Itinerary

  • Bantry Bay (Pass By)

    Driving slowly along the coast with Bo-kaap behind us. Our journey will take us through some of Africa's most posh suburbs. Bantry bay is one of them. A seaside suburb tucked up on the western slopes of the world famous Lions head mountain. According to meteorologist Bantry bay is the only suburb in Cape town that is not affected by the south eastern winds that Cape town experiences on a regular basis and this is all thanks to the Lions head. Bantry bay has over 260 wind free days a year and which is a significant number considering Cape town's windy climate.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    Next to Bantry bay is Camps bay. Another plush sea side suburb punctuated by the popular white sandy camps bay beach and the twelve apostles mountain range. Guest will have an opportunity to step out of the vehicle and savour the beautiful views and take photos of what man's hand and nature have blended into a masterpiece.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    A short 20 minutes from Camps lies Hout Bay .A beautiful town surrounded by dramatic mountains on all sides. Hout bay is Dutch for wood bay and history books has it that this is where the Dutch east India company once used to fetch timber for the building of settlements and Ships .Hout bay is also affectionately know as The Republic of Hout bay. The dramatic mountains surrounding the town Isolates the town from all other towns and leaving motorist with only one way to access this town and which is by driving over mountain passes.

  • Chapman's Peak Drive (Pass By)

    Once we have had our fair share of seals and souvenir markets at Hout bay harbor. Our journey will resume along the rocky coastline via one of the most awe inspiring & scenic mountain side road in the Cape. The Chapman's Peak drive. The proclaimed engineer's pride Chapman's peak drive tread from North to south on the edge of the Chapman's peak mountains that drop into the ocean like an avalanche .There are view picnic sites and rest spots whereby guest will have an opportunity to hop out of the car and soak in the beauty through naked eyes and/or camera lenses.

Right at the southern end of the Chapmans peak drive and laden with renown coffee shops, Raw juice shops, bakeries and souvenir shops .Guest might also want to take this opportunity to use the restroom before the long stretch towards the Cape of Good hope.

  • Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

    Boulders beach is home to the endangered African penguin. It is also one of the only 2 mainland penguin colonies in South Africa. Since they were listed on the red list of endangered species, a boardwalk was constructed to restrict too much human interruption at the penguin colony. However guest can still get very close to the penguin and get close up pictures albeit without having to be standing on the beach but the boardwalk.

    1 hour

  • Simon's Town (Pass By)

    Victorian built Simon's town is home to South Africa's navy .The town is also known to be a hot-spot for fresh seafood.(Guest might also have lunch here depending on the guide's discretion on the day)

  • N/A (Pass By)

Kalk bay is glittered with stylish buildings from the mid 1800s.One might like to explore Kalk bay's restaurants, art galleries ,theaters, cuban cigar bars or even the fresh fish markets should there be time.

  • Muizenberg Beach (Pass By)

    Muizenberg is the last town along the false bay coast before driving back to Cape town. A surfers haven. Muizenberg's over 14km long beach is quiet popular to ordinary beach goers, swimmers and surfers. The water is warmer than in Cape town. The bay is shallow making swimming fun and the surfs are consistent and a heaven to the surfers. Along the beach are also colorful changing huts that makes for great photo taking.(Kindly take note that the stop at the beach is only possible considering that there is free flow of traffic on the day)

Amazing

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing experience!! Leticia is super nice and gave me the best local experience. Loved the penguin tour & the beach. Would absolutely recommend. 10/10

Thank you Doney!

Published on Jan, 2025

Doney was an absolutely incredible guide! We learned so much about the history of Cape Town and had such a great time to boot. The chapman's peak drive on the way home really topped it off and Doney was kind enough to take our photo in some of the Man picturesque locations! Would recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town!

Brilliant tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We went with a wonderful female guide Nene from this company today. I wanted to go to the penguins at Boulders Beach but also Table Mountain and BoKapp in Cape Town so we arranged a private tour of five hours. We also went on Chapmans Peak Drive which was so beautiful. Picked us up - myself and two teenage daughters and dropped us back at our hotel. Nene was so informed on the history, environment, food and wine and issues in this region. We learned so much but also it was so much fun and we laughed a lot. My girls loved it as did I thank you so much Nene for a wonderful tour xxx Suzanne Campbell (Ireland)
