Peninsula Scenic Tour Route

Chapman's Peak Drive

Your adventure begins with a drive along the world-renowned Chapman's Peak Drive, a 9km route meandering along the coastline. Revel in the awe-inspiring views of sandy bays below and the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. The drive, which spans from Hout Bay to Nordhoek Bay, offers multiple stopping points at elevations of up to 593m above sea level. Keep an eye out for playful whales and dolphins in the ocean, while curious baboon troops might observe you as you pass by.

Cape Point

One of the highlights of our tour is reaching Cape Point, where you'll stand 200m above sea level on a rugged hill. You can either hike up or take the funicular to the old lighthouse and indulge in panoramic vistas. Enjoy the facilities of a restaurant, food shop, and souvenir stores while immersing yourself in the diverse flora and fauna that call Cape Point their home. This area is not only a visual wonder but also holds historical significance as the south-western point of the African continent.

Boulders African Penguin Encounter

Next, you get to visit Boulders, renowned for its endangered African Penguin colony. Explore three charming beaches, a penguin viewing area, and traverse along three thoughtfully constructed boardwalks. These boardwalks provide a safe vantage point for observing these fascinating birds without disturbing their habitat. The colony was established in 1983 to support the penguin population, although environmental challenges still pose a threat to their numbers.

Simons Town

You'll then head to Simon's Town, a coastal gem that has served as a naval base and harbor for over two centuries. Uncover its rich historic and strategic heritage while appreciating the well-preserved buildings and landmarks. Explore the Simon's Town Museum, the South African Naval Museum, and the Simon's Town Heritage Museum, all contributing to the town's vibrant community.

Hout Bay

As you head towards Hout Bay on the north-western side of Chapman's Peak, you'll be captivated by its striking surroundings, nestled between mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Once a quaint fishing village, Hout Bay has transformed into a thriving community, complete with a bustling commercial fishing harbor. Admire its long, sandy beach framed by majestic mountains, and catch a glimpse of the charming Cape seals in the harbor.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

The final destination is the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, founded in 1913 to preserve South Africa's native flora. Wander through the conservatory, housing plants from various regions, and bask in the beauty of the outside garden, which primarily features indigenous Cape region plants. With an impressive area of 528 hectares set against the eastern slope of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is a truly exceptional horticultural wonder.

Customer Feedback

Brilliant service and so helpful
by Sally (Blisworth, U.K.)
I stumbled across Victoria Fall Guide by accident, but I am so glad I did. Tony and Boo were so helpful, advising us on the best activities for us as I have mobility issues, and arranging our itinerary and booking everything. I had no worries about using them, or sending a very large payment to someone I didn’t know. Everything they booked for us was so well organised, pick ups on time, knowledgeable and friendly guides, clean transport. We did the walking tour of the falls, the sunset dinner cruise, full day at Chobe, the team, lion encounter and the helicopter and every single one was faultless. We were also due to do the lunar rainbow but unfortunately it was cancelled, however boo arranged the refund immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We are so grateful to them for making our special holiday even more so.
