Our Next stop is at the famous Boulders Beach home to some 2500 pairs of endagered African penguins. On this Tour, weather permitting, Guests are allowed to go swim with the penguins at own entrance fees account (ZAR 120 per adult) and we recommend that you bring a swimwear and towels should you wish to stop for a swim.

Boulders Beach which is next to Simon’s Town has a lot going for it: the ancient granite boulders protect it from the wind and large waves, unlike any other beach in Cape Town making it an ideal swimming spot for kids, moms and toddlers. The city of Cape Town is always keep the beach very clean and safe, as this along the Cape of Good Hope are part of Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. The beach itself is not always very busy or over crowded , and children find it easy to swim in the beautiful rockpools. But the soft white sand and warm(ish) waters are not the only reasons why thousands of visitors a year make their way along the coast, past Simon’s Town, to Boulders Beach. The local inhabitants in their beautiful black and white colours, the African penguins bring the masses to visit Boulders Beach one of the biggest Penguin colony in South Africa.

This is the highlight of the tour as we are now entering a national park for some spectacular sightseeing.The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa.

This is the meeting place of the two currents , the cold Benguela and the warm Agulhas. Prepare those Cameras for the souvenir photos behind the famous wooden board of Cape of Good Hope. An optional hike of up to 40 minutes from the Cape of Good Hope to the lighthouse will be allowed.
