    • Go towards the beach of the Boulder Coastal Park and walk between the ropes and between the penguins. There were lot’s of penguins walking around here and you could get very close to them.

    The penguins you see here weigh between 2,1 to 3,7 kilo’s and are a 50 cm high.

    The Boulder colony started in 1983 with a pair of African Penguins on the Foxy beach at Boulders and in 1997 they counted already 2350 adult birds. This due to migration from Dyer Island and reproduction.
