PENINSULA WITH
TABLE MOUNTAIN (Private Full-Day Tour)
Depart the city for the Lower Cableway Station to board
the revolving cable car, for a 5-minute ride to the top of Table
Mountain. The mountain top is 1,036
meters above sea level and affords bird’s-eye views of
both the city and Peninsula as you explore its summit (weather
permitting).
Descend and head along the Atlantic Seaboard past Camps Bay and Llandudno,
to the fishing village of Hout Bay, then climb over Chapman’s
Peak Drive,
one of the world’s most awe-inspiring passes, 600m above the ocean. In
the Noordhoek Valley, take in Long Beach and the coastal villages of Kommetjie and Scarborough,
with the chance to see Southern
Right Whales (found in these waters
between June and November).
After lunch at a popular coastal restaurant, enter the Cape of Good Hope National
Park for an off-road drive to untouched Olifants Bay and a chance to see a herd
of Bontebok antelope, one of the Park’s many endemic animal species, as
well as Cape Mountain Zebra, Ostrich and Baboon. Then continue to the tip of
the Cape Peninsula and Africa’s south westernmost point for a walk (or
funicular ride) to the Cape Point Lighthouse with its panoramic views of False
Bay.
Return along the False Bay coast to Boulders Beach, for a close-up with
a colony of African (Jackass) Penguins, before heading 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 en route.
