“Full-day private adventure: snorkel with Cape fur seals at Hout Bay, then tour the Cape Peninsula — Chapman's Peak, Cape Point, and penguins.
About This Experience
Start your day with an incredible wildlife encounter — snorkeling alongside playful Cape fur seals in the kelp forests of Hout Bay. Trained guides ensure your safety as curious seals swim around you, blowing bubbles and showing off their acrobatic underwater moves. After drying off, continue along the spectacular Chapman's Peak Drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Visit Cape Point's dramatic cliffs and the historic lighthouse, then walk on the beach with the penguins at Boulders Beach. Your private vehicle ensures a relaxed, personalised schedule.
