Things To Do In Cape Town

Helicopter Rides – Jaw-Dropping Aerial Views!

One of the perfect ways to admire the Cape Town Destinations and their marvels is by air. This is certainly going to be hands down of the key takeaways of your day tours. Once you see Table Mountain from an aerial perspective, you’ll land on the fact that this may be one of the best views you’ve ever had.

These tours referred to as heli-flips have a great base at the V&A Waterfront and you’re likely to locate one of their stands while shopping around the bayside hubs.

Plus, some of the long flights also offer a journey to the wineries and Robben Island, an all-inclusive day tour for sure!

Helicopter Rides

Chapman’s Peak – The Ride of your Life!

For those who prefer to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground, then this is one of those Cape Town Full Day Tours that will satisfy immensely. A package of stunning views and equally impressive driving experiences – Chapman’s Peak is one of the most scenic roads on Earth – yes, that’s not an exaggeration!

  • If you’ve seen towering cliffs and broken canyons by the oceanic surroundings in advertisements and shows then there’s a high chance that it was Chapman’s Peak.
  • The road goes from Hout Bay to Noordhoek and winds along the towering cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean.

Several lay-bys are located along the pathway so that you can take some of the most picturesque snapshots or just take in the glorious views.

Hiking – Get your dose of fitness on!

Table Mountain and Lion’s Head are the most obvious choices of Cape Town Destinations where hiking possibilities are endless.

  • If you want something a bit different and more unique, then the Elephant’s Eye Cave in the hills above Tokai comes highly recommended by us.
  • For those who want something that leans towards the side of challenging and extreme, then try the Devil’s Peak. This hike takes a few hours so leaving first thing in the morning is advised.

The views from the top are something that’s right out of dreams – a 360 panorama that comprises Lion’s Head, Table Mountain, Table Bay, Cape Town City Centre, and the southern suburbs all the way to Muizenberg.

Llandudno Beach – Off-beaten Exclusivity!

When coming from or on the way to Chapman’s Peak, stop by the tiny seaside suburb of Llandudno. The location is well hidden from the road, making for some great private Cape Town Tours. From there, make your way to one of the best beach destinations in Cape Town.

The beach presents a secluded spot, perfect to soak up the sun. It’s also a great destination for surfing – as the granite boulders on either side funnel the waves into the bay.

Sea Point Promenade – Scenic Bike Rides!

This South African Tour is a relaxing and fun way to spend a summer afternoon, riding a bike from one end of the Sea Point Promenade to another, and back again while taking in the scenic surroundings.

  • Next to the Sea Point swimming pool, there’s a food court where you can rent one of the many orange bikes. These are basic pedal bikes that have one gear.
  • Plus, you can also hire an electric bike as they allow you to travel further, as far as the V&A Waterfront.
  • Or, you could go a step further and hire bikes for Cape Town Full Day Tours.

Boulders Beach and Cape Point – Penguins and coastal landscapes!

Home to the largest colony of wild penguins in Africa, Boulders Beach is a must-visit Cape Town Destination. It’s named after the huge granite boulders that are scattered across the sandy beach. It’s something akin to a maze, as you walk through the boulders and discover penguins around every corner.

  • After moving on from here, keep driving south towards the Cape of Good Hope and it’s just another 20-minute drive to Cape Point.
  • Visiting the Cape of Good Hope Lighthouse has to make it to the list of favourites during Cape Town Tours mainly because of the amazing views from the vantage point.

All in all, Cape of Good Hope and Penguin Tours showcase the best that Cape Town has to offer during the summertime.

Kalk Bay – Walk along the suburbs and stop by restaurants!

The seaside Kalk Bay suburb has narrow streets lined with art galleries, antique shops, and cafés. They are always buzzing with curious people on Cape Town Day Tours, live music, and welcoming locals.

  • Moreover, you can stop by any of the brilliant restaurants and have an iced drink to refresh along with a delicious and filling lunch.
  • Plus there’s also an old railway carriage that has been transformed into a café, a cozy bookstore, and the fishing harbor itself.

Snorkelling – Swim with the Cape Fur Seals!

Summertime visitors on Cape Town Full Day Tours will have their fill of water-based adventure. This is one of the most Unique Things To Do In Cape Town where you’ll be able to swim with Cape Fur Seals in their natural habitat.

  • The boats set off from Hout Bay and after a quick round of safety briefing, you can change into wetsuits and get aboard the boat.
  • This trip will take you to Duiker Island, Sentinel Park, and Hout Bay.
  • After the snorkelling experience, you’ll be offered hot chocolate and biscuits on the ride back to Hout Bay.
  • Seal snorkelling is indeed a great way to cool off and hang out with these furry creatures during the summer.

Kirstenbosch – The Cape’s Floral Kingdom!

The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is home to a diverse array of flora and is the perfect spot for outdoor picnics while on Cape Town Half Day Tours.

Every Sunday afternoon in the summer season, an outdoor concert is held at the music stage and serves as a perfect way to spend your time listening to some of the finest local music in the open air.

Our Recommendation – A walk along the Boomslang (a wooden walkway that makes its way around the canopy of trees) will also be another major highlight.

Wine Tasting – Awake your senses and palette in the Cape!

One of the best Things to do in Cape Town, wine tasting in the many establishments around Mother City has a charm of its own. Heading to the Cape Winelands comes as no surprise but there are some old wineries in Constantia worth checking out too.

You can book a tour at any of the wineries and try out your palette at some of the finest Cape Town Destinations. We at Cape Archive Tours can offer some helpful recommendations to pick out the best wine farms, based on your inclination for views, foods, and prices.
