Full Day Table Mountain, Cape Point & Winelands Tour — Cape Town Highlights
A single day that stitches Cape Town’s skyline, sea cliffs and vineyards into one route: Table Mountain views, Cape Point drama and a penguin colony at Boulders Beach. Practical notes on tickets, timing and what to pack for a busy coastal day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Buy Table Mountain cable car tickets ahead
Cable car seats are limited and weather can close operations—reserve online for your tour date to avoid disappointment.
Bring layers and windproof outerwear
Atlantic winds are strong on the plateau and at Cape Point; a warm shell keeps you comfortable during exposed viewpoints.
Respect wildlife distances
Observe African penguins at Boulders Beach from boardwalks and keep food stowed—don’t attempt to touch or feed animals.
Carry a reusable water bottle and snacks
Stops include short walks but limited time for food; having water and a snack keeps energy up between stops.
