Greater Hermanus

Travel Guide

Why don’t you see penguins in Britain? Because they’re afraid of Wales 😂
Ok, this is a very stupid joke, but penguins live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, the Galapagos penguin, found north of the equator.

There's a penguin colony in South Africa which is less touristic and overpriced than the more famous Boulders Beach penguin colony. It's Stony point penguin colony, where you can observe penguins in an almost unspoiled area

Accommodation was OK but room 101 was right next to the reception area and was too noisy with people checking out and using the pathway next to the room to roll big noisy bins full of luggage from before 7 am. Avoid room 101 like the plague!!
