Boulders Penguin Colony, Cape Town

Boulders Penguin Colony is home to a growing colony of the vulnerable African Penguin. Wooden walkways allow visitors to view the penguins in their natural habitat and there is also a new information centre. Children will love the penguins and their antics and Boulders Beach is also worth a stop for safe and enjoyable swimming.

TIME NEEDED: 1-hour to view the penguins

> Entrance fee of R35 for adults and R10 for children under the age of 12. This gives access to the beach as well as the walkways and viewpoints.

> TIP: Combine a trip to see the penguins with a few hours on Boulders Beach, or a few hours in the quaint and historical town of Simon's Town. The penguins can also be visited before or after a visit to Cape Point.
