protected for its rich wildlife, dramatic cliffs, and unique fynbos vegetation. It remains a powerful symbol of exploration, adventure, and natural beauty.
