Visiting Boulders Beach and the African penguin colony is not to be missed. Such a beautiful setting and hundreds of penguins to see in their natural habitat. Great photo opportunities and a joy to watch the penguins up close.

was very nice to get so close to the penguins and got some great photos. It did get a little crowded at one point as you are only allowed on walkways for obvious reasons. Very reasonably priced too. defiantly worth a visit
