The most dramatic day out from Cape Town
The Cape Peninsula packs more scenery into a single day than almost anywhere on earth — and on a private Cape Point tour you see it without the queues, the coach timetable or the crowd. Cheryl has been driving this route since 2003, so she knows exactly when to reach each viewpoint, which lookouts the buses skip, and where to stop for the photograph you'll actually want to keep.
It's a comfortable full day from your Cape Town hotel or guesthouse, shaped entirely around what you want to see. Want to linger at the penguins and skip the lighthouse climb? Easy. Keen photographer chasing the light? She'll plan the day around it.
What you'll see
- Chapman's Peak Drive — one of the world's great coastal roads, carved into the cliffs between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.
- Cape of Good Hope & Cape Point — the wild, wind-blown headland at the foot of the Peninsula, with the old lighthouse and sweeping ocean views.
- Boulders Beach penguins — the famous African penguin colony on the sand near Simon's Town.
- Wild ostriches & antelope in the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve.
- Hout Bay — a working fishing harbour ringed by mountains, and the optional Seal Island boat trip.
- Optional stops — Kalk Bay, Muizenberg's beach huts, or a seafood lunch on the water.
Perfect for UK & overseas visitors

It works beautifully as your first full day in the city, while you find your feet.
