CAPE OF GOOD HOPE PENINSULA
Cape Of Good Hope, originally named the ‘Cape of Storms’ by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, lies at the tip of the Cape Peninsula and is steeped with history and beauty. It is located 60 km south of Cape Town and falls within the Table Mountain National Park, which is included in the Cape Floral Kingdom World Heritage Site.
Come with us on this magnificent full day tour in which we journey through the Cape Peninsula to really experience this historic location. This was how the Cape looked 400 years ago, with pristine fynbos, unspoilt beaches and indigenous mammals, birds and reptiles. On top of that are incredible views of the Cape Point cliff faces, Cape Of Good Hope and the two oceans.
