First Time
If you thought you needed to go to Antartica to see penguins, you are wrong! Join as we take you on a joyful trip to the penguin colony at Boulders Beach to see these adorable munchkins in South Africa!
This half-day trip begins from the capital city of Cape Town. From here, we will head towards the town jetty and hop on our double kayaks to cruise the clear waters of False Bay.
Our kayaks are well suited for everyone. All you have to do is sit back and relax. We paddle all year round, however, winters months are excellent as the weather is balmy and you might as well spot some whales!
We will meet at the town jetty at Simon’s Town and brief you about the paddling techniques and safety measures. And off we go!
To reach the beach, we paddle past the Naval Harbor. Here you will see giant naval vessels parked in the sea. It is not uncommon to sight Cape Fur seals on our way. The journey to the beach is breathtaking! Finally, we’ll reach the Boulders Beach.
You will be amused to see these lovely penguins frolicking on the beach. If the tide is right, we will take a break for a cool swim. After taking a close look at these delightful aquatic birds, we will head back to the jetty, marking an end to a joyful experience.
So, what are you waiting for? It is not every day that you get to visit penguins in South Africa! Send us a request and we will ensure you have an incredible trip.
Can’t get enough of South Africa? We also guide this 4-day walking safari in the Kruger National Park!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
