Penguin Kayaking
Penguin Sea Kayak Trip
One
of the most unique places in the world - a penguin colony in suburban
Cape Town! And the best way to see it is from the water. We leave from
Simon's Town Waterfront and paddle past the civilian and Naval Harbour
and out to Boulder's Beach to see the penguins. If the time and tide is
right we may stop on a beach for a swimming break, or else we swim from
the kayaks.
Our double kayaks are very stable and perfect for those with no paddling experience and children 10 and up. By far our most popular trip.
During the whale season from August to October there is a good chance of seeing whales as well.
Professionally guided paddle trips every day weather permitting.Our kayaks are designed for maximum stability in all conditions. No experience is necessary and it's no more taxing than hiking up a hill. Age is no barrier - anyone with full mobility from 10 upwards can do it. All trips are led by knowledgeable and experienced professional guides.We see a penguins, sea birds, seals and sometimes whales.

Embarking from Simon’s Town Waterfront, your kayaking adventure sees you paddling gently past the civilian and naval harbour and right out to Boulder’s Beach where you’ll be introduced to the suave-suited penguin colony who reside there. Once you’ve had your fill of the tuxedoed sweethearts, if the tide and time are right you’ll stop off at the beach for a dip or just swim out from your kayaks.
If you’re asking yourself “kayaking in winter?” then know that from August to October, the route is an amazing whale-spotting opportunity. But, whether you’re gliding with the giants of the deep or picnicking with the penguins, make sure you dress accordingly; leaving those pretty pumps and blinging blazer at home in favour of a swimming suit or t-shirt and shorts combo.
Paddling fact: The oldest known form of kayaking was recorded by an Armenian Anthropologist who followed the Gorgonzola tribe in Italy. The Gorgonzola’s would fashion kayaks out of massive blocks of cheese and oars out of plaited dried spaghetti. The only problem posed was the vast amount of water-rats that would bite holes in the kayaks.
