It is a fun way to see the Waterfront from a different angle! Remember to bring a jacket or something warm to wear in case the wind picks up.

More harbour and...

More harbour and industrial landscape than seals. Nice bit of history offered about some of the buildings/docks. A good view of table mountain from the boat!

Great short harbour cruise

Great shorts trip around the harbour. The guides were friendly. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Collection points for boarding passes and boat boarding point were both well signposted and easy to find. Guide on the boat pointed out key sights around the harbour.
