We will be staying at Protea President Hotel in Capetown
How far is Boulders beach from the hotel
What is the best way to see the Penquins
By private car or public transportation

45km

Nearest rail station to Boulder's beach is 3km, but trains can be unsafe.

If you hire a car, there is lots more you can see en-route.

Boulders Beach can be reached by train- the nearest station is Simonstown, on the False Bay coast. Its quite a long trip from th city, but fairly scenic.
Car drive is also lovely, passing many seaside villages and suburbs.My Cape Town page has more info on the Boulders Penguin community.
It may be possible to arrange a 'mini tour' at your hotel travel desk.

HI, The hotel is about 30km from Boulders beach and the best way to travel is to hire your own car. The routes all around CT is very easy and ask any person the directions to Simonstown.

When you get to Boulders beach, you can walk the distances at your own pace and it is all contained in one area. Hiring a taxi or any other transport is parting with your money for NO reason whatsoever as you can rent a car and do it all yourself at a realistic rate.
The Penguins are all concentrated in the Boulders area.
Hapy visit and welcome.
