Full-Day Cape Peninsula Tour — Cape Point, Boulders Penguins & Constantia Wine
Drive one of the world’s most scenic coastal roads, see African penguins up close, stand at Africa’s southwest tip, and finish with a Constantia tasting. This private full‑day tour balances wildlife viewing, coastal panoramas and vineyard calm in a single 8‑hour loop.
The Experience
Before You Go
Layer up for cape weather
Temperatures and wind change quickly along the peninsula—bring a warm, windproof jacket even on sunny days.
Carry ID for tastings
Most wine and beer tastings require age verification; bring a passport or driver's license.
Respect penguin zones
Use the boardwalks at Boulders Beach and keep at least a few meters from birds to avoid disturbing them.
Start early to beat traffic
Leaving early reduces time in peak-season congestion on Chapman’s Peak and gives better light for photos.

Conservation Note
Table Mountain National Park and local reserves manage strict boardwalks and protections for penguins and fynbos; visitors should stay on paths and avoid feeding wildlife to limit human impact.
The Cape Peninsula has maritime history from Dutch replenishment stations in the 1600s to early 20th‑century lighthouses; Cape Point’s navigational lights recorded the age of sail and steam.
