I will do it again - Paul (my guide) was super, he came before 9:00. Friendly and makes you feel comfortable and safe. Best thing is when he drops of you to see the sites it’s reassuring when he tells you where’s he going to be waiting for you when you are done.

Fabulous Half Day Tour with Seals and Penguins - Had an excellent tour with Chris. He took us to Hoet Bay to see the seals, then Boulders Beach to see the African Penguins, with some stops at local beauty spots on the way and explaining some local history too.
The boat trips at Hoet Bay were very frequent so we were on one practically as soon as we arrived. Boulders Beach was beautiful.
Highly recommend.

Good price but not well planned and prepared - Seal island was a good experience as we could not make it on time for boulders Beach, we started off at seal island but could only get 2h00 sail as the 11h30 one was booked and they only opened at that time whereas we thought we will get the 9h00 drive, in future make prior booking to be sure of times as the pendemic has affected all working hours, we got to boulders and it was closed already at 4. Surely the times were not checked there as well. Chris was very passient and tried he's best making up for the time we had to wait for 14h00 to seal island, I he knew the times we could have done all in the max of 3 hours. I'm going to boulders Beach now this morning, at my own expense of which is not pleasant, since I've spent already and the error done on your side.
