Table Mountain, Robben Island and V&A Waterfront

Table Mountain

  • One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World stands majestically above the city of Cape Town. Believed to be the oldest mountain range in the world, the rotating cable car allows everyone a 360-degree view of the mountain and city as you "fly" to the upper cable station at the top. At over 1000 m above sea level, the walking trails on top and strategically placed lookout points give you the opportunity to see in every direction. Take in the beauty of Cape Town from here. The Table Mountain restaurant allows you to enjoy drinks or meals while taking in breathtaking vistas before leaving.

Robben Island

  • The tour starts with a ferry ride to the island, followed by a bus and prison tour that showcases the history of the island and the imprisonment cells of South Africa's most famous son.

Victoria & Alfred Waterfront

  • With over 400 shops, a vast array of restaurants, an aquarium, and museums, this is a must-see.
