Amazing fun, insightful and inspirational! - We booked this as an activity on our honeymoon and loved every second of it! Terry and the team were very welcoming. We chose an early morning slot, which meant it was lovely and quiet - the perfect start to any day. Terry was so knowledgeable and passionate about the penguins, which was infectious. We learned so much from him about their behaviour, which we were able to observe really clearly from the water. It's safe to say it's a much better experience than being among the crowds on the beach! It's also obvious how much he cares for these amazing animals (and other species) and strives to help them, so you can rest assured your money is going to a very good place if you book with Shark Warrior.

A great way to spend an afternoon - This was a real highlight of our trip across Southern Africa. Despite us being late due to traffic, Terry waited and still took us out paddling.
His knowledge of the local area, penguins, seals, sharks and birds was incredible. As we paddled he spoke to us about conservation and overfishing which was really interesting. We saw loads of penguins and seals and had a really enjoyable time out on the water.
I highly recommend booking this activity, it’s well priced, suitable for anyone and what you see with Terry’s knowledge provides an unforgettable experience. Thank you - we had a great time!

Fantastic trip with Terry - I’m not usually keen on group trips but this one was definitely one I was glad I did! Terry was so knowledgeable and interesting along with his two guides. We saw penguins, seals and birds - all from a safe distance and with no impact on them at all. Best day out!

Recommended excursion! - A very enjoyable experience with our host Terry. Shark Warrior Adventures is situated very close to the penguins - less rowing and more time with the penguins. We were also joined by a lonely seal that swam between the kayaks.

Phenomenal penguin and wildlife experience - What an experience! We opted to see Boulders Beach from the sea and I am so glad we did! We were able to have incredible views of the penguins, seals and even were hoping by 2 whales!!! Oh and then we were greeted back on the beach by some baboons! Wow! Terry was our guide and was phenomenal, passionate and knowledgeable. We booked our tour through AWOL adventures who then connected us with Shark Warrior. This was the most perfect day to experience everything at Boulders beach. I wish we had more time to do diving/snorkeling with Shark Warrior… we will save that for our next trip. I would not have wanted to do this any other way. Thank you!!

An Unforgettable Experience! - ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! Terry is so knowledgable about penguins and his care and warmth come thru during the whole trip. We had a group of baby penguins swim right by our kayaks! I also saw seals, two kinds of jellyfish, birds and the water was absolutely perfect. I learned so much about the history of the penguins and how to support the penguins continued existence in Cape Town. This trip is a unique way to experience the wildlife and Simon's Town itself is also a really cute place to grab some lunch afterwards. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience-Recommend!!!!! - Wow what an amazing experience we had with our guide Terry. He was so knowledgeable and passionate not only about the penguins, but the whole ecosystem. He answered many questions about the penguins, sharks, orcas, climate change and anything else you wanted to know.
I left Terry wanting to stay and help them anyway I could. I'd like to also acknowledge the local lad (I forgot his name) who assisted Terry. Very smiley and courteous and professional.
Thoroughly recommend.
