// what to expect

Embark on a unique experience and spend a few hours at one of the best beaches in Cape Town known as Boulder's Beach while swimming with the African Penguins. Take a walk on the boardwalk at Boulder's Penguins Colony and view one of the largest penguin colonies in South Africa. Get too close to the African penguins at the Main Penguin Colony and see them in the thousands before you spend 3 more hours laying down and white sandy beach with African penguins. Enjoy a drive along one of the most scenic routes in the world known as Chapman's Peak Drive. Marvel at the colourful houses in the Bo Kaap as you snap your Instagram moments with these historical houses as your backdrop. This is truly one of the most relaxing tours you can experience when travelling to Cape Town.
