What you'll see and do
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is the most iconic landmark of South Africa. It is also the country’s most photographed attraction and its famous cable car took millions of people to its top. Table Mountain has become the single most welcoming icon to not only our people, but travellers from all over the world. But this mountain hides many surprises that wait to be discovered. It is much more than a scenic photograph background or a place from where you can take a breathtaking photo of Cape Town.

Touring Table Mountain, Cape Point, and Boulders Penguin Colony
We wanted a tour that included both Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope. This was the only tour that included both, plus a visit to Boulders Penguin Colony. We were picked up at the cruise terminal and taken directly to Table Mountain. Because we arrived before the busses, we were able to quickly board the cable car (we had purchased tickets online the night before) and enjoy the spectacular sights from the top of the mountain. When we were ready to leave, we were able to quickly board the next cable car down. After getting off the cable car at the bottom, we observed a very long line of people waiting to go up, thankful that we had arrived early. After a drive through Cape Town, we next headed to Cape Point via Chapman Highway, stopping along the way at a small fishing village and an observation point on the highway to take pictures. Our next stop was Cape of Good Hope which appears to be home to families of wild Ostriches. Our next stop was Cape Point where we went up to the lighthouse for a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside and ocean. On the return to Cape Town, we stopped at the penguin colony at Boulders and Foxy Beaches. Our driver, Wisdom, was very knowledgeable, conscientious, and responsible at all times. He pointed out things that we would have missed, but for his observations. It is important to note that the van we rode in appeared to be new and very well-maintained. Even with heavy traffic, we felt safe at all times with both Wisdom and the vehicle. This was one of the best tours/excursions that we have ever taken. It was a day well spent!

a wonderful experience
I booked this tour last minute (the evening before) and it was my first time using the app. I was impressed with the clear communication with the tour company. My driver/guide (Wiseman) was waiting for me (10 minutes early!) and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I felt very safe and comfortable and very much enjoyed my day. I was pleased to see that all my entry tickets for the 3 sites I visited were included. I only had one day after my work trip to see some of South Africa and I had a very positive experience. I was so impressed with this app for booking and my tour experience!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony cost?
+
Prices start at $1110 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 Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony 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 Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony?
+
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 Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony 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 Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private: Table Mountain, Cape Point and Penguin Colony 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.
