City Sightseeing Cape Town’s famous red bus tours have always offered a great glimpse into all that Hout Bay has to offer but now, the tour bus company has made its Hout Bay stops more exciting than ever before.

This is because Mother City locals and visitors can now enjoy a truly unique Hout Bay experience, as part of City Sightseeing’s Blue Mini Peninsula Tour.

The tour, which departs daily from the Two Oceans Aquarium office, takes guests via Long Street to Orange Street and the Mount Nelson Hotel, before it heads to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, up Constantia Nek and then down into beautiful Hout Bay.

The Hout Bay part of the Blue Mini Peninsula Tour experience kicks off at World of Birds and Monkey Jungle, where guests can hop off and enjoy exploring this nature-focused, familyfriendly outing.

Thereafter, the tour proceeds to the Mariners Wharf and Hout Bay Harbour. Here, guests can enjoy everything from the charming harbour atmosphere to Seal Island boat tours, fresh fish and chips and access to the popular Hout Bay Market.

Next, it’s off to Sentinel Precinct, where guests can explore the Hout Bay Harbour Distillery, Bay Harbour Market, Fish on the Rocks, Snoekies, Sinnfull Ice Cream, Urban Craft Brewery, a host of local art galleries and of course, the historical Hout Bay West Battery, a unique site that features a selection of old cannons, which once played a vital role in defending the bay from attackers.

After the Hout Bay stops, the bus heads onto Camps Bay, the President Hotel and some fun Sea Point and Green Point stops before heading back to the V&A Waterfront.
