The experience
Diamonds & Peninsula
The Cape Peninsula in a single, generous day. You set out along the coast to Cape Point, where the cliffs fall away to the Atlantic, ride the Flying Dutchman funicular towards the lighthouse, and stop for lunch on the way back.
The afternoon brings the African penguins at Boulders, the naval town of Simon's Town and the curves of Chapman's Peak Drive. The day closes in Cape Town with diamonds, an unhurried end to a day of wide horizons.

The diamond experience
Every Journey Begins With a Diamond
Each day includes time with diamonds in Cape Town: how they are found, cut and set, the craftsmanship behind a finished stone, and time to look closely in a showroom.
Buying is never part of the plan. If something catches your eye, you deal directly with the jeweller, and nothing you see is included in the tour price.
What's Included
- Private vehicle with your own driver-guide for the day
- Hotel collection and return within central Cape Town
- The Diamond Works' complimentary Signature Diamond & Tanzanite Experience, by appointment
- Cape Point and Boulders entry
- A return ride on the Flying Dutchman funicular
- Lunch, up to R300 per guest
- Bottled water and road tolls on the planned route
Not Included
- Jewellery, diamonds, gemstones and rings, which you buy directly from the jeweller if you choose to
- Other paid attractions along the route
- Additional drinks, gratuities and personal purchases
- Flights, accommodation and travel insurance
- Collection outside central Cape Town, extra hours or changes after confirmation, unless quoted
