What travelers are saying
- MicheleCrawley, UK330 contributionsStopped here enroute from Hermanus to Strusbaaai on our garden route tour. We followed google maps to the walker bay reserve - there are two entrances for the cave system. One sign was a lot further up and I believe you visit multiple caves before ending in the large boardwalk cave.
However, we didn’t want a long walk, so we drove up to the end part (as per google maps) and paid the car entrance fee on the gate. As we drove into the car park it was completly empty! There are some toilets to the left if needed. We followed the stairs down to the shore and walked the boardwalk to the start of the rocks. Some climbing is needed and I don’t think it’s for the faint hearted as the sea is coming in!! However, we are both quite unfit and we’re fine ☺️
When you go into the first cave it’s lovely, but go through the back of it and you’ll enter the massive cave with board walks and signs explaining the history. It was simply stunning and highly recommend!!Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A very worthwhile cause to support while in the area - have a cup of coffee and a chat - the staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the penguins.

- Trek695132Cape Town, South Africa3 contributionsSarah and her team went out of their way to make sure we had an incredible time. The horses are well trained, responsive, safe and well cared for. The tack is clean and comfortable. After a short ride to the beach, we cantered on the most stunning beach imaginable! After a short break with drinks and snacks, we rode in the dunes, which was an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and experienced, and made sure we had fun. We were offered the opportunity to swim with the horses in the ocean, which we declined, but we will definitely be returning to experience this in the Summer months! This beach ride was the highlight of our trip along the Garden Route.
Beautiful scenery, safe horses and kind staff!Written October 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My expectations changed completely during the activity making it even better, the team guided, helped and advised us at all times so that we only had to focus on enjoying the experience and the sharks. It was also quite educational about what we were doing and what we were seeing. The views of the sharks underwater could not be more spectacular and it is highly recommended to take the opportunity if you are in or around Cape Town. Totally recommended.Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RachelOliveiraLondon, UK40 contributionsWe had an exceptional experience on the Marine Big 5 tour, where we had the pleasure of spotting seals, whales, and penguins. As with any safari, sightings can vary, but the team made the effort to show us as many animals as possible while keeping us well-informed throughout. We were particularly impressed by the company's commitment to penguin conservation. Visiting their center to see the penguins being fed and swimming was incredible!Written July 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
