Sightseeing

The World of Birds is the biggest Bird Park in Africa, and it doesn't only have birds. You can have an encounter with squirrel monkeys, see buck, llama, goats, tortoises, meerkats and lemurs. Great for kids and bird enthusiasts alike.

Called Duiker Island because of the large amount of duikers (birds) living on the island, but known as Seal Island to the locals, because of the large amount of Cape Fur Seals living on this rock too! You can get a boat with 1 of 3 tour companies to see this island. Try take the trip that goes to the shipwreck too, and don't bother with glass bottom anything - you can never see clearly through the glass anyway!

Parks & Nature

You can either just drive up Chapman's Peak, stop at a picnic spot and watch the sunset, or you can hike the short distance to the actual top of the peak and see over the whole of Cape Town from Table Mountain to Cape Point and across to Strand. If you ask at the toll for a free day pass, you can't drive all the way over to Noordhoek, but you can get to all the best picnic spots and the start of the hiking trail - just be sure to return directly after sunset, or they will charge you the full toll!

Come here for an informal South African Style Pub. A wide variety of people come here, but hardly ever tourists. The jukebox ensures that the music is for ever changing and the teeny tiny bar means it never gets too packed that you can't find a place to sit.

The ABC has a nice vibe, great food, awful cocktails and sometimes, live bands. It's on the water's edge with a stunning view of Chapman's Peak and the yachts in the harbour.
