Beyond Africa Safaris (Gray Line) · Bo-Kaap to Cape Point
Your own guide and Mercedes-Benz (or similar) for eight hours, from the Bo-Kaap down the Atlantic side to both capes and the Boulders penguins. Pick it for control: an hour at each main stop, optional detours, and a car that is wheelchair accessible with minimal walking.
Beyond Africa Safaris, trading as Gray Line South Africa, sends a guide-driver and a private car to your door. The route starts with 30 minutes in the Bo-Kaap, then Maiden's Cove, Hout Bay (Seal Island optional, extra), 30 minutes on Chapman's Peak and an optional stop in Noordhoek. After that you get an hour each at Boulders, the Cape of Good Hope and the new Cape Point lighthouse, with Simon's Town as an optional stop. The listing also offers an ostrich farm or wine tasting as extras.
The price is $151 per person, not per car, which matters for couples and families. And it doesn't cover the gates. The itinerary marks Boulders and the Cape of Good Hope as extra fees and tells you to bring a credit card. The Includes list does print park, Boulders, Seal Island and funicular entries, but with old 2024-25 figures (R455, R215, R150, R105). Ignore them. From 1 November 2026 an international adult pays R592 at the park gate and R282 at Boulders (SANParks 2026/27 fee card).
Budget about $205 per adult: the tour plus roughly $54 at the gates, before food, tips and any extras. You get a guide who can skip a stop when the wind's howling or stay longer at the penguins, and a vehicle that works for travellers with limited mobility. Guests keep naming their guides by name. That says a lot about a private tour.
Pickup at your accommodation, then the coloured houses of the Bo-Kaap.
Atlantic views, then Hout Bay, where the Seal Island boat is optional and extra.
The cliff road, with the toll paid by the tour. Noordhoek is an optional stop after it.
Extra fee: R282 per international adult from 1 November 2026. Simon's Town is an optional add-on.
Park gate on entry: R592 per international adult from 1 November 2026.
Time for the lighthouse, by funicular or on foot, then the drive back to your accommodation.
