Our tour starts at your accommodation and takes us along the Atlantic Seaboard, passing Clifton, Camps Bay and Llandudno before descending to Hout Bay. We then drive along Chapman's Peak Drive (one of the world's great ocean drives) onwards through Noordhoek, Kommetjie, and Scarborough to Cape Point Nature Reserve. There are many photo opportunities along the way.
At Cape Point you can choose to take the hike up the steep cliff path to the old lighthouse or the Funicular Railway to enjoy the magnificent cliff-side scenery and ocean views.
Guests can enjoy lunch at the Two Oceans Restaurant before driving, or hiking, to the Cape of Good Hope, the most South Western point of Africa.
Our return trip to the Cape Town will include a drive along the False Bay coast passing through Simonstown (home of the African penguin), Fish Hoek, and the coastal villages of Kalk Bay, St James and Muizenberg.
We often reverse the direction to take account of the time of the year and weather.
