Full Day Cape Peninsula Tour

The tour begins with a ferry trip across the bay to Robben Island (weather permitting). From the 17th to the 20th centuries, the island served as a place of banishment, isolation, and imprisonment. Today, it is a World Heritage Site and museum, offering a poignant reminder of the price paid for freedom. The excursion includes a return ferry, a bus tour of the island, and a visit to the prison, where visitors can reflect on the lives of those who were incarcerated, including Nelson Mandela.

Back on the mainland, enjoy a quick lunch (to own account) before embarking on a journey through Cape Town, passing iconic landmarks such as the Castle of Good Hope, built by the Dutch East India Company and the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa, the Houses of Parliament, and the Grand Parade with City Hall, where Nelson Mandela first addressed South Africans following his release in February 1990.

Continue to the Company Gardens, a serene heritage site established in the 1650s by early European settlers. Originally supplying fresh produce to ships rounding the Cape, the gardens now provide a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.

Next, head to Table Mountain National Park to begin your Table Mountain tour. Admire sweeping panoramic views over the city, the Atlantic Seaboard, and Robben Island, as you explore this world-renowned landmark that has become a symbol of Cape Town culture.

After descending, return to the city and explore the vibrant Bo-Kaap neighbourhood. Stroll through its colourful streets, capture memorable photos, and perhaps sample authentic Cape Malay treats.

The tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of Cape Town’s history, culture, and scenic beauty.
