This half day fun-filled tour will bring you to see the penguins in Cape Town South Africa at the Penguin Sanctuary in Simonstown. Boulders beach in Simon’s Town is home to the African Penguin colony, also known as the jackass penguins because their loud cry sounds just like a donkey’s bray.
Before setting out to see the Boulders Beach penguins, the tour starts from Cape Town city with a picturesque drive along the beautiful Atlantic Sea Board, stretching from the popular V&A Waterfront in the bay beneath Table Mountain, all the way along the Cape Peninsula to Hout Bay. We'll pass the trendy promenades of Camps Bay and the beautiful beaches of Clifton and Llandudno, playground of the rich and famous.
As a furry preview to the penguins, we will make a seal stop in Hout Bay, where you may like to take a ferry to Duiker Island to see a large colony of thousands of Cape Fur Seals in their natural environment. Duiker Island is also known as Seal Island. Hout Bay is also home to surfers' paradise Dungeons Reef, where the annual Red Bull Big Wave surfing competition is held in winter. We'll catch the penguins on the flip side of the Hout bay breakers and their big wave riders.
Finally we make our way to Simon’s Town for some African penguin viewing. At Boulder’s beach, you can take your time to observe the penguins behaviour, with good views from the walkway above their coves and nesting sites, with the birds free in their natural environment. One pair of African Penguins settled in Boulders Beach in 1983 and since then the penguin colony has grown rapidly. Study their fascinating habits up close and guess what, if you are brave enough to take the chilly plunge, then Boulders Beach South Africa is the only place in the world where you can swim with the penguins!

 You've heard all about safaris in South Africa, and you happen to be touring Cape Town because it is the most fabulous place to be, but you're worried that you can only view the Big Five wildlife wonders at the Kruger National Park… worry no more, your Cape Town Safari Tour awaits you.
There are several game farms and game reserves within 2.5 hours drive from Cape Town, where a variety of wild animal species can be viewed, stalked and admired including the Big Five game.
On our safari tour game drive, we’ll go searching far and wide for these sort-after herds in remote spots and secret lairs; because you know of course that the Big 5 do not hang out together because that would be pretty cramped as far as attitudes and space go. The big game animals that make up the term Big Five are the Lion, the African Elephant, the Buffalo, the Leopard and the Rhinoceros. They are South Africa’s biggest crowd pullers.
But since were dishing out points and pointers, don't let the Big 5 hog all the attention because in South Africa and the Western Cape, there are loads of wild animals and birds to take happy snaps of, such as the long-legged giraffe and the giant-egged Ostrich.
So FS Tours will help you to combine this safari tour with your Cape Town holiday or travel.
Because these animals do their best to stay out of human sight, you’ll need our expert tour guide to track them down with you. So for a truly African game experience discuss your wildlife wonderings with our qualified tour guide and plan your safari adventure today. Or were you were actually hoping to catch up with the Jack-ass penguin, or the Southern Right Whale?
This safari tour departs at 06h00 to catch those early riser animals at the watering holes.
We return to Cape Town city at about 17h00.
The Safari tour costs R1950pp including transport from Cape Town accommodation, breakfast and lunch, and for 4 or more people we can arrange private transport. |

The shark cage diving adventure to Gansbaai near Cape Town will put you face to face with a great white shark. You'll be diving with experts in the safety of the shark cage, so all you need to know is how to hold your breath and hum the soundtrack to JAWS.
Got a thing for these great white sea prowlers, then shark cage diving is just the thing for you, assuming you weren’t hoping to bump into one of these stealth-mode dive buddies accidently someday while wading in shallow waters off the coast of False Bay. The cage dive option may be more favourable for longevity, don't you think?
And as they say, safety in numbers, so invite a few friends to experience this chilling but worth it shark cage diving day trip, and we're sure it'll be your best birthday or unbirthday celebration ever.
This tour leaves early from Cape Town by bus or private transportation, depending on the number of great white shark divers you plan to squeeze into your cage, and then it's a suspense building 2 hour drive to Dyer Island, the shark cage diving capital of South Africa.
After this escapade, some people say that these great white fishies, measuring up to 6m in length and weighing in at 2250kg, are curious and playful like boisterous puppies, which makes me wonder why we need the shark cage to view them up close and personal?! Why not find out for yourself what it feels like to be on the inside of the cage surrounded by hungry dangerous predators, book today, it's surreal dude!

Wanting to take a day trip north from Cape Town to see some wild flowers on the West Coast? The famous wild flowers of Postberg in the West Coast National Park can be viewed in spring during the months of August and September. When the Cape Strandveld wildflowers are in full bloom, they are a breath-taking sight, decorating the fields with textured weaves of colour as far as the eye can see. Many annual events are planned around the wildflower spectacle, such as the Darling Wildflower Show, exhibiting the largest variety of South African indigenous flowers.
The wildflower season isn’t the only attraction of this tour, the stretch of coastline leading up from Cape Town towards the boundary with the Northern Cape is a beautiful expanse of rural scenery well-liked by birdwatchers for the abundant sea bird populations, including gannets and Cormorants.
The Cape West Coast is also peppered with quaint historic towns and rustic fishing villages, which offer fresh and delicious seafood, such as Snoek, Crayfish and mussels, to be enjoyed when we break for lunch while overlooking the unrestrained beaches and lagoons. Whales, dolphins and seal sightings provide much amusement and entertainment to the visitors and locals of the West Coast. The West Coast National Park is a must-see place for every eco-tourist, with rich fauna and flora, Cape fynbos and lots of natural history to discover.
When winding our way back towards Cape Town, we’ll tour through the beautiful Durbanville Wine Region to enjoy a wine tasting of premium quality South African Saunvignon Blanc wines, a favoured production for this wine region due to the cool sea breezes off the Atlantic Ocean.
This day trip breakaway from the city will help you relax, unwind, and rediscover nature… book your trip up the West Coast today.
