Description

Cape Town activity at its best. On this boat trip we guarantee you the best possible views of Table Mountain and the Mother City. Get to see marine wildlife in their natural surroundings. Very often the friendly husky dolphins tend to play and follow the boat. During whale season you will be awed by the sightings of whales in the bay. The Clifton & Camps Bay boat trip is a true way to relax yet have fun at the time. Our guides are friendly and knowledgeable. If you require a translator, please message us and we will do our best to arrange for a translator (please note that this may incur additional costs).

Shame, they are just out to scam people now

These guys are a scam, they didn't refund our deposit money even though they said they would (no response after rental, ignoring messages and calls) and they messed us around on the day, only giving us a half day (we paid for full) and a much smaller boat. Don't use these guys!

Great Experience

It was my first time on a speedboat and even though I had a bit of nerve it was the most adventurous thing to do, I have never done a deep ocean boat ride towards Clifton Beach, we were able to see some dolphins, penguins, and seals in the deep ocean. It was so peaceful and serene even though it was a bit cloudy but definitely worth doing. My team and I truly felt comfortable and safe with our skipper Lance. He explained to us some of the surroundings we saw and told us a little bit about sea life. It is definitely a service I would recommend to my guest at Point B Guest House. Thank you to Natasja for the educational.

Best experience - treated like a royalty

13th birthday present to my boy - best present I could give him. The organising and extra effort by Natasha was out of this world. We felt safe from the word go with Kevin. The personal attention, made our day extra special. Highly recommended - at the price.

Brilliant

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour boat trip with Jock. He was a really great skipper and told us lots about Cape Town and the sea round it. We saw lots of dolphins, seals and sun fish, as well as lots of birds. We had such a lot of fun. A very worthwhile outing.
