A Cape of Good Hope private tour: why your own vehicle helps
A Cape of Good Hope private tour from Cape Town gives you a full day on the peninsula with a guide who stays with your party. The route follows Chapman's Peak Drive, and on the full-day private option the toll is already paid.
Since 1 November 2026 an international adult pays R592 for the Cape and R282 for Boulders, and a child R288 and R138. Only the cycle day below includes park fees. All tour prices are from-prices per person, as of November 2026.

Full-day private tour: the whole peninsula in eight hours
You are collected and returned at your accommodation in a private luxury vehicle, with a guide who also drives. Phone chargers and the Chapman's Peak Drive toll come with it. The price starts at $151 per person, so $302 for two and $604 for four. Cape of Good Hope entry, Boulders, the optional funicular, a Seal Island boat trip, food and drinks are extra.
Private Cape Point photo trip: five hours with a camera in mind
A private climate-controlled vehicle, a live guide, photography assistance and bottled water are included from $90 per person, or $180 for two. It is a road tour with help taking pictures, not a studio-style shoot. Boulders and Cape Point entrance fees, meals, tips and wine tasting are extra. Choose it when you want pictures of your party at the Cape and a shorter day than the full eight hours.
Private cycle and drive day: both park fees included
This eight-hour day costs from $300 per person and includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, a bike or e-bike with helmet and equipment, a professional guide, water and snacks, a support vehicle and the national park fees for Boulders Beach and Cape Point. Lunch is extra. On the vehicle tour those fees come on top, which narrows the gap between the two. It suits active couples and friends who would rather ride part of the peninsula than watch it through a window. For the fee tables, see the entrance fees guide.
Private tour or small group?
A shared eight-hour day with pick-up, a guide, water and the Chapman's Peak fee starts at $45 per person, and a nine-hour small-group day with hotel pickup starts at $57. Against the $151 private day, two people pay $212 more in total than for the $45 trip. The shared day is the better choice when the budget matters more than the schedule. Go private when you want your own party in the vehicle all day or need the cycle format. Our Cape Peninsula tours comparison covers the shared options.
