Dolphins, Sunfish, and Seals—A Marine Life Paradise!

I had an absolute blast with Cape Kayak Adventures! Seeing the city, Lion’s Head, and the Sea Point Promenade from the water is a completely different experience—it’s easily the best way to start the day. The wildlife on this trip was mind-blowing. The dolphins came pretty close to our kayaks, which was magical, and we were lucky enough to spot a Sunfish and several playful seals too! It was also so cool to look up and watch the paragliders soaring above us while we paddled. The guides were fantastic—super friendly, high-energy, and very knowledgeable. They made sure everyone felt safe and confident before we hit the water. A massive plus is that they take plenty of photos during the tour, so you can focus on the paddling and the views while they capture all the best moments for you! The whole trip was professionally run from start to finish. If you want an active morning with a professional team and breathtaking views, this is a must-do in Cape Town. Highly recommend!

RISE EARLY AND CATCH THE SEA WORLD WAKING UP

An awesome, thrilling, mind-blowing, yes incredible experience. If I could do it at almost 70 then anyone can. Me with my fear of water, going out onto the open seas. Guys give Tracy and Team a go. We were three in our group and I decided to keep up with the Jones`:-) I said I can´t swim and need a drown proof life jacket. The team played along and gave me a 100% drown proof jacket. How do I know it was drown-proof? Because I am here to tell the tale. The weather was AWESOME. Beautiful blue skies. We saw an incredible amount of sea creatures: Dolphins, seals, fish, birds, Jackass Penguins and this all added to the ultimate experience. Also a seal killing an octopus for his breakfast. When heading back to shore, a dolphin decided to do a few flips around our kayak. My partner and I forgot the time and Noah had to tow us to shore as our two hours had elapsed. We told everyone (12 other Kayakers) our Kayak had a puncture, hence the tow-in. You´ve got to do it in order to experience this thrill. My next visit to Cape Town will definitely include CAPE KAYAK ADVENTURES: THEY´RE SIMPLY THE BEST.

Great day on the water!...

Great day on the water! The guides were great at spotting wildlife (we saw a seal, loads of dolphins and penguins!) and were great at ensuring everyone was on track. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

I was there for...

I was there for Christmas, and I had a great time and a lot of fun. It was a perfect morning and a great way to start the day. The view is breathtaking, showing a different view of the city and mountains. The water was clear and blue, though it looked deep, it looked and felt inviting. I highly recommend you do it.

Dolphins, seals and WHALES!

We were really excited to do our kayak adventure, but arrived and the bay was full of fog. Luckily Tracy had an amazing “we can go anyway!” attitude, and her, Nick and Noah took us out into the bay. It did NOT disappoint! The fog lifted and we had dolphins, seals, more dolphins, a WHALE, more dolphins and jellyfish! What an amazing experience! The guides were just fantastic and the experience was 10/10. Thank you!

Operator response

Oh wow, I'm so glad you guys had the adventurous spirit, it cleared the fog away! Thank you for the wonderful review!!! you guys rock and we hope you will be back in Cape Town soon or join us for more ocean fun! May the adventures keep finding you always :)

One of the best experiences

Amazing crew. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw seals as well as dolphins. One did a backflip right out of the water. Another one swam right under our Kayak as well. It was an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend.
