About This Experience
This is our most popular tour — and for good reason. With over 1,192 five-star reviews, this full-day small-group adventure packs Cape Town's absolute highlights into 10 unforgettable hours. Begin with a ride on the revolving Table Mountain Aerial Cableway for 360-degree panoramic views stretching across the Atlantic. Descend and cruise along the coast through Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles. Arrive at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and hike (or take the funicular) to the old lighthouse at Cape Point for breathtaking cliff-edge views. Stand at the famous Cape of Good Hope signpost — the most south-westerly point of the African continent. Then head to Simon's Town, where the lovable African penguins of Boulders Beach waddle just metres from you. Your expert local guide shares hidden stories, recommends lunch spots in Kalk Bay, and ensures every moment is seamless. Small groups mean big experiences — maximum 12 guests, guaranteed window seats, and all the time you need at each stop.
