We managed to get last minute tickets on this tour and were not disappointed. Don't be put off by the fact you are on the bus all day. There are plenty of opportunities to get off and the guide gave us a running commentary for the whole time. When we did get off it was made clear to us how much time you had there and what time the bus would be leaving. At Cape Point we joined the walk to Cape of Good Hope - not too difficult but also optional. At Boulders Beach the guide advised us where to go for the best viewing of the penguins and we were left to our own devices which was nice. Lunch stop at Cape Point was fine - there is a good cafe selling baguettes and similar items. the views from the bus were good and we all became adept at animal spotting.

This was a very well organized tour. From pickup, to the guided tour and history during the drive, to the stops, it was very well done and managed. We really enjoyed the Cape of Good Hope, the penguins of boulder beach and learning more about the history of Cape Town and the region. Kudos to Paul and the team for a top notch day.

The Capetown Explorer penguin tour was an amazing day trip which came with informative and hilarious commentary from our guide, Brahm. Even though it was foggy, the trek up to the lighthouse was great and the hike down to cape of good hope was well worth the trip along. We were treated to some picturesque views as we made the long and steep decent to good hope. Lastly of course the penguins were plentiful and adorable. We enjoyed the penguins swimming by the beach the most. This tour is a must for anyone visiting capetown!
