  • Cape of Good Hope

    Cape of Good Hope
    Legendary Cape of Good Hope is the southwesternmost point of Africa, where Indiana and Atlantic oceans meet. Right next to it is Cape Point, a dramatic knife's edge of rock that slices into the ocean. Looking out to sea from the viewing platform, you feel you're at the tip of Africa. The views of False Bay and the Hottentots Holland Mountains are astonishing.

    Two Oceans Aquarium
    The Two Oceans Aquarium at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is considered one of the finest in the world. It's a hands-on place, with a touch pool for children and opportunities for certified divers to explore the vast, five-story kelp forest or the predator tank, where you share the water with a couple of large ragged-tooth sharks. If you don't fancy getting wet, you can still watch the feeding in the predator tank every day at 3 pm.

  • Boulders Beach penguins

    Boulders Beach penguins
    Boulders Beach is best known for its resident colony of African penguins. You must stay out of the fenced-off breeding beach, but don't be surprised if a wandering bird comes waddling up to you to take a look. Penguin-viewing platforms provide close-up looks at these comical birds. When you've had enough penguin peering, you can stroll back to Boulders Beach for some excellent swimming in the quiet coves.
