Half Day or Full Day to Cape Point?
A Cape Point trip as a 5-hour morning, a 6-hour afternoon, a 10-hour day or an 11-hour day with Table Mountain: what each tour skips, its start, its price in US$.
A half day gets you the essentials: the Boulders penguins, the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, back in Cape Town after 5 or 6 hours. A full day of 8 to 10 hours adds longer stops and more of the coast, Hout Bay or a lunch stop in Simon’s Town or both, and an 11-hour day adds Table Mountain. Pick by what you would miss: for a first visit, the full day, and Beyond Africa Safaris - Gray Line South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope & Penguins Day Tour is 10 hours from 7:00 AM at US$50.23 per adult (checked November 2026). Park fees are extra on every tour here.
