Meals: Breakfast and picnic lunch
After enjoying breakfast we will set off for a full day of sightseeing focused on the magnificent Cape Peninsula!
Camps Bay is a wealthy coastal suburb located just ten minutes from the city bowl. Set on the slopes of Table Mountain, it overlooks a series of beautiful sandy bays and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Camps Bay is home to Cape Town’s most glamorous beach.
Hout Bay’s active harbor serves a variety of fishing boats, charter boats and yachts. It is also the departure point for boat trips to the nearby Seal Island, home to a colony of around 6 000 Cape Fur Seals. The bustling port area also has a well-known seafood restaurant and a shop selling fresh fish.
Chapman’s Peak Drive winds its way between Noordhoek and Hout Bay. Situated on the Atlantic Coast, at the south-western tip of South Africa, it is one of the most spectacular marine drives anywhere in the world. The 9km route, with its 114 curves, skirts the rocky coastline of Chapman's Peak. The drive offers stunning 180° views with many areas along the route where you can stop and take in the scenery or sit down for a relaxing picnic.
Cape Point Nature Reserve is a breathtaking coastal sanctuary located at the southwestern tip of the Cape Peninsula. Offering awe-inspiring vistas of rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and diverse flora and fauna, it is ideal for nature lovers to explore scenic hiking trails and spot wildlife.
Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents and large waves - but please always take care. It is a rare pleasure to swim with the penguins but don't touch or feed them. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose.
Set on the scenic coast of False Bay, Kalk Bay is a charming seaside village adorned with a fisherman's harbour and a vibrant Main Road lined with quaint shops that offer unique treasures and local crafts. The village boasts a diverse culinary scene, with its restaurants serving delectable seafood dishes and other culinary delights. Overlooking the bay, visitors can enjoy breathtaking sea views and explore the mysterious Boomslang Caves, adding an adventurous touch to this picturesque coastal gem.
This evening we will have some leisure time to explore Cape Town and have dinner at leisure.
