Cape Point

No tour of the peninsula is complete without a visit to its spectacular southwestern tip, Cape Point. An hour's drive from the city centre this Natural World Heritage Site in the Table Mountain National Park is home to an abundance of fynbos species, a troop of baboons, various buck and at least 250 species of birds, including ostriches and penguins.

Explore the wild coastline with its clean white beaches, hike the cliff hugging trails high above the sea and climb to the top of the point (or take the funicular) for one of the Cape's Peninsula's defining views... then wash it all with down with a meal at the famous Two Oceans Restaurant.

Allow yourself a full day for this trip as the drive there and back on either side of the peninsula is full of beautiful sights and sounds of the Cape, making the journey as much fun as the destination itself. A stop-off at the penguin colony at Boulders Beach is a must, as is the boat trip to Duiker Island from Hout Bay.
