Cape of Good Hope is the eastern channel that wants to lead to the rich, so it is called Cape of Good Hope. Before the Suez Canal was opened, ships between Asia and Europe passed the Cape of Good Hope. The super-large tanker cannot enter the Suez Canal and still needs to take this route. Here still maintains the original style, here you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean Oceans and the waves and vortex raised by the intersection of the waves and vortex. In 1919, Cape Good Hope established the brightest lighthouse in Africa for past ships to guide the Mizu, and visitors climbed the 238-meter-high Cape Cape Peak. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean intersection, the water and the sky, the smoke and waves are vast."Cape Town48.3 km from downtown Cape TownNature ReservesNational ParksSeashoresFeatured in 2024 Global 100 - Best Things to DoHighlights: Atlantic & Indian Ocean views | Legendary home of the Flying DutchmanShow Less

Table Mountain, also known as the "God's Table", is the most striking symbol of Cape Town. There are many small animals in the mountains, and fossils of seabed creatures have been found at the foot of the mountain. When white clouds float across the table, Cape Town residents will call the scene a "white towel table.""Cape Town4.4 km from downtown Cape TownMountainsMountain ClimbingFeatured in 2024 Global 100 - Best Things to DoHighlights: New 7 Wonders of Nature | World Heritage Site | Unique flora & fauna | Hiking | Cave exploringShow Less

Penguins are African and their precious animals, which have been listed on the World Animal Protection Association's list of protected animals. The penguins on the penguin beach walk on the beach every day facing the sunrise. Its squeaky state attracts a burst of laughter from tourists, which is really a lingering place.

Seal Island is also a famous tourist attraction on the Cape Town Peninsula, with thousands of seals perched on the island. In order to protect the seal habitat, tourists are prohibited from visiting the island. The pier has a dedicated yacht to take tourists to watch, and slowly detours very close to the island, so that we can watch the seals prey, play in the water, and inhabit at close range. The bottom of the yacht is equipped with glass to watch the underwater world."Hout Bay5.7 km from downtown Hout BayBoat ToursSeashoresIslands/PeninsulasNo.2 of Water Fun Attractions in South AfricaHighlights: South African Seal Island is a small island located in Hout Bay (HoutBay), famous for the large number of seals and seagulls on the island.

The Twelve Apostles Peak is a side of the famous South African attraction "Table Mountain". Because there are twelve peaks on the rise, it is called "Twelve Apostles Peak". The foothills are like 12 saints lying on the edge of the bay."Cape Town7.4 km from downtown Cape TownMountainsMountain ClimbingNo.1 of Water Fun Attractions in South AfricaHighlights: There is such a legend: a long time ago, twelve Christians from the West came to South Africa to preach good deeds, and they died at sea. But soon, the twelve disciples actually came back to life, and then landed here. People say that Jesus saved them. In honor of the twelve disciples, people named this place the mountain of the twelve disciples. This place name reflects the Christian spirit of "benevolence to save people". Now the mountains are lush and green, surrounded by white clouds. The houses built along the corners and slopes of the hills are neatly arranged. The waves on the coast beat the boulders and sandy beaches. There is that dark green vegetation. They have formed a "Twelve Apostles Mountain" bay into a beautiful landscape painting.Show Less

Pass through beaches, cliffs, wilderness and virgin forest along the way, with stunning scenery to see. The scenery at sunrise and sunset is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes. In addition, there is an underwater line that is popular with swimmers and diving enthusiasts. There are cabins and camping facilities for overnight stays at Stormy Estuary.Show Less
