After the hotel pickups, proceed directly to the coastline. Pass through affluent suburbs featuring some of the finest beaches near the city, and pause for photos at Maidens Cove in Camps Bay. Continue towards Hout Bay, nestled between towering mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Here, enjoy an optional, scenic 45-minute round-trip boat cruise to Seal Island.

Not far away, stop for photos at the renowned Chapman’s Peak Drive. Admire this marvel of road engineering as you wind along the mountain’s edge. This breathtaking drive is not for the faint-hearted.

Arrive at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve before midday. Explore the rich vegetation of the Cape, the history of European explorers, maritime history, and, if fortunate, experience a mini safari.

Reach the southwesternmost point of the African continent, the Cape of Good Hope, and capture a photo with the iconic signboard. Continue to Cape Point and take a brief 15-minute walk to a historic lighthouse, or opt for a funicular ride at your own expense if you prefer not to walk.

Pause for lunch and stroll to see the old colonial-protected British buildings in Simon’s Town before heading to meet the endangered African penguins at Boulders Beach. Spend about 45-60 minutes at the penguin colony before returning to Cape Town along the coastline.

Discover Kalk Bay and Muizenberg Beach, a surfer’s paradise.
