On the Cape Peninsula day

The best bits? They’re yours to remember.

Two travellers at a lookout on Chapman’s Peak Drive, with Hout Bay, its harbour and the Sentinel behind them. On a private day your group sets the pace, so there’s time for the photo stops, and your guide knows which lookouts are worth pulling over for.

02The bits between the big sights

The big sights are great. The bits in between? Even better.

Between the famous stops are the moments people keep: a row of beach huts, a selfie above the bay, a thumbs-up from the guide on a mountain lookout, a sign at the edge of a continent. All of them photographed on our own days out.

For the stories you’ll tell twice.

Fancy something with a little more adrenaline? Quad bikes on the dunes, a tandem skydive with the Cape below you, a shark cage dive off Gansbaai. Each runs with a safety briefing and depends on the weather and the season, so tell us your dates and we’ll help you work out what fits your Cape Town days.

Beyond the scenery

Good views. Better pours.

Take the scenic route through the Cape Winelands, where mountain views, beautiful estates and long lunches are all part of the appeal: wine and cheese at Fairview, then La Motte, Franschhoek and Lanzerac. Tastings and lunch are optional and paid on the day, so you choose what to taste and where to eat.
