Every full-day Cape Point tour promises the same highlights: the Cape of Good Hope, the lighthouse at Cape Point and the African penguins at Boulders Beach. Where they differ is in the details that decide how your day feels: hotel pickup or a set boarding stop, a minibus or the top deck of a double-decker, the Chapman’s Peak toll covered or not, and a day of 8, 9 or 10 hours.
One thing does not differ: on every group tour below, the park entry fees are paid separately at the gates. For international visitors that means R592 per adult for the Cape of Good Hope section and R282 for Boulders Beach, so R874 per adult on top of the tour, by card only (SANParks conservation fees, valid from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027). The tour titles do not show it; the cards and the table below spell it out for each tour.
We checked every tour on this page on its product page on 29 September 2026. Visit Cape Point is an independent guide, not the official Cape Point or SANParks website.

Cape Point lies in the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park, and Boulders Beach is a separate paid area of the same park. Both are run by South African National Parks (SANParks), and both charge a daily conservation fee at the gate. On every group tour on this page, those fees are yours to pay on the day:
| International visitors | Adult | Child |
|---|---|---|
| Cape of Good Hope section (with Cape Point) | R592 | R288 |
| Boulders Beach penguin colony | R282 | R138 |
| Both gates together | R874 | R426 |
SANParks conservation fees for international visitors, valid from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. SANParks adjusts its fees every year on 1 November; for a trip from November 2027 onwards, check the current rates on sanparks.org. More in our guide to the entrance fees.
Three details are worth knowing before you go. The gates are cashless, so bring a bank card for both gates. The private Gray Line tour still quotes older gate rates on its product page; the current SANParks rates are the ones charged. And the Flying Dutchman funicular up to the lighthouse at Cape Point is a separate ticket, listed as not included on the Gray Line day tour.
The only tour on this site with a park fee in the price is the e-bike tour, which includes the Cape Point entry; it is on our overview of every tour, together with the half-day and the private tour.
A peninsula day runs as a loop. One side follows the Atlantic coast south from the city past Hout Bay and over Chapman’s Peak Drive, a toll road cut into the cliffs above the sea. The other side follows False Bay through Muizenberg and Simon’s Town, where Boulders Beach lies. Cape Point sits at the tip where the two meet.
The Chapman’s Peak toll is included on the Cape Archives peninsula tour, on the Excitement Travel and Tours days and on the Gray Line Table Mountain combination, which tells you the drive is part of their plan. The Kenzi, Baz Bus and Gray Line day tours include road tolls without naming the road, and the City Sightseeing listing names no toll. Check the itinerary if the coastal drive matters to you. Either way, Chapman’s Peak Drive can be closed: wind, rain and rockfall shut it at short notice, and a rockfall on 24 April 2026 led to closures. When the road is shut, tours take another route down the peninsula.
How long you get at each stop is set by the itinerary on the product page, and it is worth reading before you book. As a rule of thumb, a 10-hour day leaves room for Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope and the penguins; a shorter day compresses the stops. Cape Point and Boulders Beach are at their busiest around the middle of the day, and in December and January, the southern-summer holiday peak, the viewpoints and the funicular queue get crowded.
If the penguins are the reason you are going, look at the Boulders stop in particular: the half-day tour, for example, allows only a short visit.
Every tour on this page includes hotel pickup except the City Sightseeing tour, which works differently: you ride a double-decker bus with Wi-Fi on board and board it at set stops in Cape Town. The Gray Line day tour collects within a 10 km radius in a 2025 Mercedes Sprinter, and the Gray Line Table Mountain combination within 8 km in a Sprinter or a Quantum; the Kenzi day runs in a people carrier. The product page confirms the pickup area and times when you choose a date. On the Excitement Travel and Tours seals-and-penguins day, three reviewers mention pickup problems, from the pickup arrangements to a tour that did not show up, so check the pickup point and time in your booking confirmation.
In summer the south-easterly Cape Doctor can make Cape Point cold and blustery even on a hot day in town, so pack a windproof layer. Chacma baboons live around Cape Point; keep food out of sight and do not feed them. Most full-day tours are listed at 10 hours, and the park fees are paid by card only.
The full-day Cape Point tours share the same destinations and the same catch: park entry of R874 per adult (international, valid to 31 October 2027) is paid at the gates on top of the tour. Choose by what the tour itself adds (pickup, Chapman’s Peak toll, vehicle and length of day) and compare the live tour prices in the table below.

★ 4.7 (2,120 reviews)
“It was a good experience. The great advantage is that you can walk from cape point to cape of good hope (something that you wouldn’t do without the car).”
“Had a great day across all 3 parts of the activity. Our tour guides were exceptional and knowledgeable - Paul, Siwe & Friday. Our favourite part of the activity was the walk from Cape Point to the Cape of Good Hope and our guides ensured this was fun, but safe. We learned a lot of interesting facts on the trip and overall had a great day - 10/10!”
“I didn't like the tour guide. He spoke very fast and never bothered to check if we understood. He was also aggressive when speaking. We were supposed to go with him to Cape Point, and suddenly we couldn't find him anymore. Honestly, we were disappointed. Another thing we didn't like was the short time we had at each location. For example, at Cape Point, we didn't even have time to eat a burger.”
“never turned up after finding that it was a glorified public transport service as the advertised price was misleading when the entrance fees had to be added”
Reviewers enjoy the coastline and the walk from Cape Point to the Cape of Good Hope, which several single out; one family travelling with children aged 8 and 12 loved the day. Among the critical reviews, three found the guide talked too much or too fast, and two describe short stops or a rush at the penguins, and guests left behind. One reviewer was dropped at a different place from the boarding point, one would have liked a photo stop on the long drive to the first sight, and one felt the price was misleading once the park fees were added. The fees are listed on this site for every tour.
★ 4.8 (1,001 reviews)
“We had a wonderful trip, everything was explained very well and well coordinated. Vaughan & Jephta were our guide and driver and both were exceptional. We had a fabulous day and never felt rushed at all. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! 😀”
“10 stars Mike and Jeff our guide and driver were spotless Always on-time, perfect communication throughout the tour, clear instructions in pickup and stops, right balance between individual freedom and group management Both very knowleageable and friendly Super recommend it”
“Bobby was a great driver and deserves a raise! The tour gave an opportunity to see loads of different places in one go. It was guide Lusanda's first time with the company, so that left room for improvement in terms of information and directions given. From the practical perspective, it was unclear that the access to Cape Point is obligatory to book and can't be skipped. …”
The praise is consistent: guides and drivers, clear organisation and a day that runs on time. Critical reviews with text are few for a tour with this many ratings. One reviewer found it unclear that the Cape Point entry is compulsory and comes on top of the tour price; on this tour, as on every group tour on this site, it does. One had only 30 minutes for Cape Point and the penguins, one was let down by the fences along the Boulders boardwalk and notes that the same ticket also covers the beach side, and two point to a guide who was new or less engaged.
★ 4.8 (614 reviews)
“Magnificent activity! After some careful investigation we decided to book this excursion, and it was simply the best. Our guide Rodney was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely worth the value and your time! Also, pro-tip: Boast up your energy and courage and just take the 30min hike up to the lighthouse in Cape Point National Park. Definitely worth and the views are amazing!”
Reviewers praise knowledgeable guides and a scenic, well-planned route; one recommends the 30-minute walk up to the lighthouse at Cape Point. Three reviews raise the park entry fees: one 5-star reviewer would like them included in the tour price, one found the gate prices had changed, and one was given confusing information on how to pay them. Two reviewers felt the time at the stops was unevenly split, and two say beaches or sights on the itinerary were only driven past or missed. One mentions an optional boat tour that is arranged at the start of the day. The park fees for international visitors are listed on this site.
Taken from the GetYourGuide pages of the Cape Point tours. Cuts are marked with …, the wording is unchanged, and names are shortened to first name and country.
None of the full-day group tours on this page. The SANParks fees for the Cape of Good Hope section and for Boulders Beach are paid separately at the gates, by card. The only tour on this site with a park fee included is the e-bike tour, which covers the Cape Point entry.
For international visitors: R592 per adult for the Cape of Good Hope section and R282 for Boulders Beach, R874 in total; children pay R288 and R138. These are the SANParks conservation fees valid from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. SANParks adjusts its fees every year on 1 November; for a trip from November 2027 onwards, check the current rates on sanparks.org.
No. The SANParks gates at Cape Point and Boulders Beach are cashless, so bring a bank card for the entry fees.
The Chapman’s Peak Drive toll is included on the Cape Archives peninsula tour, on the Excitement Travel and Tours days and on the Gray Line Table Mountain combination. The road closes at short notice for wind, rain or rockfall (a rockfall on 24 April 2026 led to closures), and tours then take another route.
All of them except the City Sightseeing double-decker tour, which boards at set stops instead of hotels. The Gray Line day tour collects within a 10 km radius and the Gray Line Table Mountain combination within 8 km; the product page shows the exact pickup area when you choose a date.
Most full-day tours are listed at 10 hours, the Cape Archives peninsula tour at 9 hours and the City Sightseeing double-decker tour at 8 hours.
The Flying Dutchman funicular up to the lighthouse is a separate ticket. On the Gray Line day tour it is listed as not included; check the product page of any other tour before you rely on it.
