Cape Town, Penguin Watching at Boulders Beach Half Day Tour

Boulders Beach, Cape Town, South Africa

Kenzi Travel and Tours

Explore the captivating world of African penguins at Boulders Beach during a half-day guided tour. Enjoy swimming or lounging along the pristine shore as you witness these playful creatures up close.



Upon departing Cape Town, our tour embarks upon its inaugural journey, initiating its exploration at Maidens Cove. Here, the panoramic vistas stretching across the Atlantic seaboard unfold beneath an array of mesmerizing natural landscapes. As we traverse through Chapmans Peak Drive, renowned for its exceptional beauty, we pause at various lookout points offering breathtaking perspectives of Hout Bay Harbour and Noordhoek Beach.

Next, we reach Boulders Beach, where a dedicated team educates us about the enigmatic African Jackass Penguins, whose presence is both fascinating and endearing. Despite their familiarity with human interaction, these creatures remain protected species; therefore, visitors are prohibited from approaching them or feeding them.

From this vantage point, we engage in a serene observation of the penguins as they diligently perform their daily routines. This enchanting experience culminates in a relaxed afternoon spent basking in the sun's warmth, swimming alongside the penguins in the cool waters, or exploring the diverse surroundings adjacent to the beach.

Our tour concludes with a captivating visit to Boyes Drive, a majestic mountain road providing an unparalleled vista of the False Bay coastline. Following this exhilarating adventure, we return to our accommodation, concluding our unforgettable journey in a picturesque setting.
