Itinerary
-- Please Note: This tour may be outsourced to a different tour supplier. -- Start your day with a pickup from your central Cape Town hotel, and then set off by air-conditioned minivan to Hout Bay, a vibrant coastal town around an hour away. With time here spent at your leisure, you can choose to do as much — or as little — as you like.
Wander around the craft markets and cafes, or simply relax on the small, sandy beach. Alternatively, opt to cruise to nearby Duiker Island (own expense) to see the Cape fur seals that live there.
Next, continue to the Cape of Good Hope, passing along the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive that wraps around the Cape Peninsula. On the way, stop at Cape Point, a nature reserve within Table Mountain National Park, to wander amid its enchanting flora and fauna.
At the Cape of Good Hope, enjoy free time to walk along the rocky headland to a charming lighthouse, where you can admire the waves of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against Africa’s southwestern tip.
Enjoy free time to enter the Boulders Beach reserve (own expense) and see the penguins from the wooden walkways leading down to the beach within the reserve. Alternatively, continue along Willis Walk to see the penguins in their nests.
As the sun dip below on the horizon, hop back inside your minivan and return to Cape Town by way of the Muizenberg coastal route. Your tour concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel.

Aww Cape Point tour & Boulder's Beach with Hotspots2c is always a good day. This time we had a perfect day, perfect weather, lovely cute penguins and an amazing view from the top of Cape of Good Hope. The guide Liezel was perfect as our team Hotspots2c and it was incredible meet her after 2 years. She's so polite and extremely intelligent. All my tours with this company makes me happy and now, when I'm already back in Brazil, I can remembered all the perfect times watching my memories. Thanks a lot one more time Hotspots2c.

My wife, daughter and I took this tour in mid-September. Unfortunately, we caught this trip on the worst possible weather day you could imagine! Rain, Wind and more Rain!! Due to the wind, we were not able to drive along Chapman's Peak. In between rain squalls we did enjoy the Cape of Good Hope and saw baboons along the way. The penquins were the highlight! TK was an amazing tour guide and made the most of the bad weather day! TK has an incredible amount of knowledge about the area.
Hi, like you said.. it might not have been the best weather day, but your guide still managed to make the most of it! They don't call us "The Cape of Storms" for nothing... haha - but seriously - Rain, wind, and then some sunshine makes Cape Town road tripping always an adventure. Thanks for mentioning TK, what a knowledgeable local guide - really knows how to make the best of any situation, adding a whole new layer to the experience. We're also so appreciative that you chose to tour with us, especially as a portion of your tour fees goes towards community projects supported by our non-profit, 2cChange.

This was a fantastic tour and worth every penny! Barnabus was a fantastic guide and went the extra mile every time a request was made. The small group made it possible to get in and out without waiting for a bus full of people. The company was very responsive, letting us know when and where we would be picked up to start the day. Highly recommend this tour!!

A good trip to see the vitals off the cape peninsular! But it was really our driver/tour guide that made the trip special! With a lot of information along the road he made the trip intresting! At the same time agile he gave us the possibility the control the day! So ask for Maudi if you want a nice experience!

This is a perfect complement to the winery tours. We got to do a lot and it didn't feel too rushed. Everything on the trip is worth doing.
Yeah, our small group tours are never rushed and the pace and overall trip experience feel very relaxed.. giving you the opportunity to focus on what you like to do best during the free time scheduled at stops. Freedom of choice is what makes our trips so unique.. and super happy you loved it too. This trip especially has a full-round variety, from nature, wildlife and even wine... now that itinerary is a winning combo already! See you back in Cape Town again soon, and then we'll show you even more of our beautiful country.. Keep'on exploring, from Ferdi & team Hotspots2c
