One of the most unique places in the world - a penguin colony in suburban Cape Town! And the best way to see it is from the water. We leave from Simon's Town Waterfront and paddle past the civilian and Naval Harbor and out to Boulder's Beach. On the way you will normally encounter a number of seals. If the time and tide is right you may stop on a beach for a swimming break, or else you can swim from the kayaks and get a close-up look at penguins nearby.
Our double kayaks are very stable and perfect for those with no paddling experience.
