- Wombling_Free_7548Bristol, United Kingdom2,170 contributionsAll the penguinsWe went at 5pm and it wasn’t busy. Bought our tickets from the booth near the car park and walked down to the beach - No penguins! But then realised there was a boardwalk behind the beach, which took us to the penguins. Lots of penguins chilling out in dry land by the boardwalk. And then loads on the beach. Gorgeous views too.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 October 2023
- Lewis and Miss Gucci Travels39 contributionsPenguins for days, if that's your thingIt was fun visiting the penguins and watching them play in the sea. It is rammed with tourists so pick a good time in the day. Its also on the way to Cape of good hope so makes sense to combine the two.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 October 2023
- 1957Ottawa, Canada991 contributionsEnjoying the penguins..Part of our Gate 1 tour, we drove and visited this area where there is a colony of endangered Penguins. There is a boardwalk to get to the penguins. Beautiful area to enjoy, to take pictures of them. As you leave the area there is a gift shop and an African market.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 6 November 2023
- KatherineManchester, United Kingdom522 contributionsAmazing!It was on my Bucket List!We parked up and to the first counter and realised it was for the beach. So made our way on a 10minute walk to the main Penguin area. This is were you pay to view the Penguins from the decks. It was amazing to see the Penguins but disappointed that we didn’t get up close to them as we had seen on videos. On our walk back to the first counter for the beach we noticed people on the Boulders and penguins through the green bushes. We then paid to enter the beach and made our way over the Boulders which wasn’t easy if you don’t like heights or small spaces. What we did see was loads of penguins it was a dream come true and a truly amazing experience.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 8 November 2023
- Richard GThunder Bay, Canada54 contributionsA neat site to check out. The African penguins are amazing and fun to see.A neat site to check out. The African penguins are amazing and fun to see. The site is a simple walk to get too and is a beautiful setting with the boulders and rocks around. No regrets here on seeing this and highly recommended!Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 29 December 2023
- StormyWindLondon, United Kingdom387 contributionsUp Close and Personal with PenguinsThis beach is utterly divine. A small bay with powder white sand and translucent green water, you can literally swim around the boulders and hang next to penguin. It was very crowded because it was Christmas Eve but thia didn’t detract from our experience. The walkway is really nicely done and there’s plenty of opportunity to see penguins up close and to observe them surfing in to the beach. A (for SA) fairly steep fee is charged but to conserve this beach and habitat for the penguins it’s worth it. Very special.Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 1 January 2024
- marguerete rKitwe, Zambia71 contributionsLovely experienceThis is a truly magical experience and love to see wild animals in their natural habitat rather then a Zoo as such. Overall very good experience and definitely worth a full day with some leisure time at the beach. It was magical to swim in between these amazing species and see them enjoying their natural homes.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 January 2024
- John PUnited Kingdom36 contributionsPlenty of PenguinsAmazing number of Jackal penguins - yes they sound like jackals! At least a proper number of penguins. There is an entrance fee and they have built a walkway to keep us humans out from getting too close - but still lovely to see these little guys waddling on a hot beach in South AfricaVisited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 January 2024
- AdhinaSouth Africa257 contributionsSpectacularThis is a must visit, although geared for tourists there is a local rate as well. Was a little overcast when we visited but still enjoyed viewing the penguins in their habitat. My child left with a new obsession for these little tuxedo birdsVisited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 31 January 2024
- Jens MVaerloese, Denmark65 contributionsMust see experience.I first visited here 26 years ago and remember it to this day. Now returning with my own family there was no way I wasn't going to make a repeat visit to show my kids. Well worth the entry fee (although I don't remember there actually being an entry fee 26 years earlier).Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 February 2024
