The tour opens in Bo-Kaap, where the guide provides historical context on this former Malay Quarter neighbourhood. The route then follows the Atlantic seaboard through the wind-sheltered suburb of Bantry Bay, past the four Clifton beaches, and into Camps Bay, widely considered the most scenic coastal suburb in Cape Town.

Driving south, guests pass the Twelve Apostles mountain range before descending into Hout Bay, a self-contained coastal town surrounded on all sides by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. A 40-minute boat trip from the harbour visits Duiker Island and its resident colony of Cape fur seals.

The tour continues along Chapman's Peak Drive, one of the most celebrated coastal roads in the world, before arriving at Noordhoek Farm Village. A stop at The Village Roast Company offers time for coffee before the final approach to the national park.

Inside the 7,700-hectare reserve, guests can hike or take the funicular to Cape Point Lighthouse, the third oldest in South Africa. The Cape of Good Hope itself provides the opportunity to photograph the famous welcome sign and take in the convergence of rugged coastline, wildlife, and oceanic history.

On the False Bay side of the peninsula, Boulders Beach hosts one of Africa's three mainland African penguin colonies. The adjacent Victorian town of Simon's Town is home to the South African Navy and a selection of seafood restaurants.

Kalk Bay, voted one of the world's coolest places to live, offers art galleries, cafes, and views of southern right whales from the shoreline. Muizenberg Beach provides the final photo stop with its famous row of colourful changing huts before the return to Cape Town.
