Highlights
- Gordon’s Bay - Gordons Bay lies at the start of the iconic R44 Clarens Drive which snakes along the Eastern Coast of False Bay. The road is etched into the mountains which seem to plunge into the ocean. Although no stops are planned along this route, we do stop at points for photo opportunities. Sightings could include whales and baboons but the dramatic scenery is the real attraction.
- Stony Point Penguin Colony - Stony Point Harbor at Betty’s Bay was an active whaling station until 1930. It has a rich history but today is home to a colony of African Jackass Penguins. The site has been declared protected and is administered by Cape Nature. The penguins are viewed from walkways that allow easy viewing while not disturbing them. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring along your camera. The best place to enjoy lunch is at the local restaurant ON THE EDGE, we have never had a bad meal here.

Highly recommend - Simon is a great guide. Chill and layed back, his tour shows you the beauty of less discovered places.
You can stop at beautiful viewpoints and the drive itself is very beautiful.
Penguins are cool and the area around is very beautiful and unique.
Simon is also very flexible if you want to make extra stops on the way e.g. to taste wine.
In summary, highly recommend.

Great Tours! - Simon provided us with a great tour of the penguin colony at Bettys Bay! We were so happy that we booked a private curated 2 day tour with Simon after we got back from our Azamara cruise from Cape Town. Simon picked us up at the ship and dropped us off at the airport after the tour which was very convenient. Also provided us with photos of our tour!
Highly recommended!

Shake hands with a penguin at Betty’s Bay! - Betty’s Bay was an easy drive and worth the trip. The penguins were at the edge of, or in, the parking lot, so easy to find. They were friendly enough to let you walk within a few feet for a picture.
