Terms of use
As of October 2026
What this is about
These terms apply to the use of the website capetownpenguins.com. Cape Town Penguins is an independent guide to seeing the African penguins of Cape Town, South Africa: Boulders Beach in Simon's Town, Stony Point in Betty's Bay and the day tours that visit them. We do not sell tours or park entry ourselves.
Who sells your tour
If you book a tour through one of our links, you enter into the contract on the website of GetYourGuide or Viator with that platform or with the respective tour operator. Their terms and conditions apply. They are responsible for the tour, payments, rebookings, and cancellations, not we.
Prices and availability
Prices on this website are starting prices and are for orientation only. If you convert them into another currency, we use reference rates from the European Central Bank; the result is an approximate value. Only the price and availability shown by GetYourGuide or Viator before booking are binding.
Wildlife, Beaches and Park Rules
Penguins are wild animals with sharp beaks, and the beaches around them have no lifeguards. Park fees, gate times and rules are set by SANParks and CapeNature and can change without notice; we state them as the authorities publish them, with the period they apply to. Whether you swim, which beach you use and how close you go is your own decision and at your own risk, within the rules posted at the gate.
Commissions
Links to tours are affiliate links. If you book through such a link, we receive a commission from GetYourGuide or Viator. You incur no additional costs as a result.
Links to other websites
We link to third-party sources and offers. The respective operators are solely responsible for their content.
Copyright
Texts and graphics on this website are copyrighted. You may read, print, and share them for private purposes by linking to the page. Any other use requires our consent. Tour photos belong to the respective providers; map data: © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Liability
We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence as well as for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health. Otherwise, we are liable only for breach of essential obligations and limited to typically foreseeable damage. Use of this website is free of charge.
Applicable law and changes
German law applies. If you are a consumer with ordinary residence in another state, the mandatory protection provisions of your home country remain unaffected. We may amend these terms; the version published at the time of your visit to the website applies.
