Penguin Paradise - It was wonderful to see these amazing penguins. I was able to come almost face to face with one of them. I liked observing them doing their daily activities.

Penguin tour Boulders Beach - We had a fabulous guide for the day called Yves from Kendzi travel. He picked us up on time from our hotel and introduced us to the other guests on the tour. There were about 10 of us. He was charming and informative throughout the tour and gave us ample stops to get beautiful pictures. The Penguins were gorgeous and we had around two hours free time to wander around the area and watch them. It was excellent value for money .

Great tour - This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide name was Yves and he was great. His personality was awesome and he was very informative. We got to see some beautiful areas and the penguins was a delight to see. The beach was beautiful and the penguins are right in the water between the boulders. You can get up close to them but don’t touch the penguins. I would definitely do this again.

Boulder Beach - The views and penguins were amazing. The route to the beach is quite windy and may cause some car sickness so be prepared.
