Wild Cape Peninsula: Penguins & Good Hope Ultimate Day Trip
No address available
Hi there! I am your local Cape Town guide, and I cannot wait to take you on this tour for I have many stories about the Cape of good hope that I would love to share with you. Pickup will be from your hotel before we head to Bo-Kaap, where the brightly colored houses tell stories of Cape Town’s rich cultural past. From there, we will head along one of the world's most scenic coastal routes. Expect jaw dropping views as we slowly make our way to Cape of good hope. This area is part of the world's richest plant family and optional hikes will be offered to you. We will also explore a few charming seaside towns. In Hout Bay, you will have the option to take a short boat trip out to Duiker Island to see the Cape Fur Seals. Then in Simon’s Town, we will meet the famous African Penguins at Boulders Beach. On our way back to Cape Town, depending on the road traffic flow, we will pass through Muizenberg Beach, known for its colorful beach huts and surf vibe before ending the day at your hotel.

The was arguably one of the best tours I’ve embarked on—it far exceeded my expectations. First off, the tour was a lot more comprehensive than what’s listed on TripAdvisor. The tour started on time and ended on time (which was determined by a group census at the beginning of the tour). The van was secure, spacious and comfortable. And as for the tour itself, there was plenty of time allotted to experience each stop intimately. Perhaps, the overall experience was enhanced by our tour guide, Kelvin. There are people who show up to work and there are those who love what they do; Kelvin is the latter! Kelvin was timely with each of our stops yet was flexible when the group needed more time and adjust his routes when necessary. He frequently checked in on the group to ensure we were having a great experience and curated the itinerary to our preferences as we went along. Oh did I mention he is a great photographer? He took astonishing photos regardless of device and with little to no instructions. Kelvin’s experience, professionalism and kindness was palpable. I could go on and on, but yes, you can trust this group to deliver a high quality experience!

We had an amazing trip with Candy and Zane. Overall the package included many stops all the way down to the cape of good hope. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Recommend this trip if you are pressed for time and would like to get out of the city to see other parts of the Cape.

Amazing tour that allows you to see a number of stops along the way. I only wish we could stay longer at some of the stops (like the Farm Stand). Really amazing tour and Max was the best tour guide!

Great day with our tour leader Jean! We were a family of 5 adults and the day was perfect! Jean picked us up in a luxury van and took us to all the highlights we could not possibly have done on our own. His knowledge of the area was impressive and we learned so much! Such rich history. The scenery was breathtaking and he made sure to stop as often as possible for us to get out, explore & take photos! The penguins were a highlight of the day and the hike from Cape point to Cape of Good Hope! Everything was seamless and well organized! Would not change a thing- highly recommend this tour!!

The tour was very well organized. From convenient hotel pickup to meeting all the tour stops. Tour guide Candy has extensive knowledge of the city and surrounding area and is able to convey it in an engaging way. Driver Zane transported our group safely and on time to all the planned attractions. In short, the tour was very interesting and worth the money, especially if you take it with Candy and Zane.

Amazing Experience especially if it is your first time visiting Cape Town. Lots to see in this tour from Bo-Kaap, to beautiful views of Camps Bay and Chapmans Peak and the tour guy would allocate a lot of time to take pictures and enjoy the views. The boat ride to the seal’s island was lovely, the farm as well with the good coffee and pastries. The Cape of Good Hope reserve hike was absolutely stunning and the penguins on boulders beach are a must see! Our guide, Rodney, was the best from start to finish. Fun guy, providing us with lots of information on the area and its history. Could not recommend this trip any further! Book your tickets

Candice was very knowledgeable about Cape Town and I felt I had learnt a lot. We stopped by many beautiful places. Just make sure you bring a jacket as the weather can change quickly!

What an excellent adventure! Our tour guide, Candy, provided a detailed narrative throughout the day - not only enthusiastically covering the sights that we witnessed but also providing fascinating background and insights on the history, culture and current issues of her beloved country. Zane, our driver for the day, was courteous and professional throughout allowing us to safely sit back and enjoy the day.
