The Experience
Before You Go
Layer for coastal weather
Wind and sun alternate quickly along the peninsula; pack a light windproof jacket and a sun layer you can shed.
Respect penguin habitat
At Boulders Beach, keep a safe distance and follow your guide’s instructions to avoid stressing nesting penguins.
Bring small cash for markets
Small purchases help local entrepreneurs directly — carry small bills or a card where accepted.
Start early for quieter views
Leaving in the morning avoids mid-day crowds at Cape Point and gives better photographic light along Chapman’s Peak Drive.
