Take a drive along one of the most scenic routes in the world known as Chapman's Peak Drive - fondly referred to by locals as "Chappies". (This route will be used depending on whether it is operational. Sometimes it is not operational due to rock falls, but this is very seldom.) We will stop at the view point where you will have a photo opportunity of the spectacular Atlantic Seaboard coastline, stretching between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.

Visitors often opt for a short hike up to Cape Point, while others prefer to take the Flying Dutchman Funicular. The Cape Point is often referred to as the meeting point of the Two Oceans, this is in fact the meeting point of the Two Ocean currents and not the two oceans. The Two Ocean currents being the warm-water Agulhas current and the cold-water Benguela current. We recommend lunch at either the Two Oceans Restaurant sit-down or at the informal eatery, both situated at Cape Point.
