About
Connect with nature and experience Cape Town from a unique perspective by joining us for a fun and scenic paddle in the heart of Sea Point, set against the spectacular backdrop of Table Mountain and the 12 Apostles! All trips are guided, and we are conservative about the conditions we kayak in. The trips are gentle in pace and no previous kayaking experience is necessary. The focus is on enjoying the serene setting and hopefully spotting some wildlife. We are often fortunate to see a variety of wildlife on our trips including Cape Fur seals, Sun fish, and the occasional penguin! There is a chance of seeing dolphins & we are also lucky to see both Southern Right and Humpback whales from time to time, as they migrate along our coastline. We do 3-4 trips throughout the day (depending on the season). Morning trips a best for seeing wildlife, while our late afternoon trip offers the prospect of spectacular sunset views towards Clifton. Trips are approximately 2 hours long.

It is easy to understand why Cape Kayak Adventures is so well rated, they do their fantastic outings with a passion! And what better backdrop than the spectacular Table Mountain with the city sprawling at its feet.
The morning outing was really worth the early wake up. The see was calm and the marine life abundant! Even though no sighting is guaranteed we were very lucky to see the local Heaviside dolphins popping up around us. Seals were fishing as well and a massive sunfish was basking in the sun. Just incredible!
It is the perfect morning activity and a great way to explore the spectacular nature at Cape Town’s doorstep. Would definitely do this again as no outing is the same!

Thx to our excellent guides John, Deidre and Josh, who shepherded our family group of 5 adults and 5 children safely and expertly out from 3 Anchor Bay along the coastline passed the Green Point stadium.
It was a big effort for some of the group but worth the challenge when we were surrounded by feeding and then playing dusky dolphins. And on the way back we encountered a sun fish. Brilliant.
The coastal views were beautiful and we were exceptionally lucky with the sea and weather conditions. This trip was worth the effort and gave a great sense of achievement. Even with a couple of our boats needing a tow. Everyone is different but I think 8 years is as young as you want to go and make sure they are happy on the water.

I never went to the activity because the car broke down hence I did not make it on time. I ask for them to at least change the time or date but refused. We asked for refund but never got a response from them. Unforeseen circumstances always occurs, it’s business but be accommodating of unforeseen circumstances. We really were looking forward to this experience

Unfortunately, this is a busy time of year, we were fully booked and only received your message when we were about to start. If you had let us know sooner we would have been happy to accommodate you another day. We are sorry your car broke down.

Really enjoyed the kayaking session. Saw dolphins and a humpback whale in the distance. Great views on the city and mountains from a different perspective. I'm an experienced kayaker but there were also beginners in the group, it worked for all different levels. Our guide Theo was great, really recommend.

What an amazing experience!
I felt a little nervous at first, but our guides were so knowledgeable, patient and helpful.
The views were amazing, we saw some sea life and being on the ocean like that was something I'll always remember.

Hi - we are visiting in early January and this looks great fun - before we book, which of the times would you recommend in terms of conditions and potential to see wildlife?

We see most wildlife on the morning trips, my recommendation is the 0900 am trip , but no guarantees! They dolphins love the calm ocean, so try wait for a calm ocean day to book!

Do you have evening sunset kayak? Is that good time to see wild dolphins and seals? Thank you.

Yes we do sunset trips, but mornings are definitely better for wildlife.

We are looking at this tour on our visit in April. However my husband is not a strong swimmer and has never kayaked before, would it be suitable. We will be with our two children ages 7 and 9. Are they still charged at full price? Many thanks

Hello! no need to be swimmers, we go at a leisurely pace, and the Guides will ensure that you are all safe and have a great time, no rushing required! Children are charged full price, but if the trip is not fully booked when you join us, we will charge you for one child instead of two! We look forward to seeing you in April! Mornings are best :)

Hi thanks for your message.
A 7 year old child is no problem at all. We have very very little chance of seeing sharks as this is not an are they generally travel.
Bookings can be made through our website directly.

I'm visiting Cape Town in July 2018, and I am very interested in doing a Kayak tour. I would like to know if wet suits are provided in the cost?
Moon_beamed
Cape Town, South Africa49 contributions
Hello! We do provide neoprene splash covers in Winter, so no wet suit is required. Do bring a change of dry and warm clothes for after, there is nothing better than changing into comfortable and dry clothing after an ocean adventure. The sea temperature feels warmer than the air temperature in Winter. If you are unsure about the weather forecast, give us a call or email when you would like to book, so we can recommend the best day and time!
