More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the minibus into the first cool gust that comes down from Table Mountain and instantly understand why Cape Town’s topography commands attention. The guide points up: a flat-topped ridge sliced by wind, its shrouded head changing moods in minutes. Over the next ten hours the coastline will take turns showing its faces — surf-beaten cliffs along Chapman's Peak, the gravelly hush before the Cape of Good Hope sign, and the comic waddle of African penguins at Boulders Beach.

Weather at Table Mountain
Table Mountain is often windy and the cable car can close without notice; bring a warm windproof layer and check the operator’s status before you go.
Penguin viewing etiquette
Stay on the boardwalks at Boulders Beach—do not attempt to touch or feed penguins and keep a respectful distance to avoid stressing the colony.
Footwear and terrain
Wear sturdy walking shoes for uneven boardwalks and the short Cape Point hike; sandals are fine for Muizenberg and beach stops but not for rocky viewpoints.
Bring small change
Extras like the Flying Dutchman funicular, souvenirs, or lunch at Two Oceans Restaurant may require card or cash—carry a small amount of both.
Windproof jacket
Protects against sudden winds on Table Mountain and exposed Cape Point viewpoints.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes handle boardwalks, gravel paths and short hikes to viewpoints.
Refillable water bottle
Stay hydrated during a long day of sightseeing—water bottles are provided on board but refills are handy.
