Kenzi Travel and Tours · Atlantic coast to Simon's Town
A 10-hour shared loop of the peninsula in an air-conditioned people carrier: Camps Bay, Hout Bay harbour, Chapman's Peak, both capes, an hour with the penguins and lunch in Simon's Town. Pick it for the stops: it is the only shared tour here that fits in Hout Bay and a proper Simon's Town break.
Kenzi Travel and Tours collects you from your hotel in one of 13 areas, from the City Centre and V&A Waterfront out to Sea Point, Camps Bay and Hout Bay. The day runs down the Atlantic side first: Maiden's Cove and Camps Bay views, then Hout Bay harbour and its seals, then the photo stops on Chapman's Peak. In the Table Mountain National Park you see the low, rocky Cape of Good Hope and the lighthouse at Cape Point, before the van crosses to False Bay for about an hour at Boulders, lunch and a walk in Simon's Town, and the shark-spotter stop at Muizenberg.
Now the money. The $44 is the tour. The listing's Includes section names the park and Boulders entries, rand prices and all, but its own "Know before you go" note says entrance fees and extras are paid on site, by cash or card. Read it as paid on the day. From 1 November 2026 an international adult pays R592 at the park gate and R282 at Boulders (SANParks 2026/27 fee card), so R874, about $54. Until 31 October it was R515 and R245. A guest from Spain put it bluntly: you pay more for the gates than for the excursion.
Budget about $100 per adult before lunch, tips and the optional extras: the Flying Dutchman funicular (R115 return at the 2025-26 rate valid to 31 October 2026; the new rate wasn't out when we checked) and the 45-minute Seal Island boat in Hout Bay, which the listing prices at R140. That is still the cheapest way to see this much of the peninsula in one go. The same operator runs the half-day version and the Table Mountain combo, so the vans, guides and style are much the same across all three.
Hotel pickup, then Maiden's Cove and the Camps Bay views with the Twelve Apostles behind.
Seals in the harbour. If you want the 45-minute boat to Seal Island, it costs extra (R140 adult, R70 child on the listing).
Photo stops on the cliff road above the Atlantic on the way south to the reserve.
The gate fee is paid here. At Cape Point you either ride the funicular or walk up, about 15 minutes on a paved path, to the old lighthouse.
About an hour with the penguins (second gate fee), then lunch and a walk along the Simon's Town main street.
A stop by the shark spotters at Muizenberg, then the drive back to your hotel. The listing gives 10 hours door to door.

★★★★★Really good experience. Get to see a lot of beautiful sites of Cape Town - all in one day.
★★★★★Comfortable transport, careful driving, and a friendly guide.

About $100 per adult: the $44 tour plus roughly $54 in gate fees. Add lunch in Simon's Town, tips, and the funicular or Seal Island boat if you want them.
Yes. The Flying Dutchman reopened on 1 October 2026 after a maintenance closure. It's not in the tour price: R115 return was the adult rate to 31 October 2026, and prices rise each November.
About an hour at Boulders, which is longer than the 25 minutes on the half-day tour. Lunch in Simon's Town comes right after.
