Cape Peninsula Private Changemaker Tour — Cape Point, Boulders Beach & Local Tastings
A full-day private tour across the Cape Peninsula that pairs dramatic coastal scenery—Chapman's Peak, Cape Point and Boulders Beach—with three hands-on visits to local changemakers. Expect panoramic viewpoints, close-up penguin encounters, and meaningful social-impact experiences.
The Experience
Before You Go
Layer for coastal wind
The peninsula is windy and temperatures shift quickly; bring a windproof layer even in summer.
Wear grippy shoes
Routes include short rocky walks and beach sand—sturdy shoes make viewing and quick hikes safer and more comfortable.
Bring sun protection and water
Long stretches in open sun and reflective ocean light mean sunscreen, hat and a refillable bottle are practical necessities.
Respect wildlife boundaries
At Boulders Beach follow posted paths and keep a respectful distance from penguins; never feed or touch animals.
