Activity itinerary

Cape Town

1) Hotel Pickups (07:30–08:30) — we depart ~08:00 We meet you in the hotel lobby (please be ready 5–10 min early) within our 10 km zone—City Bowl, V&A Waterfront, Green/Sea Point, Fresnaye, Bantry Bay, Clifton, Camps Bay—or we meet at The Westin (07:10) if you’re outside the zone. We load into our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (AC, USB ports, chilled water). The day before, we send your exact pickup time, guide/driver details, and official links to pre-purchase entrance tickets.

Cape Town (Pass by)

2) City Orientation Drive (10–15 min) — we set the scene We roll past the Castle of Good Hope, Company’s Garden, and Parliament while we share how mountain, ocean, and history shaped Cape Town. We keep this short so we can reach the coast early.

Bo-kaap

3) Bo-Kaap Walk (20–30 min) — we wander the pastel streets We stroll Wale & Chiappini Streets, chat about Cape Malay heritage, spices, and community stories, and we grab those colour-lane photos with Signal Hill behind us. Walking is easy (±400–600 m). We keep voices low and doorways clear. Restrooms are nearby on request.

Atlantic Rail

4) Atlantic Seaboard & Maiden’s Cove (30–45 min) — we chase the view We cruise via Mouille Point, Sea Point, Bantry Bay, Clifton to Maiden’s Cove. We hop out for postcard shots of Camps Bay under the Twelve Apostles (and sometimes Robben Island on clear days). It can be breezy, so we zip up jackets and secure hats.

Hout Bay

5) Hout Bay Harbour & Market (30–40 min) — we explore the quay We browse craft stalls, grab barista coffee, and look for cheeky seals with Sentinel Peak towering above the boats. Facilities and snacks are on the quay. We agree a regroup time so cruisers and non-cruisers sync perfectly.

Duiker Island

40m
Admission ticket not included

6) Optional Seal Island Cruise (±40 min) — we board if seas allow We take the ferry to Duiker Island (pay operator; weather-dependent; typically ~R120–R150 adult / ~R60–R75 child). We sit mid-ship if motion-sensitive and pack a windbreaker for ocean spray. If the cruise pauses for swells, we add extra harbour/photo time—no loss to the big sights.

Chapman's Peak Drive

25m
Admission ticket included

7) Chapman’s Peak Drive (20–25 min; toll included) — we float above the ocean We drive the legendary cliff-edge Chapman’s Peak Drive and pause at one or two viewpoints for epic photos. We stay behind barriers—gusts can be strong. Plan-B: if Chappies is closed (wind/rockfall), we reroute via Ou Kaapse Weg (Silvermine) and add a Noordhoek/Long Beach dune lookout—equally cinematic.

Noordhoek Farm Village

8) Noordhoek Farm Village (20–30 min) — we reset & refuel We stretch legs beneath shady oaks, grab gelato/coffee or a pastry (own account), and browse artisan shops. This is our slow-life pause before the national park.

Scarborough

9) Misty Cliffs & Scarborough (scenic ~20 min) — we hug the wild coast We thread through wind-brushed coves and fynbos dunes where raptors ride the thermals and waves comb the shore. Few coaches take this detour; we soak up the raw Cape Peninsula.

Cape Point Ostrich Farm

10) Cape Point Ostrich Stop (10–15 min) — we say hello to giants We pull over for fun photos and quick facts about Africa’s largest bird before the park gate. We never feed or approach too closely—respectful distance keeps us and the birds safe.

Cape Point Nature Reserve

10m
Admission ticket not included

11) Enter Cape of Good Hope / Cape Point (gate) — we scan & go (card-only) We handle tickets (or scan your pre-purchased pass). Bring ID/passport for local/SADC rates. • SA Citizens/Residents: R105 adult / R55 child (2–11) • SADC Nationals: R210 adult / R105 child • International: R455 adult / R225 child We roll into UNESCO Table Mountain National Park—fynbos, sea cliffs, eland and ostrich—timing our stops to dodge queues and catch the best light.

Cape of Good Hope

12) Cape of Good Hope Sign (25–30 min) — we get the bucket-list shot We walk the short boardwalk/compacted path to the south-western tip sign and we line up the cliffs, surf and lettering for your photo. We keep food sealed—baboons can be curious. If you’re keen, we take a quick ridge path overlooking Dias Beach.

Old Cape Point Lighthouse

1h 15m

13) Cape Point & Old Lighthouse (60–75 min) — we climb or funicular We choose: walk the paved path (moderate incline, rails) or ride the Flying Dutchman Funicular (card-only; not tiered by nationality): Return R105 adult / R55 child (6–16); One-way R90 adult / R50 child; under-6 free with an adult. At the top, we drink in 360° views over False Bay and the Atlantic, hear shipwreck legends, and use the café/shops/restrooms.

Simon's Town

14) Simon’s Town Lunch (45–60 min; own account) — we refuel by the harbour We pick from our trusted eateries—fresh seafood with views or casual cafés with veggie/vegan options. We top up water, charge devices on the coach and sunscreen up for the penguins.

Simon's Town

14. Simon’s Town & Lunch – 45 mins We take a slow drive through Simon’s Town, one of South Africa’s oldest towns and the base of the South African Navy. Its Victorian buildings, harbor views, and naval history give it a unique charm. You’ll learn about Just Nuisance, the only dog officially enlisted in the Navy, whose statue stands proudly in Jubilee Square. We stop here for lunch at a seaside restaurant (own account). Your guide can recommend top local spots — from fresh seafood to Cape Malay cuisine — all with views over False Bay.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

1h
Admission ticket not included

15) Boulders Beach African Penguins (45–60 min) — we meet the tuxedos (card-only) We pay (or pre-purchase via our link). Bring ID/passport for SA/SADC rates. • SA Citizens/Residents: R50 adult / R25 child (2–11) • SADC Nationals: R100 adult / R50 child • International: R215 adult / R105 child We follow wooden boardwalks for close, respectful viewing. We keep 5 m, never touch/feed, and no drones. We go low for eye-level penguin portraits and spot nests or moulting birds.

Muizenberg Beach

17) St James & Muizenberg Beach Huts (0–20 min; time permitting) — we grab the colours If traffic is kind, we swing by the colourful Victorian bathing boxes and tidal pools along False Bay. We watch for cyclists and surf schools. If the M3 is heavy, we skip this to keep drop-offs on time and we share alternate coastal lookouts as we turn citybound.

Cape Town Central (Pass by)

18) Return to Cape Town (~17:00–17:30) — we wrap the day smoothly We cruise back (often via De Waal Drive) with Table Mountain in view and we drop you at your pickup/meeting point. If you like, we line up Table Mountain cableway, Franschhoek Wine Tram, Robben Island pre-booked tickets, or a private peninsula upgrade for another day.
