The Cape Fur Seal is often referred to as the ‘dogs of the ocean’. They are possibly the most curious and playful mammals you will ever have the joy of interacting with in their natural environment.
You can take an optional boat return trip at own account ( ZAR 100 per adult, and ZAR 75 -age of child should be 1-12 years. During the boat experience to the Island just off Hout Bay’s Duiker Island, you will get to witness members of the local colony – big and small – metamorphose from awkward and clumsy land-dwellers into graceful and elegant underwater dancers. Spinning and twirling in shoals of tiny, pearl-like bubbles, gazing at you with those gigantic shiny eyes.
We would not advise a boat trip when the sea/ocean is rough.
Should you decide not to take the boat, there is a market where you could bargain to a variety of gifts and souvenirs. There is also a variety of curios shops. The best fish and chips in Cape Town can be purchased at Mariner’s Wharf.

Our next stop will be the spectacular Chapman’s peak , one of the best scenic route in South Africa.Chapman’s Peak is named after John Chapman, the Captain’s mate of an English ship, the Consent. The peak which looms overhead was not named after a governor or brave mountaineer, but a lowly ship’s pilot. In 1607 the skipper of the British ship Contest found his vessel becalmed in what is now Hout Bay and sent his pilot, John Chapman, to row ashore in the hope of finding provisions. The pilot later recorded the bay as Chapman’s Chaunce (chance) and the name stuck, becoming official on all East India charts.
In the early 1920’s Sir Nicolas Fredrick de Waal, first administrator of the Cape Province, ordered the construction of a high-level road linking Cape Town with the Southern Suburbs. The roadway (De Waal Drive) was extremely well received. Enthused with this success he called for another road linking Hout Bay to Noordhoek. Two possible routes were under consideration in 1910. The route over the low nek between the Chapman’s and Noordhoek Peaks was second to the more spectacular route along the vertical sea cliffs.
