Cute!

These little fellas are as cute as can be! While you don’t get to wander amongst them you do have a great vantage point from the walkway. If you are lucky you can find them nesting with the chicks as well.

Great way to see the penguins with limited time

Many thanks for working with us so we could see Cape Town and the penguins on our unexpected 24 hour layover. We learned interesting facts about the city and made it back to our hotel with plenty of time to catch our next flight. I hope we’ll be able to come back one day and stay longer.

Boulder beach visit.

Was just myself and my husband on this so we were able to skip 2 stop locations as had been them already via hop on / off bus. Got to spend more time looking at penguins!!! Had to queue to get onto beach after seeing penguins.probably shouldn’t have as already had ticket but not well signposted so being a super polite UK citizen I stood in Q! Hand day was long enough but not if doing the other 2 stops…. Hout Bay and Camps Bay.

Want to see Penguins. Have a great time!

Don't expect a lot of activities. The place is lovely if you're interested in seeing Penguins. Many Penguins are sitting on eggs in March. The guide, Samuel, was wonderful. He explained the entire history of the South African nation while we were going there as well as pointing out interesting sights and stopping for photos. He also stopped for us to eat lunch at a lovely place. He paid for himself and we paid for us. An excellent guide with a good meet of humor.

Good driver but bad weather

Charles was a good driver and pointed out various interesting points throughout the trip. I would go with him again. Unfortunately the beach location was extremely windy this morning so it was not very pleasant.

Bo Kaap and Penguins !

Charles was very good , I like to be able to choose my day and take my time in areas of interest . We both like to take lots of pictures and he was very obliging in stopping the car so I could capture another image . Rather than a presentation of info Charles would answer a question if we asked . Definitely a better way for us ! Thank you Charles it was a great day!

Great Experience but Room for more depth

We had a wonderful time on this tour! The operator was fantastic, and the overall experience was enjoyable. However, we would have loved a bit more historical context and depth during the tour. Most of the information felt surface-level, and adding more detailed insights could make the experience even better. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Nice day trip combined with Cape of Good Hope

Nice trip especially for family with kids, make sure you go further to Cape of Good Hope since it will be too far to come back too and both in the same time is a good time. Also I liked Simon town on the way.
