Cape Town Zipline, Penguins & Cape of Good Hope Private Tour with Chapman's Peak
Select participants and date
You step into the passenger seat of a private vehicle as Cape Town slides by — Table Mountain a flat-backed guardian to the north, ocean light shivering on False Bay to the south. The day begins with the small, intimate thrum of a 4x4 climbing above the Constantia Winelands; vines give way to fynbos and the first zipline platform hovers over a slope that seems to fall away into the city.

Adventure Tips
Start Early to Beat Crowds
Pickup is around 8:30am — mornings are cooler on the zipline and quieter at Boulders Beach for better penguin viewing.
Wear Grippy, Closed-Toe Shoes
You’ll walk on uneven trail sections at the zipline and boardwalks at Boulders; sturdy shoes improve comfort and safety.
Layer for Wind and Sun
Coastal weather shifts quickly — bring a windproof layer and a hat to handle sun and gusts on exposed cliffs.
Respect Wildlife Distance
Keep cameras on a zoom and avoid feeding penguins or approaching baboons; guide instructions help minimize disturbance.
