Winter chill along this coast caught us off guard, pack warmer layers than expected.
Boulders Beach penguins waddling around us was hands down the highlight for our youngest. She talks about it even now weeks after we got back home. Watching them swim so close to where we were standing felt genuinely special. Worth building extra time into the day just for this stop.
Boulders Beach and the Cape of Good Hope were everything we hoped for. My one grumble is that the day felt a touch rushed, we barely had twenty minutes with the penguins before being ushered back to the van.
Knysna Heads views where lagoon meets ocean had all of us standing in silence.
The penguins at Boulders Beach and the two-oceans drama at the Cape of Good Hope bookended our trip perfectly. My husband and I loved that there was as much for us as for the children, and nobody was bored for a minute.
The Knysna Heads, where the lagoon meets the ocean, left all four of us silent, kids included.
