What you'll see and do
District Six
District Six is a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1966, the apartheid government announced that the area would be razed and rebuilt as a "whites only" neighborhood. Over the course of a decade, over 60,000 of its inhabitants were forcibly removed and in 1970 the area was renamed Zonnebloem, a name that makes reference to an 18th century colonial farm. At the time of the proclamation, 56% of the district’s property was White-owned, 26% Mixed race-owned and 18% Indian-owned. Most of the residents were mixed race and they were resettled in the Cape Flats. The vision of a new white neighborhood was not realized and the land remained barren and unoccupied. The original area of District Six is now partly divided between the suburbs of Walmer Estate, Zonnebloem, and Lower Vrede, while the rest is generally undeveloped land.

The Only Tour You’ll Want to Take for Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Beach
The tour I took with Ian for Cape of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Beach was absolutely exceptional. If you’re looking for a good tour guide for these places and more stop along the way then Ian is your guy! You aren’t just sight seeing the beautiful places of South Africa, you are learning with the wealth of knowledge that Ian posses. South Africa is Ian’s home and he is proud to show you and tell you with historical facts about the locations as they relate to historical events that have taken place here in South Africa. Ian takes the time to take photos too and supports recording the making of memories as visitors here. Be prepared to learn words and phrases in Afrikaans as well, one of my favorite personalized parts of the tour, making it immersive and fun. Thank you Ian! I hope to be back in South Africa with my entire family next time and we will know who to call for all of our tour needs! Thank you so much!
Response from the operator: Hi Teresa Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the Cape Point, Boulders Beach, and Cape of Good Hope tour 🙏 It was a pleasure sharing the stories, history, and a few Afrikaans words with you along the way. Those penguins at Boulders always steal the show, and I’m happy I could help capture some memories for you too 📸 South Africa really is home, so it means a lot to hear you felt the pride and stories behind each stop. Please do bring the whole family next time - I’d love to show them around as well! Thank you again for choosing to tour with us.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $1950 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 of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach?
+
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 of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach?
+
Around 0 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape of Good Hope Cape Point and Boulders Penguins Beach 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.
