Your tour starts at your door at 9am sharp. Pack your sunshades and a jumper for a day sure to delight. We'll drive straight to Muizenberg where you can look over False Bay and learn how the British landed there to retake the colony at the end of the 18th century - you might just spot a shark or perhaps a whale cruising in the bay.
Then on to Kalk Bay and a drive along the coastline to Simonstown, which was once a British naval base; and on to visit the African Penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
Following the stunning coastline, we proceed to the Cape Point Reserve and the lightouse above the Cape Of Good Hope, where you can see the southern tip of the peninsula disappear into the oceans. There's wildlife to be seen, the most likley of which will be the chacma baboons which live on the peninsula.

Then following the Atlantic, we continue over spectacular Chapman's Peak drive and on to Hout Bay, where we stop for lunch ... and you get a chance to browse the old fishing harbour and say hello to the seals, which might be about.
As the sun begins to dip over the Atlantic, we'll follow the 12 Apostles, with Lions Head appearing in the distance, as we make our way back to the city.
