    Which day goes first?

    Table Mountain's cableway closes in high wind or cloud, so we keep the city day flexible and swap the two days around the forecast. Both days start and end in Cape Town City Centre.

    Prefer nature to the city? The nature-first version swaps the city day for the Winelands at the same private full-day rate.

    Official park fees — excluded, paid separately

    The Cape Point day enters the Cape Point section and Boulders Beach in Table Mountain National Park. SANParks charges a daily conservation fee per person at the gate. The rates below are for international (non-South African) visitors and are valid 1 Nov 2026–31 Oct 2027. They are not part of any South African Adventures price or itinerary total; South African, resident and SADC visitors pay lower rates.
