While you’ll enjoy the spectacular views and highlights along the Cape Peninsula, this tour is specially designed for travelers who have a passion for African penguins.

Magical day at Cape Point

This tour exceeded every expectation we had. We initially booked because we wanted to see the penguins, and they were absolutely worth seeing. But the real highlight of the day was Cape Point itself. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. It was on of the most beautiful places we visited during our time in South Africa. What truly made the experience special, though, was our guide, Tingo. Tingo was everything you could hope for in a guided: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging and genuinely passionate about Cape Town. He didn’t just show us the sights - he brought them to life with stories, history, local knowledge and an obvious love for the area that was completely infectious. We felt like we weren’t just seeing Cape Town’s highlights; we were experiencing them through the eyes of someone who truly treasures them. His energy never faded and his recommendations were spot on. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. I absolutely recommend Tingo and if you happen to book with him, get him to take you to his two favorite coffee spots when he picks you up in the morning. They are fantastic!

Amazing memories and tour!

We booked this tour after having such an amazing time on the wine tasting tour. We were able to visit quite a few landmarks on the way down to Cape Point and as Tingo makes an effort to know your interests he is able to customise the tour to any sites that may be of more interest to you, so no two tours will be the same. We have such amazing memories and photos from the tour and would highly recommend!

Beyond expectation, wonderful experience!

We did a full day tour out of Camp’s Bay to Boulder beach and Cape Point. We had an amazing experience and our guide Tingo was way beyond our expectations. He has extensive local and historical knowledge that filled the driving time and insider tricks to make the best of each stop on the tour. He was fun and accommodating and is extremely personable. We had a wonderful experience!!

Best birthday of my life!

My tour guide Tingo made my entire trip in Cape Town. I truly would have been lost without him. I booked a trip spontaneously and had no plan and no where to start, and I’m so glad I ended up booking this tour. I felt very safe and comfortable throughout the tour, and was especially happy with how knowledgeable Tingo was about the history all around us. The views at cape point were breath taking. Pictures don’t do the views justice, but the tour guide got close with the amazing candid and photos they took of my mother and I. They have a great eye for photos. I mistakenly wore heels and did just fine but definitely recommend wearing closed toed comfy shoes. Tour guide did a great job making sure we had plenty of time at each stop, while keeping us on time without feeling rushed. I plan to come back to Cape Town and book my entire trip with them because my experience was so wonderful. They made everything so easy and took the stress of planning away from me. Cant wait to be back in a few months!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your beautiful message! It was an absolute joy showing you and your mother around Cape Town—what a special way to spend your birthday! I’m truly honored to have been part of such a memorable experience for you. I’m so glad you felt safe, relaxed, and taken care of throughout the day. Your kind words mean a lot, and I’m thrilled you loved the views, the history, and of course—those candid photos! I’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back in a few months and helping you create even more unforgettable memories. Until then, take care and happy travels!

Awesome experience in Cape Town

This was an amazing tour. The personalized experience is truly what made this one of the best tours I’ve been on. Tingo is very knowledgeable about the area and entertaining! He went above and beyond to make the tour fun. He covered all of the areas we wanted do see but did so at our pace so we could enjoy the sites and not feel rushed through stops. I can’t wait to return to explore more areas of South Africa with Santacruise Tours!

Operator response

Breathtaking views and awesome guide!

This tour is a must do! Tingo was a fabulous guide, ensuring that I took in every sight and understood the history of what I was experiencing. The views we were breathtaking!

Operator response

Was amazed you managed the hiking trails in the Chapman's Peak and the stairs up to the light house. Beautiful views always indeed at any given season.

Cape point day

We were collected by our driver Sungani promptly and set off from Camps bay for a full on 8 hr day . He started by explaining the day’s itinerary very clearly- Chapmans peak, Cape Point and Boulders beach followed by Muizenberg beach area We had a lovely coffee stop before we reached Cape point . He pointed out interesting things to us, gave us background information on the areas we drove through . We stopped briefly by an ostrich farm and saw a Baboon at Cape point . Boulders Beach was a favourite of our group of 6 and Sungani altered the day slightly to allow my daughter in law a quick swim there . We had a late lunch at Simon’s town which was very welcome indeed I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Sungani

Operator response

Am happy Sungani made your visit exciting.. Cape Point is one of our must do tours, loaded with endless beautiful scenery and number of wildlife.. baboons might sound like obvious to see, but sometimes becomes scarce, so you really have to be happy for the sighting. Thanks Susan. Please recommend us to other travelers in future
