Cape Town: Full Day Cape of Good Hope with Penguins Tour

Discover the most southwestern tip of the Cape Peninsula and marvel at some of the most spectacular views in the world. The drive from Cape Town passes steep mountains, secluded coves, and sweeping stretches of beach.

Your full-day tour begins with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburbs of Sea Point and Camps Bay, where you'll have spectacular views of the Table Mountain range.

Drive past the fishing village of Hout Bay, to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, comprising over 17,300 acres of indigenous fauna & flora. The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including baboons, rhebok, Cape mountain zebra, bontebok, and the elusive eland. It is also one of the world's largest breeding grounds for tortoises. Birdwatchers, too, will find many fine species to observe.

You'll see the spot where, as per legend, the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet and feel the brisk wind that is dubbed the ''Cape Doctor'' for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, you'll return to Cape Town by way of Simon's Town, with a stop to visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

We return to Cape Town, passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, and the Groote Schuur Hospital.
