Secret Cape Town: Kayak with penguins

Boulders Beach is famous for its colony of African penguins, but the best way of seeing them in their element is by taking a kayak trip there. Wear boardshorts or a swimming costume, T-shirt, hat and sunblock and bring a change of clothing for afterwards. The trips are weather dependent, so make sure you check the forecast well in advance.
