Half Day Cape Point Sightseeing Tour With Penguins From Cape Town

It's exciting, especially with a knowledgeable tour guide like we had. He took time to explain to us the key attractions.

Seeing two penguins walking down the street! The guide (Wellington) was excellent. Knowledgable and friendly

You get a guide than you get Mukhtar. From set go he A Amazing. Some guides just read off their manual scripts but not Mukhtar you can hear how informative he was he left out no detail. He answered all our questions. At every stop the history that he give us was impressive. If you guys have a jewel or rather me use a rare diamond it's Mukhtar May. Until now we speak about this amazing gentleman. He has left a ever fix mark in our hearts. I would recommend him any day. He was brilliant I tell you brilliant. Well done Mukhtar you are truly a unique individual and your knowledge of Cape Town is nothing but remarkable..God bless you and may you grow from strength to strength

<p>Sally was an excellent tour guide , full of information ,relaxed took the group to Cape of Good Hope which was not part of the tour ,fun to be with highly recommended five star treatment</p>

<p>Our guide Ashely was great. We had 5 other guests in the van plus the two of us. We were the first guests picked up at 8am and dropped off last at 1.45pm. The half day tour is too quick. You do not get a chance to get out and view or photograph much. It was mainly driving and looking through the window. When you get to the Cape of Good Hope - it's so crowded. The group ended up skipping the penguins as 3 from the van had to be back at 1.30pm for a Township Tour. The tour was rushed. Ashely was great and very friendly. His commentary was spot on. He apologized for not seeing the penguins - but again due to timing and also the group decided not to try to see them, all good. Try and offer a full day, with coffee breaks, light lunch and more getting out of the car. This tour would suit those who prefer seeing all from the window.</p>

<p>Overall a good experience. Driver was experienced and knew his facts. Its a lot of driving for the sights you see along the way, but it's understandable. The driver was cranky at times, not as friendly as you might Hope. Overall we had a good time and we are glad we took the tour.</p>

<p>It was wonderful though it was a rainy very cold day but the beautiful drive made up for it</p>

<p>The half day tour was splendid, magnificent view. If you have time stay more. We highly recommend this tour and the tour operator. Our driver is great and patient with us.</p>

<p>this was a fantastic trip made so interesting by out superb guide Desmond</p>

<p>Quick tour but complete. The landscape is amazing. Our guide was very cheerful.</p>

<p>Guide very good but disappointed with Cape of Good Hope, not sure what I was expecting but it was an anti climax. Great not to have to drive though and the scenery was beautiful.Cape Point better. Boulder penguins too commercialised preferred Betty's Bay.</p>

<p>It's not the tour's fault - a half-day just isn't enough time to actually see everything. Basically in this half-day tour you drive for a bit then run in, take a picture and leave. Repeat that about 10 times and there's your day. Take the full-day tour instead!!! If you are traveling to Cape Town then these spots are a must see, just give yourself enough time to actually enjoy it.</p> <p>The tour itself was good. They picked me up on-time, I felt very safe important since I was traveling alone, and the driver/guide was very nice. The company was great about changing the date of my tour last minute my shark cage diving had to be changed due to the weather and so all of my other tours had to be moved around. This tour is great value for the money.</p>

<p>We were able to see all main points and the driver was outstanding</p>

<p>Excellent trip to the Cape and Boulder Beach. Guide called Super was very good and plenty of time to see the sights. Would recommend</p>

<p>We covered a lot of ground in 4.5 hours. Jonathon was a well informed and entertaining guide.</p>

<p>The Guide was very flexible about different parts of the tour and changed them to fit our wishes. He gave us very much information about the places we visted. I highly recommend this tour.</p>

<p>Prompt pick up, excellent guide. Had a wonderful time seeing the Cape Point sights.</p>

<p>Mostly driving tour, but otherwise a great tour. Great scenic views, baboons, and penguins. Recommend if want to see the sights on a condensed tour, but if you want more time to yourself and more walking the full day tour is probably better for you.</p>

<p>Great trip. Driver gave the right amount of commentary and interesting facts. Beautiful scenery.</p>

<p>This was a short 4-hour tour, but very enjoyable despite its short duration. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, and keen to answer any question. It actually is more like a road trip, with two nice stops: the penguins colony and Cape point. It really was what I was looking for!</p>

<p>I really enjoyed this tour, I was collected on time by Leonard,who was a most entertaining and informative tour guide. The scenery on the way to Cape Point was magnificent, with time for a photo stop, and a visit to the Boulders Penguin Park. I was wanting to visit Cape Point in particular and was not disappointed with the scenery. Leonard was also obliging and dropped me at Sahara Park Newlands, so I could continue onto the cricket. I would travel with this company again.</p>

<p>A very interesting excursion with spectacular scenery. We went early so missed the rush. Our guide, Maxwell, kept us to to a sensible schedule. Overall a very enjoyable morning.</p> <p>Jeff and Judy, Perth</p>

<p>Short and sweet...good way to see some of Cape Town's highlights when you are short on time. Our guide Friso was good.</p>

<p>Lovely drive, lovely landscaping and great informative and jovial guide. Weather was grand as well.<br/> Worth the time to go to the "point" and even though a half day was enough. Very satisfied and was able to enjoy other activities that day as well.</p>

<p>On a previous visit the weather was great until I got to the point where we could see nothing.The weather had closed in. This time it was fantastic. It all opened up before me. It is a must to behold. The buity and history of the are. Thank you Viator.<br/> Colin Perth Australia</p>

<p>We had a great tour with our guide who's name is Super just like Superman. He was very knowledgeable and did excellent job of driving and explaining all the details along wth way. The Cape is incredible along with the penguins, ostrichs, and baboons. The Cape light house is a great tour and as scenic as it gets. Thanks Super for a great day and also for dropping us off at the Green Market in town.</p>

<p>This tour was more like 3/4th of a day. Well worth it for the price. It was perfectly timed for all the must see places in Capetown and the guide stopped in places we requested to take lots of pictures. If you don't have a full day to spare, then this is the tour to take.</p>

<p>This was a good tour and I'm glad we went, but it really is barely doable as a half day. We were delayed about an hour leaving Cape Town because of no shows at several hotels (not the driver's fault--he couldn't find the people with confirmed reservations and even went back to a hotel a second time to look for them). The driver add time on the back end--we didn't get back to our hotel until after 2:00 p.m. Having said that, please note that about 2/3 of the tour is driving. We only had about 20 minutes in the Cape Point area--not enough time to get up to the lighthouse. We had about the same amount of time to see the penguins. If you just can't spend the time on the full-day tour, definitely take this tour, but be prepared for a lot of driving and not much time to walk around. Also, the tour was conducted with a minibus (no restroom)--a full size bus would have been more comfortable. Driver was knowledgeable and tried hard to please.</p>

<p>With only a half day to spare, this trip ticked all our boxes. We saw the penguins at Boulder Beach, the Cape of Good Hope and travelled along the picturesque Chapmans Drive. The driver also helpfully dropped us off in a different part of Cape Town for a late lunch.</p>

<p>Loved the tour Only thing was they were an hour late picking us up as a firm called African Eagle had taken the booking from Springbok Atlas. We were told to be ready for 8am but then were sent a message to say it would be 850am and when the coach had not arrived by 9 am our reception rang the firm and they said they were on their way. Although it was a mini bus and was a bit rushed as it was a long way we did enjoy it. Our driver was good and funny.</p>

<p>Great tour, nice time out of Cape Town, awesome scenery and our guide David was very friendly, detailed explanation about everything we saw and fun to be with</p>

<p>If you have a full day take the longer, full day tour. But if you are like us and only have a half day this is a great tour. Our tour guide was exceptional from the pick up at the hotel to the return.</p>

<p>This trip was excellent. Just the right length of time for our purpose. Driver very informative, even put in an extra stop for us. Timing was superb, car very clean. All in all a very good experience, and the Penguins were fabulous.</p>

<p>Wonderful trip amazing views and the best of what cape town has to offers.</p>

<p>This excursion has not been effected for my guilt, and kind those of the Springbok Atlas have offered me a tour in substitution that I have very appreciated</p>

<p>I thought the itinerary was great, but I was disappointed with the tour guide. Although he was nice and tried to point out interesting facts, I found his English to be incredibly difficult to understand and not completely fluent. While I understand he tried to give us as much time as possible, my husband and I both felt a bit carsick on the ride back. We felt safe, but the speed and swerving traffic were a bit too much for us. Itinerary was awesome. Could have done without the ostrich farm stop.</p>

<p>Great trip with an imformative guide. Picked up promptly at 8 returned about 2pm.</p>

Great way to see Cape Town in a short time. We didn't see any baboons but were warned profusely about them. Our tour guide took us to a particular beach in Simonstown to see the penguins where we didn't have to pay an entrance fee. The scenic drive was absolutely stunning. Great quick tour!

A must see for everyone. Not our first time. Nice drive and scenery.

This trip could not have been better. The weather was fantastic, and the views to die for, around every turn another jaw dropping sight. Wonderful, the penguins were also amazing.

Very good and interesting half-day trip to the Cape Point and to the Cape of Good Hope. We also had an opportunity to go and take a look at Jackass penguins near Simon's Town. We also saw ostriches and baboons on the way there. The tour guide was excellent and kept a great presentation of South-African history and culture throughout the whole drive to the destinations.

Our guide was great!! She gave us much knowledge and took care of us very much. I am also satisfied with the content of the tour, too.

The tour started on time, I saw the Cape of Good Hope. I saw the place where 2 oceans merged. We visited the big colony of the Penguins. We drove between some of the beautiful neighborhoods, and also saw the beauty of the landscape.

This was very nice & was a nice drive along the beach with splendid scenery. A good way to explore outside the city of Cape town.

Absolutely terrific. The guide was both friendly and most professional.

Knowledgeable guide and personalized service made for a fantastic experience.

<p>Apesar de muito corrido foi um passeio incrível. A passagem pela ilha dos pinguins é indispensável porque a paisagem é linda e eles são muito dóceis. Ao chegar em cape point você pode subir as escadarias à pé ou através de um bonde. Se subir de bonde irá otimizar o seu tempo que é de apenas 30 minutos, mas eu optei por subir à pé e, apesar de muito cansativo, não me arrependo. A vista da paisagem é de tirar o fôlego. Faria tudo outra vez.</p>
