The area is part of what South Africans called the French Riviera.
We will drive South towards the suburb of Hout Bay which the local residents nicknamed the Republic of Hout Bay due to its being alone location geographically surrounded by mountains and Oceans, Hout Bay shares no direct borders with any of the cape town suburbs. The drive to Hout Bay from Maiden Cove is spectacular as we pass through Bakove, Twelve apostles, L'landudnho, etc.., The main tourist attraction at the harbor, is around 45 minutes boat trip to the seal island where thousands of cape fur seals have made a permanent home.

I am Francine umutoni of Rwandan nationality, this month with my French friend we took advantage once again of visiting South Africa to see African penguins. So we took the vehicle with the company driver (Safari PrivateTours) he takes us to see The Penguins at Cape point penguins& Table mountain .I was moved to see them on the spot ,because before I watched on television ,it was the first time so impressive!!! Well then we began to meet the history of penguins and their life in general (their fecundity and protection).In short as the interesting story, penguins appeared first around New Zealand and Antarctica probably at the end of the Cretaceous when the dinazides disappeared about 65 million years, also the penguins are younger, would date about 2 to 4 million years then it is believed that it came from Antarctica at one time the air conditioner was cooled.Other larger penguins also lived in southern Africa, we discovered the fossils in langebaanweng near the bay of saldhna in any case we were so happy to listen to this story ❤❤❤ of animoux
Penguins ,Cape Point ,and Table Mountain it was wonderful tour , the view for all 3 places are beautiful. To visit those places it very important, i recommend to any one who need to enjoy wine tasting, I recommend Stellenbosch wine tasting and Frranschoek wine tasting
it was a pleasure to see the happiness of kids after visiting the penguins at Boulder's beach. we had a wonderful day at cape of good hope
You cruise in style all Cape Town's most memorable points of interest. Ou guide, John made everything possible to provide a wonderful experience.
Just wonderful! Thank you! Very private and able to adjust to weather permitting outings. Brilliant service!
Mr. Callixte was our guide and took us around in a luxurious BMW 520 D making us feel so special. He is very professional, courteous and punctual. We got to see all the places to our hearts content.Mr.Callixte made stops at very good viewing spots and we took lovely pictures for happy memories. At the Hout's Bay, we went on a 45 minute boat trip to Seal Island ( Duiker Island) and were rewarded with a rare sighting of an Elephant Seal among the fur seals. The drive through Chapman's Peak is picturesque We got to see ostriches and elands at the Cape of Good Hope. We took the Dutchman Funicular to and from the lighthouse at Capepoint as it saved us time and energy. The penguins at Boulder's Beach are adorable and the views from Table Mountain, one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, are breathtaking. We got to make a quick stop at Muizenberg beach and take pictures of the iconic coloured beach huts as well.as a quick stop at Bo Kaap for good photos. But be prudent with time spent at places as distances travelled is a lot in a single day and it takes up a lot of your time.
Dear Shabala M. Thank you for your very comprehensive review. The Cape Peninsula tour is truly spectacular, from Table Moutain to the Southwesterly tip of Africa. The breathtaking coastal drive with a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Western Mountain of the Cape Peninsula on the other side. And what a great way to experience that in a comfortable private vehicle. Thank you so much, we hope to host you again on your next visit.
