More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A brisk Atlantic breeze meets the city as your tour van pulls away from the curb — the ocean hurries you toward Camps Bay while Table Mountain watches like a low, flat roof above the skyline. In a single day you move from open-air markets and cobbled streets to the broad plateau of Table Mountain, where fynbos brushes the cliff edges and the cable car rotates you into a 360-degree view of city and sea.
