Day 2

place Cape Peninsula Adventure

This morning after your breakfast, you will go on your Cape Peninsula Adventure, including entry fees and a wild picnic! The aim of the day is to explore the highlights of the Cape Peninsula in a unique way off the beaten path, looking for any excuse to embrace the ocean and explore one of the most unique marine habitats in the world. At the start of this day, we head to Kalk Bay to explore the working fishing harbour, meet the seals and have a go at throwing a fishing line over the harbour wall, all while meeting the friendly local fishermen. From here, we head to Simon’s Town where we will find our own rogue Penguins on a lesser known beach only accessible to the locals. Weather permitting and If you're feeling brave we’ll snorkel in swimming pool sized rock pools, paddle our SUP'S, or Kayak and get a unique perspective of the Penguins. In the Peninsula reserve we’ll be on the hunt for the Cape 5 (Ostrich, Baboons, Mountain Zebra, Bontebok and Tortoise), and at Cape Point we will also spend our time exploring the beaches and shipwrecks for lost treasure. Along the way, we will find a secluded scenic spot to enjoy a delicious gourmet picnic in a beautiful setting. Wind the afternoon down with a visit to the local Noordhoek Farm Village where you can all enjoy a delicious artisanal ice cream at Kristen's Kick Ass Ice Cream, before heading back towards the city centre along the most scenic drive of all: Chapman's Peak - taking in the vast Atlantic Ocean as the sun starts to set.
