About this experience
Our tour begins with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburbs of Camps Bay with its glorious views of the Twelve Apostles, part of the Table Mountain range. We’ll continue to the fishing village of Hout Bay, one of Cape Town’s best-kept secrets. Here there is an option to take a short boat trip to Seal Island to view the Cape Fur Seals, which inhabit the island. From here we travel to the Cape Point Nature Reserve home of indigenous fauna and flora. Here we can see a variety of wildlife that includes baboons, Reebok, Cape Mountain zebra, bontebok and the elusive eland. The reserve is also one of the world’s largest breeding grounds for tortoises. Birdwatchers, too, will find many fine species to observe.

Cape Point Nature Reserve
Walk or take the funicular (at your own cost, approx. R40–R60) up to South Africa’s oldest lighthouse for a 360-degree view of the national park. There are three ways to reach the top. Along the coastline, a paved path with stone staircases offers the most scenic views. From the car park, a paved route leads all the way up with a steady but manageable climb. For a quicker option, the Flying Dutchman funicular reaches the viewpoint in just three minutes for a small fee, offering a convenient alternative to walking.

Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope is often referred to as the corner of Africa, where the cold Atlantic and warm Indian Oceans meet. It is, however, the most south-westerly point of the African continent. The area offers scenic hiking trails to the summit, making it ideal for both adventure and sightseeing. Another popular attraction is the Cape of Good Hope sign, where visitors often queue to take photos. It is said that “if there is no queue, there is no hope.”

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cape Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Cape Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour?
+
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 Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cape Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cape Point Cape of Good Hope and African Penguins Full Day Tour 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 Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. 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.
