It’s a full day tour, got to see a lot of places in a comfortable tour bus. Make sure u get yourself prepared for the trip.

Barnabas Matore was a great guide. Knowledgeable and humorous. Booking tickets to the parks online was difficult and we needed cash. pre-paid to the company would be a better option as we had to rely on the guide and driver to use their credit cards otherwise it was a great long day.

Full description

Start your full-day tour of Table Mountain, Penguins and Cape of Good Hope/Cape Point with pick up at your hotel in Cape Town followed by a brief city orientation tour and a stop in the Bo Kaap for photos with its colourful houses and learn about their history. From there we head to the Table Mountain cable car station to take the cable car to the top of the mountain for unforgettable views from this 7 Wonder of Nature.

Drive along the Atlantic coast, stopping at Maiden's Cove for photos with the backdrop of the 12 Apostles mountain range. Enjoy the spectacular views from Chapman's Peak Drive, one of the world's most scenic routes and enjoy a photo stop at the viewpoint.

Visit Boulder's Penguins Colony at Boulder's Beach and see approximately 2500 African Penguins, before reaching the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.
