We leave the city and travel south passing interesting places, the Cape Town University top campus, The State Presidents residence all along under the back-bone of the Table Mountain range. We pass exclusive suburbs and wine areas. Our first stop is above Muizenberg Beach. Come and find out what the Shark Spotters do and what Guinness World Record is held from here.

Kalk Bay to Simons Town

We continue along the lovely Boyes Drive, through the fishing and arty community of Kalk Bay. You could spend a whole day in Kalk Bay. All along the coast to the naval suburb of Simons Town. Here you meet a famous dog and hear his fascinating story. You see all the naval icons and the beautiful old architecture of the buildings and churches. We visit the cutest penguins in their black and white suits. Then we continue along the coat with a quick stop at Smidtswinkel.

Cape Point Nature Reserve

Depending on the weather the the tides what we do first or last in the Cape Point Nature reserve. We have 3 hours and it is your choice of what you want to do. We will climb to the top of the Light house to see the views from up there. At the half way point is a very interesting gift shop with good history of all the ship wrecks. We will go to the Cape of Good Hope point which is where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Then we can either take a walk on the wild side to see amazing sea-pool life under the water (you do not have to swim). This is a great opportunity to stretch the legs and have a bit of fresh air. Or we can take one of the side drives to the sea and look for more animals. The animals likely to see int eh park are: baboons, ostriches, dassie (Rock Hyrax), tortoises, eland, lizards, zebra and other antelope. The flora in the park is the heart of the Fynbos Kingdom. You will see restios, protea, paper flowers, pin cushions and a host of other flora. What will be flowering depends on the time of the year. We need to leave by 12:30.

Lunch

We have a choice of 3 venues depending on diets. We will during the morning decide which would be the most suitable to all concerned. All are within 30 mins of the entrance of the park. Then we continue to try to hug the coast as much as possible.

Noordhoek Farm Village

We stop for the best desert in the place. It is your choice. As we leave Noordhoek we will see Llama before we stop at a lookout point to look over the very long Noordhoek beach which is rather beautiful. Then w e proceed onto the most scenic drive int he whole of the Western Cape with very sheer cliffs and drops on either side. We look at the measures taken to ensure our safety along the drive. We stop at the top again for a chance to take photos of both sides of Chapmans Peak drive. We look out over towards Hout Bay and the Sentinel guarding the entrance to Hout Bay.

Hout Bay Harbour

Weather dependent and time dependent if the boats are still running we take a boat ride out to Seal Island. It is about 10 mins each way. Here we hover between two islands filled with seals. You get a really close up view of the seals even diving under the boat.

Atlantic Seaboard

We continue along the coast on the other side of the back bone of the Table Mountain range. Along and under the 12 Apostles back towards the City Centre and your hotel. We might be lucky enough to catch a glorious sunset on the way.
