Reserve your spot on the Penguins Viewing, Cape of Goodhope and Winelands Region today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Stay on the boardwalks
Boardwalks protect the penguins’ nesting areas—keep a respectful distance and avoid sudden movements to prevent disturbance.
Dress in layers
Coastal weather changes quickly; bring a windproof layer and a sun layer for bright, exposed tasting yards.
Bring binoculars and a camera
Binoculars help spot birds and distant currents; a camera with a zoom gets closer without intruding on wildlife.
Carry ID for tastings
Most wine estates require valid ID for alcohol tastings—bring your passport or driver’s license to avoid disappointment.
Sturdy walking shoes
Grip for rocky boardwalks and short viewpoint trails at Cape Point and Boulders Beach.
Windproof jacket
Coastal winds can be strong year-round—layering keeps you comfortable between sites.
Binoculars or zoom lens
Improves wildlife viewing and photography without disturbing animals.
Reusable water bottle
Stay hydrated during the 8‑hour day; bottled water is provided but a refillable bottle reduces waste.
