3-Day Cape Town Highlights Tour — Table Mountain, Cape Point & Robben Island
Three days of Cape Town’s most memorable landscapes — Table Mountain, Cape Point, Robben Island and the Winelands — blended into a guided small-group route. Expect coastal drives, short summit walks, penguin encounters and wine-tasting stops, with logistics handled and time-sensitive sites prebooked.
The Experience

Layer for Wind and Sun
Cape weather swings: breathable layers plus a wind shell keep you comfortable from the plateau to the shore.
Bring Refillable Water
Days include active walks and wine tastings — carry 1–2 L water and hydrate between vineyards.

At Boulders Beach use boardwalks and stay the recommended distance from penguins to protect the colony.
