What you'll see and do
Table Mountain Aerial Cableway
We usually start with Cape Town's iconic mountain. Ascending it and enjoying the unrivalled view from the top of mountain, sea and city is a lifetime memory. It is however weather dependent and so will have to be bypassed for later in the day or even another day should the cableway be closed because of wind or cloud visibility.

Camps Bay
Travelling along the coast southwards we encounter the fashionable sea front of Camps Bay, South Africa's Cannes or Nice you might say. Expensive open top sports vehicles are numerous outside the streetside cafes and many of Cape Towns top restaurants and hotels are here. You will also go along a stretch of "billionaires mile" where magnificent villas ascend the steeply sloping coast in stepping stone fashion. The road is sometimes right on the seas edge, villas left and sea scape to the right
Pass by without stopping
Hout Bay
The fishing village and port of Hout Bay lies on where the road southwards attractively curves around a bay and ascends a cliff where later you can stop and take in the view of its picturesque location. From here, weather permitting you can take a short boat trip to small rocky island to see some of the huge numbers of seals that inhabit local waters. If you wish our guide can time this trip so you can have the freshest fish lunch caught that very day. The local delicacy is called Snoek and is high in all those omega oils that your body needs but there is also white fish and shellfish and mussels.

From Hout Bay the road curves up and around Chapmans Peak Drive. The road ascends the steep edge of the coast to a view point at the top giving a magnificent view of Hout Bay harbour with its yachts and fishing boats and the heavily populated Seal Island at it mouth and the back of Table Mountain. This is where we make our first stop to stretch your legs, breath in some mountain and sea air and take some pictures of one of the world's most beautiful stretches of coastline

Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early.

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?
+
