Highlights
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.

Itinerary
Your tour guide will meet you at your accommodation in Cape Town or where ever else your accommodation is situated, 15mins before your tour (unless you’ve requested an alternative meeting time)
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!
Following your penguin encounter, your guide will lead you to the historic Jubilee Square, the vibrant heart of Simon’s Town. Here, you can soak in the panoramic harbor views, visit the famous statue of Just Nuisance, or enjoy a relaxed coffee or lunch at one of the many charming waterfront restaurants. It’s the perfect way to experience the local lifestyle and maritime atmosphere.
At the end of your trip your tour guide will drop you off at your desired drop off destination.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
