Overview

Meet these unique birds which cannot fly and bray like a donkey during this 5 hour tour. At Boulders Beach situated along False Bay, just outside Simon’s Town, you will come in close contact with African penguins

It would be a fun-filled day allowing you to interact with our very own Boulders Beach African penguin colony. A top class professional driver/guide will share the history of this area as you travel in luxury air-conditioned vehicles stocked with bottled water.

The itinerary would take you around the most spectacular routes around Chapman’s Peak to Simons Town after being picked up at your hotel between 8h30 and 9h30.

Then, our tuxedo-clad feathered friends await us on one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. Remember to pack a swimming costume and towel if you wish to swim with the penguins. Even mums and toddlers can enjoy this as it is safe. At the end of the day you will be dropped off at your hotel.

  • Admission ticket not included
3 minutes travel time to Boulders beach which is home to the endangered African penguin. It is also one of the only 2 mainland penguin colonies in South Africa.

There is an active lifeguard community who utilise the beach and bay for training
Kalk Bay (Pass by)
