Cape Point

We had a great day trip around the cape, loved the national park and the penguins and the views were amazing. Ray was a fabulous guide and gave us lots of really interesting information.

You don’t have to pay for...

You don’t have to pay for the penguin walk. We saw lots of penguins close up. We weren’t as close to the water, but we saw lots of activity and saved $60. US

It’s a full on day!

This tour has excellent inclusions in the price paid (VIP option means all admission tickets are taken care of except for the boat trip to see the seals). Lina was an engaging guide and Leon a great driver. If there’s a negative, it’s the lunch stop. It was about 2 hours as the service at the restaurant was slow and I would rate my meal as average, though others were happy with theirs. II would have preferred to grab a snack and explore some of Simon’s Town. Perhaps that could be suggested as an option.

Highly recommended tour

Amazing trip which covers everything in the peninsula. Mireille was great, funny, cooperative and we learned a lot from her. Our driver Benny was funny, nice, cool and punctual. Amazing trip and highly recommended 👍💯

Very nice excursion to the Cape

A great day trip with many impressions of the magnificent landscape and the nice people of South Africa. Our guide Ray was very conscientious, friendly, and was able to explain everything in very easy-to-understand English.
