You step out of the van at Maidens Cove and the ocean unrolls—white surf, villas clinging to the slopes of the Twelve Apostles, and Lion's Head sketching the skyline. The tour moves at a brisk, photographic pace: Chapman's Peak's cliff-hugging ribbon of road, a short boardwalk through Boulders Beach where African penguins shuffle and preen, then the wind-whipped promontory of Cape Point with both oceans visible on a clear day.
