About this experience
We will enjoy views of spectacular landscapes, rugged mountain ranges and gently sloping hills of wheat and canola fields that look a bit like mid-ocean swell waves. We stop above Sir Lowry’s pass for a photo opportunity and striking sights of False Bay lying below. Our expedition continues through the beautiful green, gold and brown citrus orchards of the overberg, stopping at a Farm stall for some refreshments. We proceed with our trip through Caledon, the seventh oldest town in South Africa, agricultural hub of the Overberg area and known for the iron-rich hot springs. Our tour will lead us to The Cape Agulhas Lighthouse that has stood for over 150 years as a maritime chaperone over the notorious 'Cape of Storms', at the most southern tip of Africa. This official meeting point of the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean is also the point of convergence of the Mozambique and Benguela currents. We'll also visit the Shipwreck museum in Bredasdorp and the African penguins at Stony Point

The light house was there alright
Picked up my A5 cabriolet at Audi Claremont and turned left...South African term for started my holiday...the drive over was nice and long upon arriving there the peace after the long drive was worth gold, seein how those waves crushed the boulders with force reminded me of how there will be no where to run to... there is a small interesting town there and nothing, not worth paying R7k, get a car and enjoy the drive

Bestride the Atlantic and Indian oceans at the tip of Africa.
The true tip of Africa, not Cape Point, is well worth a visit and tastefully marked. A good place to propose as we saw one young couple become engaged across the two oceans! There are well marked trails in the area with some great sea views and a local lighthouse. A must visit if in the area. Not crazy hordes of coaches and tourists as at Cape Point (at least when we visited with a U3a group).
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your delightful experience! We are thrilled to hear that you found the southernmost tip of Africa to be a memorable and beautifully marked destination. The image of a young couple getting engaged with the two oceans as a backdrop sounds truly enchanting! We wholeheartedly agree that it is a must-visit gem in the area, offering a more intimate and authentic experience away from the crowds often found at Cape Point. Your visit is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable moments in the future!

Elton - the rockstar
Elton is a treasure trove of South African history and more importantlu a delight to talk to. During our long drive out to Cape Agulhas, he helped us explore all the small towns and histories related to it. This gave us a view into the SA countryside. He was very courteous of our various requests to stop at photo points. A must tour if you want to have a frank and easygoing conversation with an amazing human being (and obviously the southern most point of the continent xD)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that Elton provided you with such a enriching experience during your journey to Cape Agulhas. Our team takes great pride in offering more than just a tour - we strive to create meaningful connections and provide insight into the rich history and culture of South Africa. Elton's dedication to ensuring your comfort and enjoyment, along with his engaging personality, truly makes for an unforgettable experience. Exploring the small towns and capturing moments at photo points along the way adds an extra layer of charm to your adventure. We couldn't agree more that a tour with us is a unique and special experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences in the future!

Wonderful experience
I had an amazing time during the tour, Elton was very knowledgeable and told me a lot of interesting facts about South Africa. The cape Aghulhas was great, impressive to see the two oceans side by side and the penguins were very cute. On the way back, elton went out of his way and drove along the coastline of false bay, wonderful view and wasn’t part of the tour initially, so very grateful for that experience. Would recommend that tour in addition to cape of good hope.
Response from the operator: Hello Desiree, Thank you for sharing your positive experience on the Cape Agulhas tour! I'm glad to hear that Elton provided you with a great experience and that you learned a lot about South Africa. It sounds like you got to see some amazing sights, from the cape Aghulhas and the penguins, to the unexpected but beautiful coastline of false bay. I'm thrilled to hear that you would recommend this tour to others, and I hope that you'll have the opportunity to explore more of South Africa in the future. Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve cost?
+
Prices start at $7850 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Agulhas | Stony Point Nature Reserve start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town, Table Mountain, Boulders Penguins and Cape point Day Tour, Wine Tour: Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch incl 3 wineries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
