A Cape Peninsula Tour with a Returning Guest from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🌊🐧

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of hosting a Cape Peninsula tour for a returning guest from the Netherlands and a friend — which always makes the experience even more special.

There’s something different about showing someone around when they’ve already experienced it before. It becomes less about ticking boxes and more about enjoying the moments along the way.

A Smooth Start at Boulders Beach 🐧

We started a bit later than usual, but surprisingly, there wasn’t much of a queue at Boulders Beach — which made for a relaxed and easy start to the day.

The African penguins are always a highlight, and it’s one of those places that never gets old, no matter how many times you visit.

Cape Point Adventures 🏔️

At Cape Point, we encountered some traffic at the entrance, but it was still very manageable.

We spotted a few baboons along the way — always an exciting sight — and this time we decided to take the funicular up to the lighthouse for a change. Instead of taking it back down, we walked, which gave us the chance to take in the views properly.

From Ostriches to Kalk Bay 🦩🌊

After Cape Point, we made our way to the Cape Point Ostrich Farm — a stop my guest specifically requested after enjoying it on a previous tour.

We fed the ostriches, had a good laugh, and kept things light and fun before heading to Kalk Bay.

Kalk Bay always brings a completely different energy — vibrant, relaxed, and full of character. My guests grabbed something to eat, explored the town, and visited the harbour to see the sea lions.

The Perfect Ending via Chapman’s Peak 🌄

To finish the day, we drove back via Chapman’s Peak Drive, stopping along the way to take in the views.

It’s always the perfect way to end a Cape Peninsula tour — slowing things down, enjoying the scenery, and reflecting on the day.

Final Thoughts

This tour had a bit of everything:

• Wildlife encounters

• Iconic viewpoints

• Relaxed coastal towns

• And plenty of great moments along the way

Thank you to my returning guest and his friend for another awesome day out 🙏🏻
