Half-Day or Full-Day Cape Point Tour?
A half-day or full-day Cape Point tour from Cape Town: what five hours buys against ten, the afternoon departure, the days that start on Table Mountain, and which ones sell park entry inside the price.
Take the full day unless you have only a morning. Kenzi Travel and Tours’ ten-hour tour costs US$44 per adult and adds Hout Bay, an hour at Boulders and lunch in Simon’s Town to the two capes; the same company’s five-hour half day costs US$40 and keeps the capes, Chapman’s Peak and a short Boulders stop (checked November 2026). Pick the half day if the afternoon is already spoken for.

What a half day leaves out
The two Kenzi days start at the same 8:00 AM time on the calendar and collect from much the same Cape Town areas (13 for the full day, 15 for the half). The difference is what happens between the capes and home:
| Half day | Full day | |
|---|---|---|
| Hours | 5 | 10 |
| Hout Bay boatyard (seal boat optional) | Not on the itinerary | 50 minutes |
| Chapman’s Peak Drive | 10 minutes | 20 minutes |
| Cape of Good Hope | 20 minutes | 30 minutes |
| New Cape Point Lighthouse | 45 minutes | 45 minutes |
| Boulders penguins | 25 minutes | 1 hour |
| Simon’s Town lunch | Not on the itinerary | 75 minutes |
| Price per adult | US$40 | US$44 |
Both Kenzi Travel and Tours itineraries, stop by stop (checked November 2026).
The lighthouse gets the same 45 minutes either way. What you lose on the half day is the Atlantic harbour, most of the penguin time and a sit-down lunch.

DS-Group pty LTD’s afternoon tour picks up only at four hotels: the V&A Waterfront, Taj Cape Town, Protea Hotel Cape Town Sea Point and The Westin Cape Town. Because it reaches the reserves late in the day, the group keeps to the time the guide sets at each stop.

The days that start on Table Mountain
Three listings fit Table Mountain into the same day. The cableway ticket is extra on each, and Beyond Africa Safaris (Pty)Ltd’s Viator day carries on without it if the cableway is not running because of the weather.
- Excitement Travel and Tours' group tour: the calendar offers starting times from 7:30 to 7:55 AM; an hour on the mountain, then 50 minutes at the lighthouse and 25 at the Cape of Good Hope. US$62 per adult, with the Chapman’s Peak Drive ticket included.
- Beyond Africa Safaris - Gray Line South Africa's small-group tour: the option in its calendar is titled “Table Mountain & Chapman’s Peak Drive Guided Tour”, 7:00 AM, 10 hours, at US$56.14 per adult; its itinerary gives one hour apiece to the Cape of Good Hope, the lighthouse and Boulders. In December and January it may swap the order and do Cape Point first if the cableway queue is long.
- Beyond Africa Safaris (Pty)Ltd's group day on Viator, from US$63.84 per person: two hours at the lighthouse, and an “Including entrance fees” option in its calendar.
