Highlights

If you want to see the must-see spots but also some un-touristy spots then this is for YOU. No day is the same and no animal stays in the same place, so why stick to a pre-determined itinerary?


Let the day's adventure unfold based on real-time animal sightings and the day's conditions.


Connect with, and intimately understand, one of the most productive oceans in the world whilst meeting the locals - African penguins and humpback whales, anemones & sea stars, baboons & bontebok.


Take a breather from the rigours of travel as we slow things down, tasting the best tea & rusks in all of Cape Town (on a sheltered & secluded shoreline, far from the crowds!) Bring a swim suit if you dare...


Next up, lunch is served at a local deli - leaving you healthy, light & very full (well priced).


Your adventure will end where it began - a skip and a jump from wine estates, beaches, and the Cape Town city centre - avoiding traffic and queues everywhere you go!

Itinerary

  • RockHopper Tours

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    We meet early at this charming bakery and farm stall nestled into the Constantia winelands. The local coffee and fresh-baked croissants are worth the early wake up, plus its 20minutes drive or taxi from the city centre. *There is free, safe, public parking at the deli.*
  • Old Cape Point Lighthouse

    40 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    Visit the iconic Cape Point lighthouse before the buses. Take a stroll or catch the funicular (R70) to take in the 360 degree views over both the cold and warm sides of the Cape of Good Hope. Entrance fee to the Cape of Good Hope is R376 per person for foreign travellers - cash is not accepted so please bring a debit/credit card to make payment.
  • Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
