Clifton & Camps Bay
Situated along the Atlantic Seaboard, the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay have been awarded Blue Flag status, offering pristine white sand and beautiful, clear waters that make them highly popular summer attractions for both locals and tourists. Admire the friendly atmosphere of the Camps Bay Strip, filled with bustling restaurants and bars, the Bay Hotel, crisp ocean views, white sand, palm trees, and occasional street entertainment.
Hout Bay & Seal Island Boat Trip
The small fishing village of Hout Bay is often jokingly referred to as the “Republic of Hout Bay” by Cape Town locals, as it feels like an entirely separate town. A beautiful beach, delicious fresh seafood, the Bay Harbour Market with affordable crafts for gift and souvenir lovers, and plenty of restaurants make this suburb a must-visit on any Cape tour.
You will also have the option to admire the thousands of seals that inhabit Seal Island. Enjoy the world-renowned 9 km scenic drive of Chapman’s Peak, also known as “Chappies”, featuring 114 curves nestled between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. This drive offers lookout points, picnic spots, and unforgettable views. You may even be lucky enough to spot whales or dolphins along the way.

Cape Point
Visit one of South Africa’s most admired sightseeing and tourist attractions. This spectacular nature reserve is one of Cape Town’s most famous landmarks—and for good reason. Situated at the very tip of the peninsula, the area spans rugged cliffs, unique fauna and flora, and vast open spaces.
See over 250 species of birdlife, as well as baboons, buck, and the Cape Mountain zebra. Explore the Cape of Good Hope, a world-renowned landmark, and monuments honouring two of the world’s most famous explorers, Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias, who discovered Cape Point in 1488. No Cape Town tour is complete without a visit to Cape Point.

Penguin Colony & Simon’s Town
A trip to Boulders Beach is one you will never forget—one of the only places in the world where you can swim alongside penguins. The colony has grown rapidly to over 3,000 penguins, from just two breeding Jackass penguins that arrived from Dyer Island near Gansbaai.
Simon’s Town, the seat of the South African Navy, offers a charming coastal atmosphere and rich history. Here you’ll find a thriving harbour, the Warrior Toy Museum, and the South African Navy Museum. View frigates and submarines docked at the Naval Base harbour from a distance.
(30 minutes – optional)
Please note: A small conservation fee of R245 per adult applies to visit and interact with the penguins.
Kalk Bay
The quirky seaside village of Kalk Bay runs along the Main Road, with the False Bay coastline on one side and the mountain on the other. Along the Main Road, you’ll find a host of treasure troves—from antique and costume shops to cobbled streets, vintage bookstores, bakeries, the famous Brass Bell restaurant, and much more. The area is also excellent for whale watching during whale season (June to November).
