From the Cape Point lighthouse, we can take a peak through the telescope and explore the rest of the lighthouse. This is the official meeting point of the Two Ocean Currents: Cold Benguela and the Warm Agulhas currents. Lunch options at Cape Point are the Two Oceans Restaurant for a fresh seafood sit down lunch, or grab a takeaway from the informal eatery.
  • Boulders Beach Penguin Colony - Departing from Cape Point, we will make our way along the coast to Boulders Penguins Colony, where we will view approximately 2500 African penguins frolicking on the beach. These enchanting sea creatures love to wander off the beach and you may find them striding next to you on the boardwalk.
  • St. James Beach - An optional stop at St. James beach will give you the opportunity to take a photo with the colourful beach huts. These beach huts are traditionally used as changing rooms for sunbathers and swimmers, and make for a colourful photo.

Cape of Good Hope Tour with Ray! - I recently took a tour of the Cape of Good Hope, and it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Ray, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to everyone in the group. He shared fascinating insights about the area's history and nearby attractions, making the trip both educational and enjoyable. The scenery was breathtaking, and Ray ensured we had plenty of opportunities to take it all in. I highly recommend this tour and Ray as a guide for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Cape.

Incredible trip during high season! - We had an incredible time Ray during our trip around the Cape. He was able to help us navigate a heavy tourist season by starting at the Penguins colony and working our way back to Cape Town - it seriously probably saved us over 1.5 hours sitting in toll gates. He was great about adapting the tour - including taking us to a winery during lunch as it was close by. We would 15/10 recommend this tour and Ray as your guide.
