Escape the city for a seamless half-day journey to the charming coastal village of Simon’s Town, the gateway to the world-famous Boulders Beach.
Your experience begins with a scenic drive into the heart of Simon’s Town, where Victorian architecture meets the salty breeze of False Bay. At Boulders Beach, you’ll walk along protected boardwalks through one of the only places on Earth where these charismatic birds thrive in their natural habitat.
You’ll also have the chance to explore the history of Simon's Town in Jubilee Square, stopping for a coffee or lunch at a local waterfront café.
From the naval heritage of the village to the white sands of the penguin colony, this tour captures the very best of the Cape’s coastal magic.

2Boulders Beach Penguin Colony
Experience Boulders Beach at your own pace in two distinct ways to enjoy the penguin colony: The Boardwalks: Wander the elevated pathways of Foxy Beach for an incredible bird’s-eye view of the nesting pairs. It’s the ultimate spot for wildlife photography, allowing you to see the penguins waddling and socializing just inches away from the platforms. The Beach & Water: After the boardwalks, head down to the sandy shores of Boulders Beach where you can swim in the calm, turquoise inlets. Since the water is sheltered from the wind, it’s a perfect spot for a dip—and you might even find a penguin swimming alongside you!
