Take a Trip Around the Peninsula

A trip around the peninsula usually involves the thrill of driving along the breathtaking Chapmans Peak drive.

The village of Hout Bay is a destination if you're driving north, if south, then it's a start. Good place to pick up any fish, cooked, fresh or smoked.

Hout Bay is also the home of the World of Birds and the Hout Bay Harbour.

Over Kloof nek and along the ridge to signal hill above Cape Town gets you to the spot with the most magnificent view of Table Mountain, Tygerberg and Cape Town. Robin Island too.

For a spectacular drive, go south from Simon's Town to Cape Point Nature Reserve. The 7750 ha reserve is home to over 1000 species of indigenous plants, 11 of which are endemic, making it one of the richest concentrations of flora in the world. At the southern tip of the reserve is the dramatic promontory which divides the Indian and Atlantic oceans. A funicular railway takes sightseers to the most spectacular viewsite of the point.

The Cape of Good Hope Ocean Cruise Charter uses a high speed luxury catamaran for a 90 minute round the Point trip from Simon's Town. This is the ultimate way to explore the notorious Cape of Storms.
