Absolutely breathtaking. The huge white boulders against the aquamarine colour of the sea is picturesque. Very small swimming area, an entrance fee is payable. Comfortable wooden walkways with many interesting things to see on the way. Viewing area is little small, and an entrance fee is payable.
Our Yves was excellent. Throughout our journey, he very informative regards historical events at each destination. Very knowledge person. We had a great time.
A must visit place while visiting Cape Town. Penguins are not found everywhere hence seeing these here in wild and natural setting is not to be missed. I visited the place in October, when it was spring season at this place, I must say this is the best time to visit Cape Town. It is about a 1.5 hours journey from Cape town, however the journey in between is so pretty that you enjoy every bit of it. Along the journey you are passing on a coastal road which has breath taking sea views. Also, you pass through beautiful mountains covered with very beautiful natural flora and fauna that you would not have seen in any other part of the world. The natural wild flowers of this area are very unique. Once you reach the Boulders beach, you need to park your transport in the parking area, then you have to walk for some time to reach the Boulders beach. The walk itself is interesting. You have many souvenir shops in between and a proper souvenir shop at the boulders beach. On this way little children dressed in traditional dresses were dancing and singing local songs to entertain the visitors. You can join the dancing and have fun or you can have some pictures with them. Boulders beach itself is very pretty. Clear blue sae water, white sand, proper pathways to reach the beach and the Penguins itself. It was very much full of fun. Fully recommended.
We had an amazing half-day tour in Cape Town with our guide, Patrick. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts and stories about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. His sense of humor and friendly personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Patrick took us to some truly stunning spots that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own — the views were absolutely breathtaking! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better way to experience Cape Town in just a few hours. Highly recommended!
Very lucky to had a tour guide like Bizo. Very proffessional guide, from the pick up to drop off. Bizo has a lot of knowledge for all the history and geography of the places we visited. he made the tour interesting and fun for the whole group. Thank you!
The tour exceeded expectations by some distance. Prompt pick up from hotel and transport was excellent. Good quality audio allowed us to hear our guide clearly. Our guide Guyon was amazing. Knowledgeable, flexible, friendly and patient and brought the whole experience alive. Plenty of stops to allow photographs etc and Guyon’s insights were totally on point. We thought at the time of booking this would turn out to be little more than a taxi for the day but turned out to be a real holiday highlight!!!
Coco our tour guide was excellent gave us lots of history on cape town
Boulders Beach in Cape Town is an absolute gem! 🐧 The highlight, of course, is getting up close to the adorable African penguins — it’s such a unique experience watching them waddle around . The beach itself is stunning, with crystal-clear water and huge granite boulders that make it feel like a private little paradise. It’s a great spot for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and the ocean. The water can be a bit chilly, but it’s perfect for a refreshing dip on a hot day. Make sure to bring your camera — the views and penguins are picture-perfect! 📸 Definitely one of Cape Town’s must-visit attractions!
Boulders Beach, near Simon’s Town outside Cape Town, is a truly special place — beautiful, charming, and full of personality. The sheltered cove formed by ancient granite boulders creates calm, clear pools perfect for swimming, especially for children or anyone wanting gentler waters. Its biggest draw, of course, is the African penguin colony: watching them waddle, swim, nest, and interact is both heartwarming and unforgettable. Facilities are decent — boardwalks, viewing platforms, parking, restrooms and a little shop. Heads up: it gets busy, especially mid-day, and there’s an entrance fee (which goes toward conservation). Also, since the penguins are wild, one must be careful, respectful, and follow all rules about maintaining distance. Overall, Boulders Beach is a must-visit if you’re in Cape Town — scenic, serene, and seeing penguins in nature makes the trip truly worthwhile.
You will learn so much about these magnetic and majestic creatures, this is an absolute must stop. The area itself is gorgeous and the beach has truly breathtaking views. We saw a lot of wildlife in the area besides penguins, but the penguins were the highlight. While a bit emotional learning of some of the statistics about the penguins, they seem to really try to be bringing the numbers up for the population. The penguins have little “houses” to help with breeding and caring for young. The signs have a lot of information and the walk to the actual penguins themselves is a comfortable walk down a slope. The price isn’t bad and helps conservation efforts. They have bathrooms and a small gift shop at the top. The penguins themselves were very pretty and even took a dip in the ocean when we were visiting. There are two viewing spots to see the penguins themselves, both are accessible from the same area. Make a stop to see the wonderful penguins and get some great photos of them in their natural habitat!
