Booked 2 events and both cancelled about an hour ago without reason seems like overbooking. Disappointed

Good afternoon Raheel, I'm sorry your tours were cancelled, but unfortunately weather and ocean conditions were not ideal for our tours to go ahead as planned. We had strong northerly winds as well as large ocean swells on both days. The safety of our guests and the quality of our tours are our top priority at all times, hence the cancellations We understand your dissapointment, but safety first always. As our activity is weather dependant, cancellations are unfortunately unavoidable some days. I will request your full refund from Viator immediately and hope you will join us another time. Warm regards The Atlantic Outlook Adventure Team

Epic Kayaking Adventure in Cape Town!
The Atlantic Outlook Kayak Tour was absolutely amazing! Friendly guides, top-notch gear, and breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic. Saw wildlife up close and learned so much about the area. Perfect for beginners and pros alike—truly a must-do experience in Cape Town!

A memorable experience
Would highly recommend was a great experience and the guides very friendly. Only feedback I would give is there wasn't really any co-ordination to keep everyone togethor and we found ourselves way behind everyone else. Would have been more enjoyable had more effort been taken to keep us all togethor as we spent a lot of time panicking and trying to row faster rather than enjoy the experience.

Core memory unlocked! 🐬🩵🌊
This was such an amazing experience and I can’t recommend it enough! - Our tour guide, David, was so welcoming. You can see the passion the team has and their love for the dolphins. - The dolphins were so incredibly cute and active, I got a couple of jumping videos! They swam right next to my kayak, I think I could’ve touched them if I tried. - Their meeting point is in an underground parking area, so you don’t even need to worry about parking in the city (massive bonus). Seriously worth doing!

Dolphins, Seals & Penguins! Great experience…
Amazing experience kayaking with the dolphins (within 5 minutes), seals and even penguins! Had never kayaked before but felt safe with the team / group and quickly picked it up - the modified boats making it easier to steer and balance… weather will also play a part in this but would trust the teams judgement. Very relaxed once out at sea and not too strenuous, an absolute must if in Cape Town.

Fantastic experience with dolphins.
I had a wonderful kayaking experience with Atlantic Outlook! The guides were professional and made sure everyone knew what to expect on the trip. Happy also gave a lot of interesting information about the marine life. We had an amazing time with plenty of dolphins around us and saw scores of thousands of cormorants flying and feeding.

Potentially not for spring
Sadly we visited in October & this was postponed several times throughout our stay due to the weather & we we're unable to do the experience before leaving however the team were great at communication, informative & friendly. Would absolutely look to book again if we return.
