    Overview

    If you want to see the must-see spots but also some un-touristy spots then this is for YOU. No day is the same and no animal stays in the same place, so why stick to a pre-determined itinerary? Let the day's adventure unfold based on real-time animal sightings and the day's conditions. Connect with, and intimately understand, one of the most productive oceans in the world whilst meeting the locals - African penguins and humpback whales, anemones & sea stars, baboons & bontebok. Take a breather from the rigours of travel as we slow things down, tasting the best tea & rusks in all of Cape Town (on a sheltered & secluded shoreline, far from the crowds!) Bring a swim suit if you dare... Next up, lunch is served at a local deli - leaving you healthy, light & very full (well priced). Your adventure will end where it began - a skip and a jump from wine estates, beaches, and the Cape Town city centre - avoiding traffic and queues everywhere you go!

    One cannot visit Cape Town without stopping by the curious penguins of Boulders beach. An early start is the best way to have an intimate (and respectful) encounter with the African penguins on their morning routine. Visiting the main tourist walkway is optional and priced at R176 for foreign travellers.
