Great views of the breeding penguins from the well maintained boardwalk and viewing points. Well worth paying for a pass to walk right out to get stunning sea backed views of the extensive colony. Keep an eye out for Dassies and lizards as it will add to your whole experience.

If you are visiting Boulders beach, you can give this a miss. Nothing much difference from Boulders beach but you can do if you are missing it as there are plenty of penguins here as well.The ticket can be bought on the site.

Excellent.There are endangered penguins and it's worth it to drive out here to see them in their (almost) natural habitat.The parking is ample though it does get crowded on free access days, but everyone is super friendly and polite.People are willing to help you take the pic that you were chasing.The entire walk is pretty short, but the path is well-marked and accessible for wheelchair users.There are also plenty of signage along the way to keep you informed as well as benches to sit and take it in.The smell isn't so great.Normal cost for entry is only R30 per person, and no Wild cards apply.

Stony Point is a beautiful setting with about 500m of board walks along which you walk to view the penguins that live and breed there. You can get right up close to them, but are not allowed to touch them as they do bite! There are also spectacular views of the ocean and mountains from the boardwalks!It is a fun place to bring younger kids for a short outing and for adults who want to see penguins up close.It costs R20 for adults and R10 for children, but because it was school holidays when we went, the kids got in for free.

Oh my goodness, what a lovely place to visit. With wheelchair access, making this spectacular place accessible to everyone. The penguins and cormorants are a special treat to see being so relaxed in their natural habitat. Even spotted some Oyster catchers. Waterdikkop and Egyptian geese. The boardwalk is an easy relaxing walk for everybody to enjoy with some seating areas available as you walk along. Take your time to enjoy the breathtaking views. I would suggest a beanie and warm jacket just in case.

Highly recommend visiting this breeding ground for the African penguin, we will all be lucky if these penguins will still be around in twenty years.It's worth paying the twenty five rand to do the walk along the reserve and show your support.

You can see penguins without entering the main reserve. After walking down from the car park turn left. However fewer penguins here than inside. Very cute creatures, but only protected from the human pathway by a rope. Hopefully no one harms them
