About this experience
Discover the Cape Peninsula on a small-group tour designed to combine Cape Town’s spectacular coastal scenery, wildlife and iconic landmarks in one full day. Travel along the Atlantic Seaboard and Chapman’s Peak Drive before exploring the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, with time to visit the African penguins at Boulders Beach. The small-group format offers a more personal experience than a large coach tour, with a knowledgeable local guide, carefully planned stops and opportunities for photographs along the way. An optional boat trip from Hout Bay to see the Cape fur seal colony may be available, subject to weather and operating conditions. From dramatic mountain and ocean views to the penguins of Simon’s Town, the experience brings together some of the Cape Peninsula’s most memorable highlights in a single day.

Capetown experience
Everything went perfectly, from pickup to drop-off. I learned so much about the history of Capetown. Tafa made history interesting!

A successful day! 🙂
We booked the tour at the end of November. Our guide Lieven was just great. The day was really beautiful, we could see so much and experienced a lot. Would book it again any time. Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope, Baboons, Penguins, beaches... Everything was there. Top!

Great individual day tour
Thanks Liefen for the great day at the Cape of Good Hope, with the penguins and all individual photo stops. Liefen is a very good motorist, who has brought us safely now and then back. The tour is highly recommended.

Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope & Boulders 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 & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1250 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 & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour 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 Point, Cape of Good Hope & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 & Boulders 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 & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope & Boulders Penguins Full-Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Point, Cape of Good Hope & Boulders 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.
