Take a tour of Cape Point, a dramatic seaside promontory and part of Table Mountain National Park, known for its scenic landscape and hiking trails. The narrow coastline, discovered in 1488 by Bartholomeu Dias, became famous as the birthplace of the "Flying Dutchman" legend. A bird-watching paradise, the area shelters more than 200 species, including the African penguin, as well as a variety of other creatures like Chacma baboon, fallow deer, whales, and the elusive Cape mountain zebra. For travelers who use our world travel planner, Cape Town holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Cape Point and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

  Ett måste om man är i SA, lite bökigt att ta sig dit men fin utsikt från toppen. Massor av turister dock, ävenså fåglar. Har man tur kan man även få se en del vilda djur typ apor, zebror o strutar.  more »

  A must if you are in SA, a bit cumbersome to get there but nice view from the top. Lots of tourists though, venso birds. If you are lucky you may also see some wild animal type monkeys, zebras o ostriches.

  There is not much to see... Why should i drive a long way to see a coast that does not differ from other areas. Entrance by car can take time. Bit expensive for not much to see.  more »
