You step into the cable car queue beneath Table Mountain with the Atlantic wind already pushing toward the summit, and five minutes later the city shrinks into a scatter of roofs and harbor cranes. At 1,067 meters the plateau opens like a broad deck; the ocean leans in from both sides, the harbor a pale scar in the land. This full-day Peninsula Tour strings together those rooftop views with a coastal road that seems to dare you to look away—Chapman's Peak—then climbs to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, ending with the granite bowls and incongruously tame African penguins at Boulders Beach.
