Cape Point & Peninsula by Trike

A scenic ride to Cape Point via Camps Bay, Hout Bay, the world famous Chapman’s Peak Drive (if open), Kommetjie, and Misty Cliffs. The return trip from Cape Point will be via Simonstown, stopping at the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, Fish Hoek, scenic Boyes Drive, along the M3 stopping at Rhodes Memorial. Tour includes entry to Cape Point Nature Reserve. Cape Point is a spectacular, narrow finger of land, covered in endemic fynbos and home to picturesque bays, beaches, rolling green hills and valleys. It falls within the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site, and is the most southerly point within the Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park. The Cape Floral Region is one of the richest areas for plants in the world – it is home to nearly 20% of Africa’s flora. Apart from the spectacular view, you’ll be able to see the most powerful lighthouse on the South African coast, which helps guide ships safely through perilous waters that have seen to the end of many a vessel. Look out, too, for pelagic birds of which there are a large variety, zebra, eland, and the many species of reptiles and small mammals. Chacma baboons are common here, especially at the point itself. Don’t be tempted to feed the baboons and rather stay well away, as they can be aggressive. Cape Point is open daily and is a must-see.
