South Africa · CANOES & KAYAKS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 kayak trips worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Paddle from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront into Table Bay for mountain views, stable kayaks, friendly guides, and possible dolphin sightings.
“This was an absolutely amazing activity. We had wonderful weather and the guides were so knowledgeable. We saw loads of dolphins. They were so close to us. We are already planning on going again.”
Kayak Hout Bay for two hours with expert guides, dramatic Cape views, seals, dolphins, and possible penguins from a small group setting.
“The best experience ever. Our guide Chad was she best”
Paddle Cape Town’s Atlantic with a guide, Table Mountain views, included gear, and chances to see dolphins, penguins, seals, and whales.
“Guys are cool. But in general it wasn’t organized well. We experienced kayak tour with other company and can compare. Price is more or less the same but more benefits with other company. I will not use Atlantic service any more.”
Paddle 3 to 4 km off Cape Town with Table Mountain views, friendly guides, safety gear, and a chance to spot dolphins, seals, or penguins.
“Seeing dolphins . The experience overall was awesome but we felt that we were excluded from the group because we were slower, so we missed the experience of being part of a “tour” . Perhaps for future just take time to figure out why people are slower as we could have done with the help from the tour guides.”
Paddle Plettenberg Bay for two hours with a guide, mountain views, and chances to see dolphins, seals, whales, and sea birds.
“We really enjoyed this activity, we got to see a little hammer head shark! Unfortunately we didn’t get to see much of anything else, but that’s the gamble you take with the ocean 😂. Our guide Giovanni was excellent!”
Paddle Cape Town’s Atlantic coast for dolphins, penguins and seals, with Table Mountain views, expert guides, showers and a garden café.
“Must do experience in Cape Town. We managed to see dolphins, seals and penguins from a very short distance, which was amazing. Guides were lovely and clearly knew what they were doing. Definitely worth it!”
Pick a park, a coastline or a valley.
