PENINSULA (Private
Full-Day Tour)
Depart
the city along the Atlantic Seaboard past the coastal suburbs
of Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Clifton and stop for a photo of Table Mountain’s
towering Twelve Apostles. On past Bakoven and Llandudno, marked by shipwrecks,
to the fishing village of Hout Bay. Here, board a boat to view the Cape
Fur Seal colony on Duiker Island (weather permitting).
On return, head over the 600m heights of Chapman’s Peak Drive,
one of the world’s most spectacular passes, past the Cape’s
longest beach near Noordhoek and the hamlets of Kommetjie and Scarborough - with a chance to sight Southern
Right Whales just offshore from June
to November!
Explore the rocky coastline and unique Fynbos vegetation, home to birds
like African Black Oystercatchers and Cape Sugarbirds and view other
endemic fauna like Cape Mountain Zebra, Bontebok and Baboon as we enter
the Cape of Good Hope National Park. Climb (or ride a funicular) to the
famous Cape Point Lighthouse, to capture the magical vistas of False
Bay, and stop at the south westernmost point of Africa, the fabled Cape
of Good Hope.
After lunch at a coastal restaurant, visit Boulders Beach, for
a close-up with a colony of African (Jackass) Penguins, then head home
through the naval village of Simonstown and over Boyes Drive, taking
in views of the fishing harbour at Kalk Bay and the seaside havens of
St. James and Muizenberg.
