Cape Peninsula Day Tour Cape Point Penguins and Chapman's Peak

9 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

We run the Peninsula in a 13-seater minibus with a registered local guide who lives in Cape Town, not a 60-seat coach. Small groups mean we reach Hout Bay and Boulders ahead of the crowds, and there is time to walk and look rather than just photograph from the roadside. You choose between a seat on the shared departure or the whole vehicle to yourselves.
