Day 1: Cape Town

Welcome to Cape Town, one of the world’s most beautiful cities! On arrival you will be met and transferred to your hotel. In the afternoon you will join other passengers on an afternoon city tour which includes the Table Mountain (weather permitting and cable car at own cost), the historic city centre as well as a drive to Bloubergstrand just north of the city centre, where you are afforded wonderful views back towards Cape Town and Table Mountain.

Day 2: Cape Town

Breakfast at your hotel. You will be collected from your hotel for a full day Cape Point tour with an English-speaking guide and other guests. This tour takes you past Hout Bay, where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a boat cruise to a seal colony, aptly called Seal Island (at additional cost). From Hout Bay the tour continues along the spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive and further towards Kommetjie and Scarborough, until you enter the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Here at Cape Point you can witness the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Heading back you first stop at Boulder’s Beach, most famous for its penguin colony (entrance not included) and then on to have lunch at a seafood restaurant (lunch at own cost). We finish the afternoon with a visit at the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

Day 3: Cape Town

Breakfast at your hotel and day at leisure. Suggested activities – visit the V&A Waterfront with its many shops, restaurants and pubs. It is also the departure point for boat trips to Robben Island, the island most famous for being a prison island and its most famous prisoner Nelson Mandela, who spent most of his 27 years in jail here. Today the place is a World Heritage Site and a museum. It is advisable to pre-book your tour to Robben Island – speak to your hotel’s concierge or travel desk on arrival to book the trip for you. Also well worth a visit at the V&A Waterfront is the Two Oceans Aquarium which has received great recognition as being one of the best aquariums in the world.
