See Cape Point from a different angle!

Get that photo you always see in the National Geographic magazine. Make a pass through Smitswinkel bay and Buffels bay past the Dias crosses and close to the cliffs below the historic lighthouse that leads up to the point.

Visit the Roman Rock Lighthouse – the only lighthouse on our coast to have been erected on a single rock which has been in operation for over 165 years.

We often see penguin rafts off Boulder’s Beach on the way out. In season, Humpback, Southern Right and Brydes whales can be spotted. Pods of Dusky dolphins and Common dolphins are sometimes seen as well as the enigmatic mola mola (Sunfish). Bird lovers will see some of the pelagic species off Cape Point and we will also visit the roosting rocks of the cormorants.

View the seal haul-out at Partridge Point and watch these charismatic animals interacting with one another on the rocks. We will pause for a few minutes to take photos and discuss their behaviour.

We will do an optional snorkel in the kelp forests on the return journey, where guests can see some of our incredible marine diversity under the surface. Our experienced guides will lead groups in small ratios for maximum personal attention and enjoyment.
