Bring refillable water and snacks
Full-day outings with short stops mean you’ll appreciate a refillable bottle and snacks between scheduled breaks.
Respect wildlife viewing rules
At Boulders Beach and Cape Point, stay on designated paths, don’t feed animals, and keep a respectful distance from penguins and seals.
Time optional activities
If you want a Seal Island boat trip or wine tasting, reserve ahead or inform your guide to fit it into the day’s schedule.

Conservation Note
Table Mountain National Park manages sensitive habitats along the peninsula; stay on paths, avoid single-use plastics and follow wildlife viewing rules to minimize impact.
This coastline shaped early global sea routes; the Cape of Good Hope was renamed after early maritime trials and the area reflects a blend of indigenous Khoi, colonial and Cape Malay cultural influences.
