Description

Begin your adventure with a scenic drive along the False Bay coastline, passing the historic Simon’s Town Naval Base and the working fishing harbor of Kalk Bay. Pause at Boulders Beach to meet its most famous residents—the charismatic African penguins. Then, slip into the African Sea Forest—a hidden, underwater wonderland swaying with golden kelp. Cape fur seals twist and twirl in the shallows, pajama sharks patrol the reefs, and octopuses melt into the rocky seascape before your eyes. After the dive, thaw out and trade ocean stories over a seaside coffee, soaking up panoramic views of the bay. The return trip takes you back along the storied coastline—no crowds, no rush—just raw wilderness, rich history, and an ocean memory that will stay with you long after the salt has dried.
