Private Day Tours in Cape Town: Table Mountain, Penguins & Winelands
Select participants and date
The day begins with city air on your face and a view that refuses to stay distant: Table Mountain’s flat crown cuts the sky as the driver eases away from the harbor and into neighborhoods that shift from Victorian facades to brightly painted Bo-Kaap terraces. On a private tour through Cape Town, the city unspools at your pace — a ribbon of coastal road, a ferry horn in the distance, vineyards that slope like green staircases toward the horizon.

Adventure Tips
Book Robben Island Early
If you want the Robben Island ferry included, reserve that option at booking—ferry slots sell out on busy days.
Dress in Layers
The Cape can be breezy even in summer; bring a windproof jacket for coastal viewpoints and cooler heights on Table Mountain.
Sun Protection
Even on overcast days UV is strong near the ocean—wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for vineyard lunches and beach stops.
Limit Wine Stops
For a relaxed Winelands experience choose two cellar visits so you can taste without rushing and enjoy lunch at a winery.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- African penguins at Boulders Beach
- Cape cormorants and seals around Hout Bay and Seal Island (boat option)
History
Robben Island, accessible by ferry, was a penal colony where Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid leaders were imprisoned; Bo‑Kaap preserves Cape Malay heritage with centuries-old Muslim and culinary traditions.
Conservation
Cape ecosystems are fragile—stick to boardwalks at Boulders, avoid feeding wildlife, and choose operators that support local reserve fees and responsible waste practices.
