The journey to Boulders Beach is as spectacular as the destination. As we wind along the False Bay coastline, keep your eyes on the ocean—it is common to spot Southern Right Whales (in season), dolphins frolicking in the surf, and seals sunning themselves on the rocks. We pass through the historic naval village of Simon’s Town, where you’ll see the famous statue of Just Nuisance and charming Victorian architecture. Once at Boulders Beach, you’ll come face-to-face with the famous African Penguin colony. You can walk along the wooden boardwalks to see them nesting, or even head down to the beach to see them waddling between the massive, ancient granite boulders that give the area its name.

On our way through this quirky seaside suburb, keep a lookout for the iconic "Kalk Bay Seals" lounging on the harbor walls alongside the brightly colored traditional fishing boats. As we drive along the Main Road, you'll see a mix of bohemian art galleries, upscale boutiques, and famous local landmarks like the historic Kalk Bay Theatre. The atmosphere is always buzzing, and if the tide is right, you might even see local surfers catching waves at the world-famous "Kalk Bay Reef." It is the perfect place to experience the authentic, salty charm of the South African coastline.

09:15 AM – Maiden’s Cove & Camps Bay A quick stop for iconic photos of Camps Bay beach and the mountain range. The Staria’s elevated seating gives you a perfect vantage point even before you step out.

10:00 AM – Hout Bay & Seal Island (Optional) Arrive at the vibrant Hout Bay Harbour. You have the option to take a 45-minute boat trip to Duiker Island to see thousands of Cape Fur Seals, or simply enjoy a fresh "fish and chips" snack at the docks.

11:00 AM – Chapman’s Peak Drive The highlight of the drive. We wind along the 9km cliffside pass. This is where your Staria shines—the floor-to-ceiling windows offer an immersive view of the 500m drop to the Atlantic below.

02:00 PM – Coastal Lunch in Simon’s Town We head to the historic naval town of Simon's Town for lunch. I can recommend several "hidden gems" overlooking the False Bay yacht club.
