3-Day Private Cape Town Highlights: Table Mountain, Robben Island & Cape Point
See Cape Town’s essentials in three tightly scheduled days: Robben Island history, Table Mountain panoramas, Cape Point cliffs and penguins at Boulders Beach. This private tour pairs skip-the-line logistics with local stories and coastal drives.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book Robben Island early
Robben Island ferries sell out; confirm your slot and bring your passport for boarding.
Layer for wind and sun
Coastal wind and alpine sun on Table Mountain mean a windproof shell plus sun protection.
Sea conditions matter
Seal Island boat trips are weather-dependent — if seas are rough the operator will cancel for safety.
Respect wildlife and boardwalks
Stay on designated paths at Boulders Beach to protect nesting penguins and dune vegetation.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Chapman’s Peak viewpoint at sunrise for dramatic coastal light

Conservation Note
Stick to boardwalks and follow guide instructions to protect penguin colonies and fragile dune vegetation; local reserves run conservation programs that depend on visitor compliance.
Robben Island served as a political prison during apartheid and Table Mountain is part of an ancient sandstone plateau shaped over millions of years.
