Our recommended itinerary begins with a scenic hike along the western shoreline of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, crossing to the eastern side with spectacular views over False Bay. During spring, vibrant flora, prolific birdlife, whale watching, and stunning coastal scenery make this one of the finest Cape Point tours available. The Cape of Good Hope hike continues south towards Cape Point, following dramatic coastlines, pristine beaches, and sections of light rock scrambling. Encounters with baboons are common along the route. After a break at Cape Point, continue to the historic lighthouse and the iconic Cape of Good Hope, the south-westernmost point of Africa, via well-maintained trails and boardwalks. Enjoy breathtaking views over unspoiled Diaz Beach before returning to Cape Town. The tour concludes with a visit to the world-famous African penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

5.00I will never forget this. This day trip is something that you can’t found somewhere else. And the reason is simple, Patrick (the guide with who you are). I recommend this day trip with my eyes closed. It was a unique moment, the best day of my 30 days journey in South Africa.
