Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Cape Point, Cape Point, Western Cape
One of the first things that visitors to the Cape Point Nature Reserve do is either walk or take the funicular up the steep pathway to Cape Point’s first lighthouse. The impressive structure was built in 1859, but instead of guiding ships to safety, it was often the cause of mishaps. The lighthouse is often concealed by clouds, as it sits too high above the ocean, so ships approaching from the east would see the light too clearly and approach too closely causing many wrecks.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Old Cape Point Lighthouse, Cape Point Nature Reserve, Cape Point South Africa
There are two lighthouses at Cape Point, only one of which is still in operation as a nautical guide. While still a popular tourist attraction, the old lighthouse built in the 1850s no longer functions – it sits too high above the ocean and is often covered by cloud. Ships approaching from the east could also see the light too easily, often causing them to approach too closely. Because of this, they often wrecked on the rocks before rounding the peninsula. In fact, it was the wreck of the Lusitania, on Bellows Rock below the lighthouse in 1911, which prompted the construction of a new, more effective structure.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, Simon’s Town 7995 South Africa
After you’ve had a walk around and your picture taken at the famous Cape Of Good Hope sign you’ll head on to Boulders Beach to catch a glimpse of a colony of adorable African penguins. The Boulders Penguin Colony is a sanctuary for these endangered creatures, offering pristine white sandy beaches and plenty of sheltered areas for the penguins to breed.
Duration: 30 minutes
