Once you reach the summit, your guide will highlight many features of Cape Town and point out various landmarks. They will also enhance your knowledge of the fauna and flora found on Table Mountain by providing information about the various fynbos species. After descending Table Mountain, some time is spent exploring the famous V&A Waterfront before guests are assisted with check-in at the hotel.
This day of your Cape Town tour focuses on Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. The tour is a scenic delight, with some of the most impressive coastal roads in South Africa carved into steep mountainsides high above the Atlantic Ocean.
The lighthouse at Cape Point was originally built in 1859 at the highest point—249m above sea level. The old lighthouse was, however, replaced after a great shipping disaster, with the new one built 87m above sea level. The visit to Cape Point is followed by a short visit to Boulders Beach, where we observe the antics of a colony of penguins before returning to Cape Town in the late afternoon.
After breakfast, we travel to Spier and enjoy an hour-long estate tour on a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle. This vehicle offers a great way of traversing the vineyards and enjoying sweeping views of the beautiful surroundings. Some time is devoted to sampling fine wines produced on this estate, established in 1692. You will also enjoy an interactive wine introduction to winemaking in South Africa.
A trip to Cape Town International or any other location of your choice in and around Cape Town follows, where a short but memorable tour of Cape Town and its surrounding area ends.
