- Hey y'all. It's Kim with workhardtravelwell.com.
and I am here at Cape Point South Africa.
It is very windy up here, but look at this view.
(upbeat music)
After my table mountain tour in Cape Town, South Africa
I continued on with the rest of my custom itinerary.
Earlier that morning I had provided the custom itinerary
to my hotel and they'd been called a driver who agreed
to take me around Cape Point South Africa.
But not before we stopped here at a lookout
on Chapman's Peak Route.
(relaxing music)
I tried to fit as much as possible in this tour
because I was short on time.
So if you are also short on time, this is a tour for you.
Check the description for more details.

The drive from Cape Town to Cape Point
says about an hour and a half, but the total tour,
with stops took about eight hours.
Once you arrive in the parking lot of Cape Point
there are restrooms as well as shops.
Be sure to not feed the baboons.
Entry into Cape Point for non South Africans as 320 rands,
you can walk up to the top or you can take up a funicular
which is 80 rands round trip.
Be careful not to lose your return ticket like I did up top
because it blew out of my pocket because it was so windy.
In the description of this video, I've included a link
to an audio guide that you can use when you visit.
(relaxing music)
Once up top, there are various trails that you can explore.
(relaxing music)
For solo travelers I would not advise that use a tripod
when you're on top of Cape Point, because it was so windy.
As you can see my tripod with my camera fell over.
(relaxing music)
Most people come here to go to the top where they can see
the Cape Point lighthouse and get spectacular views.

After Cape Point, I headed on to the Cape of Good Hope
for another photo opp.

(relaxing music)
After the Cape of Good Hope,
we headed it to Simon's Town
for our boaters beach to see the penguins.
But first a quick stop to show you some
aerial footage of Misty Cliffs and Witsands Beach
that I captured on my DJI Mavic mini.
I wasn't able to use my drone at any of their locations
such as Boulders Beach or Cape Point
or the Cape of Good Hope, it wasn't allowed.
So I was happy I was able to pull over
and get some quick footage.
(relaxing music)
And this part of the tour we're headed to Boulders Beach,
which is near Simon's Town to see the
South African penguins.

Once parked, you have to walk down the street
where cars aren't allowed
about a third of a mile to the ticket office.
Thankfully, my driver walked me up to it.
There was a fee to get in
and it is 65 rands at the time of this video.
(relaxing music)
You can't hear me in this video because it's so windy.
I did not realize how windy it would be
at the Cape peninsula.
I'm glad I brought shades because the sand blew
around from the beach.
Another thing that caught me off guard
was the smell of the penguins
it was something I was not prepared for.
So I did not stay that long.
(relaxing music)
It's been nonstop for about eight hours.
Now it's time to head back to Cape Town
which is about an hour drive.
