On this full-day tour you move with that light—from the city’s steep streets to the cable car that lifts you above fynbos-sprinkled cliffs, then down the spine of the Cape Peninsula where ocean swell meets wind-cut rock. By midday the penguins at Boulders Beach are waddling between boulders, indifferent to the human procession, while the Atlantic and Indian oceans quarrel at the Cape of Good Hope.
