Cape of Good Hope & Penguins Full-Day Tour

Experience the very best of the Cape Peninsula on this unforgettable full-day guided tour from Cape Town. Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by a scenic drive along the world-famous Chapman's Peak Drive — one of the most breathtaking coastal roads on Earth, with dramatic cliff-side views plunging into the turquoise Atlantic Ocean.

Your first stop is the charming fishing village of Hout Bay, nestled between mountains and sea. Continue along the coast to the legendary Cape of Good Hope, the most south-western point of the African continent, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge in a dramatic meeting of waters. Stand at the iconic signpost and take in the raw, untamed beauty of this UNESCO-protected landscape.

Next, take the funicular or walk to the Cape Point Lighthouse for panoramic views across False Bay. Then head to Simon's Town to visit the beloved African penguin colony at Boulders Beach — watch these charming creatures waddle along the pristine white sand just metres away.

On the return journey, stop at the iconic colourful beach huts of Muizenberg, a favourite photo opportunity. Your guide shares fascinating stories about the history, ecology, and culture of the Cape throughout the journey.

This is our #1 best-selling tour — and once you experience it, you'll understand why thousands of travellers rate it 5 stars on GetYourGuide and Viator.
