The African penguin colony at Boulders occupies a granite shore inside Table Mountain National Park.
A guided kayak sees that coastline from False Bay while keeping the birds' protected space intact.

Experience FAQ
Kayak past Boulders penguin colony
Q01Do kayaks enter the penguin colony?
No. The route remains on the water outside protected nesting areas and follows the operator's wildlife-distance rules.
Q02Will penguins swim beside us?
They may be seen in the area, but no close encounter or sighting can be promised.
Plan with Alex
Plan a False Bay kayak
Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.
We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
