Your tour to Houtbay leaves Cape Town and follows the drive along the Atlantic Seaboard, nestled between majestic mountain peaks and the rugged shoreline. Upon arrival in Houtbay Harbor, we board a glass-bottom vessel and take a boat trip to the local seal colony, where seals lie basking in the sun or frolic in the waves. Arriving back at the harbor there is more to explore and time will be allocated to having lunch before taking a drive to the viewing area on Chapmans Peak. The view is breathtaking and the perfect way to finish off an exciting day out in the fairest cape. All of our tours include a complimentary photography service. Pictures of your adventure will be messaged/emailed to you the evening after your tour.
