Penguin Watching
Boulders Beach is 40 minutes away from Cape Town and is home to a penguin colony and is also one of the very few places in the world where you can cross off swimming penguins. The colony is protected under the South Africa National Parks and will require a conservation fee to gain access. Once inside, you can frolic, swim and watch them paddle.
