Whatever you do when you are in Cape Town, at least reserve one day to see the Peninsula! Start on the Muizenberg side in the morning and let the sun, rising on the False Bay side, follow you the entire day until it sets on the Atlantic Seaboard side.

Muizenberg: Take Boyes Drive for a view from above over False Bay and Muizenberg. Spot surfers trying to control the waves, and absorb all of the surrounding beauty. In the surrounding hills you find deep caverns and caves with a labyrinth of passages and chambers that will bedazzle you.

Kalk Bay: Close to Muizenberg you find Kalk Bay, a delightful fishing village. At 13:00 hr, watch the fishermen offload their bright painted boats. If you want, you can buy your supper here. Trust us: Fish can't be fresher than this!

Boulders Beach: This park in Simon's Town is part of the Cape Peninsula National Park, and is home to more than 3000 African penguins. Apart from spotting these flightless birds from a boardwalk, you have the opportunity to swim where they swim. A unique experience!

Cape Point & Cape of Good Hope: From Boulders Beach you head off for Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope and the surrounding nature reserve. Apart from the two highlights, Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope, one should really take the time to explore the Nature Reserve.

Here one can walk for miles and miles, have a dip in the ocean, walk along the pristine beaches and even spot local wildlife. Baboons for instance, hyraxes or dassies and several buck species.

Scarborough: This is a quaint seaside village, where peace and tranquility over rule everything. Apart from the beauty of the surroundings, there is more to do.

Noordhoek's never ending beach: Drive to Noordhoek, which is famous for its neverending beaches. Have a walk on the beach or even better, go for a horseback ride! Like sanboarding in Scarborough.

Chapman's Peak Drive: One thing you should not forget while exploring the Peninsula is Chapman's Peak Drive. This 9 km drive between Noordhoek and Hout Bay offers you some of the most spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline.

So get into your car and cruise along Chapman's Peak Drive! Treat yourself with breathtaking views over the Ocean and Mount Sentinel. And whatever you do: Do not forget your camera!

Hout Bay: Experience a wonderful scenic with Drumbeat Charters cruise from Hout Bay harbour to Seal Island, and view thousands of Cape Fur seals from up-close in their natural habitat. The cruise, takes you to shipwrecks and along the Atlantic coast around the Sentinel Mountain near Hout Bay.
 
A glass of wine on Llandudno Beach: End the day on ther Peninsula with a glass of wine on the beach of Llandudno, one of the poshest beaches of Cape Town. Watch the sun slip into the Altantic and think back of everything you have seen and done.
