Art Out of Plastic & Rogue Penguins

Single-day Experience
Make this experience a part of your trip.

Observe a colony of African penguins in an off-the-beaten-track location as well as see how plastic trash can be transformed into colorful art. The quirky character of the Cape Peninsula will come to light as you explore the surfing mecca of Muizenberg and the bohemian village of Kalk Bay. Even the wildlife is a bit unusual, especially at Boulders Beach - the home of a splinter colony of African penguins. A conservationist will describe the challenges of these endangered birds, explain how they are being protected, and offer you the chance for a closer look by kayaking among the penguins just offshore. Despite the beauty of the cape, trash and insufficient waste management continue to jeopardize the environment. Following a picnic lunch, join local artists to create art out of plastic trash and learn how this effort has positively affected the community.

Insider Tip

Make sure to dress in weather-appropriate clothing, wear flat comfortable walking shoes and a bathing suit under shorts or a cover-up. Don't forget to bring a towel and jacket in case conditions change.
