Beautiful views all round and plenty to see and do. The Park is well looked after and the service levels from the staff is exceptional. Weather can be temperamental, so carry a wind breaker or jacket along just in case the wind picks up. The beaches are really great, we spent some time on the coast, very fascinating …

Amazing place, we saw baboons and an ostrich! Lovely views from the top, although parts of the water is covered in seaweed and it does get really windy here. Hike from parking lot is not long and fully manageable even on a windy day (they have longer hikes including a 90 minute one from cape point).

  • Rachel Konecny

We definitely enjoyed the hike. I'd recommend a good pair of sneakers, water, and a hat for the trail as it's in direct sun. There are restrooms at the beginning of the trail. The actual hiking time is less than the 1.5 hour estimate, but took us about that long with pictures, lookouts, etc. More

  • Roberto Cossich

Definitely worth the trip. I recommend going up the little hike up to the lighthouse for a beautiful view. On your way down from Cape Town, go through Boulders Beach to see the penguins, on your way back to Cape Town go through the other side, Atlantic coast, with beautiful views as well.

  • Roger Timmermans

Expensive entrance fee of about 600 Rand per head. But worth every penny. Great views, great nature and animal sightings. You can visit cape point and the lighthouse. Two oceans restaurant is good, but very busy and touristic. I would take a few bottles of water or soda to go. More

  • Pearl Nel

Did a hike with a few friends & absolutely loved it. Ostriches & gemsboks roam freely & a few baboons. We've already planned a return trip. Tip - go early to avoid queues at the entrance. No queue when we arrived at 08h00. Quite a queue when we left at 12h00. More

  • Petch Manopawitr

Experience the famous historical site for many explorer. Cape of Good Hope offers great way to see the precarious peninsula from bottom up and top down view. Trail leads to and back from Cape Point and vice versa. Lovely walk. Good spot to watch seabirds. More

  • Abeetha Wewegama

The Cape of Good Hope is an absolute must-visit in Cape Town! The meeting point of two oceans is a spectacle of oceanic beauty, and the rugged trails, along with the invigorating ocean breeze, offer a challenge worth taking on. ️

Cape of Good Hope in South Africa is a true natural wonder that should not be missed. Located at the southwestern tip of the continent, it offers breathtaking views of rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and a diverse range of flora and fauna.

  • Hannes Bend

An incredible experience. Stunning views, many birds, baboons and other species, and the vast-less ocean…powerful yet peaceful and serene. The trip with the cable car is short up to the lighthouse. Just make sure that during power outages,

  • Naomi Sprung

Amazing history! The feeling of standing at the lowest part of Africa was thrilling. We went in our summer, so it was their winter / which means a sweater and maybe a hoodie is needed to fend off the winds from the water. Plenty of parking

  • canyoudoanybetter

Well worth the drive from Cape Town! It was basically a whole day excursion. I had a rental car and like to explore the coast so was not in a hurry driving! You can hike to the top of the Cape for great views or pay and take a funicular. I

  • Remi Hofmann

Quite an expensive entry fee for non-residents but definitely worth it. I would recommend not only doing the lighthouse but going for the 1.5hr walk down around it for some more beautiful views and a bit of whale watching. Lots of old

Go with a guide who can explain to you some of the history of the Cape and of Cape Town. There is a cost to enter the state park. Also - do your best to leave before 8am from Cape Town. This will give you the best shot of beating the

A must visit! Consider an early visit to avoid the crowds! The beach on the other side of the cape also worth the walk! Beware of the ostriches nearby!
