Private day tour to the Cape of Good Hope
Description
A day trip to the legendary Cape of Good Hope is a must for every stay in Cape Town. On the way there, the gorgeous panoramic road "Chapman's Peak" offers wonderful views of the bay. Seafaring stories make the trip entertaining. The highlight on the way back is the cute penguins from Boulders Beach.

Itinerary
The fantastic view from Signal Hill is ideal for a first introduction to the history of Cape Town.
We continue to the 12 Apostles, a nice series of 12 mountain peaks that form the background for the exclusive beach town of Camps Bay. Here the rich and beautiful reside in sinfully expensive villas with sea views.
The spectacular panoramic road "Chapman´s Peak Drive" was carved into the mountain in seven years of work and enables fantastic views.
From Chapman's Peak Drive we have a fantastic view of the white, gently sloping beach of Noordhoek. If desired, we can stop here for a photo.
We reach Cape Point National Park late in the morning. In addition to baboons and bouquets, animal residents are springboks and eland. The park also offers an insight into the uniqueness of the Fynbos landscape.
To the lighthouse, the symbol of the Cape Point, there is a quaint cable railway, which is called the "Flying Dutchman". Alternatively, a 20-minute hiking trail leads up. When the weather is good, you can have a picnic on a secluded beach in the national park at lunchtime. A bistro serves sandwiches to take away. There is also an excellent restaurant next to the cable car, which spoils guests with local specialties - the seafood platter with fresh lobster is a constant hit.
A photo in front of the famous sign, which shows the most south-western tip of Africa, is an integral part of the tour.
We leave the park and head for the African penguins at Boulders Beach. The cute animals often behave clumsily on land, but are master swimmers and great entertainers.
On the way back are the colorful beach houses of St. James, which are also worth a photo.
If there is still time, we stop by the seals in the port of Kalk Bay and enjoy fishing boats and the port atmosphere.

We had a wonderful day with Sabine. She picked us up at the cruise terminal. First we went up to Table Mountain and then towards the Cape of Good Hope. With stops at the beach houses of St.James, at Boulders Beach with the penguins. At the cape itself we took the famous photo and took the funicular to the lighthouse with a gigantic view. Over Chapman's Peak we went along the coast to the 12 Apostles and then back to Cape Town. Here we drove another lap through the Bo Kaap neighborhood. Sabine took us safely from place to place and told us a lot about country and people. In the best weather we had a fantastic day in and around Cape Town.
Hallo Diana! Vielen Dank, dass Du Dir die Zeit genommen hast, ein Feedback abzugeben. Freu mich sehr darüber! Ihr hattet wirklich Traumwetter & schön, dass ich meinen Teil zum Gelingen des Tages beitragen konnte. Viele Grüße
Picked up at the airport, first driven up Signal Hill, drove to the Cape and the penguins. Everything worked out!
Vielen Dank für Dein positives Feedback. Wir sind happy, wenn unsere Kunden happy sind. Beste Grüße aus Kapstadt.
We were traveling with two adults and a 16 year old. Already in advance from Germany, we had a great contact with Sabine, who answered us all questions about the tour very quickly. The tour itself was organized and conducted by Sabine mega. No time pressure, no time stress. No matter what stop we made, we could watch everything in peace and enjoy. Sabine explained a lot on the way (in German😍), but definitely not annoying, as is the case with bus tours. There was definitely no getting out of the car, fast, fast. Just fantastic and indeed unique how this day went with Sabine. Indescribable what we could see on this tour from 09:00 to 18:00. Water on board and yes, even time for a snack was also given. That's all you need. A big compliment to Sabine and people we tell you...... book with Sabine and you will be thrilled.
Vielen Dank für Euer tolles Feedback! Es freut mich sehr, dass ihr einen schönen Tag hattet. So soll es sein. Hoffentlich habt ihr noch lange etwas von Euren Urlaubserinnerungen. Viele Grüße!
We had 2 tours with Sabine. Once Cape Town with Table Mountain BO-KAAP, City Park...and much more. (Group) The 2. Tour was to the Cape of Good Hope and the Penguins (private). It was incredibly beautiful and very relaxed. You always felt safe and there was no boredom. Despite sometimes long distances, one could not escape the amazement. Sabine is very social, makes her tours attractive and flexible . You can also express your wishes and here too, a lot is made possible. We had 2 incredibly great days and when we come back, just with Sabine. Thank you very much , a merry Christmas and happy birthday. Best regards Silvia and Wolfgang
Hallo Silvia und Wolfgang! Wow! Es freut mich sehr, dass Ihr zwei schöne Tage hattet. Vielen Dank auch, dass Ihr Euch die Zeit genommen habt, ein Feedback zu hinterlassen. Ich zeige Euch beim nächsten Mal gern mehr ;-) Viele Grüße, Sabine
We had the opportunity to experience two tours with Sabine, we were with her at the Cape of Good Hope as well as in the wine-growing regions. We can recommend both tours without restriction. We really enjoyed the trips with Sabine, she was able to show us the beauty of her adopted country and gave us a lot of information. We will keep these tours in fond memory. Should we ever travel to Cape Town again, we will certainly contact them.
Vielen Dank für Euer positives Feedback! Es war super mit Euch! Gerne wieder melden, wenn Ihr noch einmal herkommt. Herzliche Grüße!
We four girlfriends had two very nice trips with Sabine . Sabine picked us up at our accommodation and then we went on tour. Sabine told us a lot about Cape Town and South Africa during the trip and led us to beautiful spots. It gave us a lot of pleasure to ride with Sabine. Also their specially rented large car was very comfortable for us and made travelling a pleasure. Sabine also responded to spontaneous requests. We can only highly recommend Sabine and would book her again at any time 🫶. It gave us great pleasure to explore Cape Town with Sabine.

We had booked several trips with Sabine and had a great and fun time. She went to great lengths to show us the city/surrounding area. You are welcome to book several tours and get the all-round Cape Town experience. Thank you Sabine! Allez Allez 😉
Hallo Nina, vielen herzlichen Dank für die netten Zeilen. Genau richtig: Für das Rundum-Kapstadterlebnis empfehlen sich mehrere Touren :-) Solltet Ihr noch einmal herkommen, zeig ich Euch gern weitere schöne Ecken. Viele Grüße!

We had a very nice day with Sabine. She can tell a lot about the country & people and responds individually to the wishes of her guests. Thanks to her experience (she drove so that we were always there in front of the big coaches) we saw everything we wanted to see. We are always happy to book again when we come to Cape Town.
