3-Day Cape Town Highlights Tour: Table Mountain, Cape Point, Robben Island & Winelands
Select participants and date
On a wind-scrubbed morning in Cape Town the tour van eases out of the city, the Atlantic on one flank and the flat summit of Table Mountain on the other. Guides move with practiced calm—routing the days so light and logistics align—while passengers rub sleep from their eyes and watch the coastline unspool: Camps Bay’s white sand, the sculpted drop of Chapman's Peak, and the distant glimmer of False Bay.

Adventure Tips
Pack layers and wind protection
Cape Town’s weather shifts quickly—bring a windproof jacket and layerable clothing for coastal cliffs and mountain tops.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Long days of walking and wine tastings mean staying hydrated; bottled water is provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste.
Wear sturdy walking shoes
Expect boardwalks, stairs and short hikes at Cape Point and Boulders Beach—trail shoes or hikers are best.
Book camera gear thoughtfully
A wide-angle for Table Mountain and a 70–200mm for wildlife and vineyard detail will cover most photo opportunities.
Local Insights
Wildlife

History
Robben Island’s prison history and the Castle of Good Hope reflect Cape Town’s colonial and apartheid-era chapters; the Winelands trace horticultural use back to the 1600s.
Conservation
Cape Point and Table Mountain protect fynbos, a biodiversity hotspot—stick to paths and follow park guidelines; Boulders Beach penguins are a conservation focus, so keep distance and avoid feeding wildlife.
