Description
We start and finish at Clifton 4th beach. It is known for its beautiful white sand and huge granite boulders and has been voted as one of the top ten beaches in the world.
With stable, easy to use plastic kayaks that are easy to use for beginners, we are able to explore the shallow rock pools and kelp forests safely. Guests are able to swim with diving masks to enhance their experience even more.
The magnificent views of Lions Head, Table Mountain, the 12 Apostles and the rest of the experience will linger in your memory long after leaving Cape Town. Like a lot of other guests, you will probably book with us again on your next visit to Cape Town.
The weather in Cape Town can change a lot from day to day. We want to take you kayaking on the best day possible. In order for us to do so, please book your trip for the beginning of your time in Cape Town, so that we can reschedule it if needed.

Awesome experience at Kayak Clifton
We arrived early on a perfect weather morning. Jordan was welcoming and calm and got us off a little earlier than the slot as we were the only participants. Effectively we had a private tour. Equipment clean. Good instruction and we were off. The ocean was absolutely beautiful, smooth, no wind and temp just right. Recommend the early slot for the peace and serene environment- no one around - just you and nature. We had a very pleasant few visitors along the trip, 3 seals playing and then a very vocal whale out at sea, we could hear him before we spotted the spouting water. Could not have asked for a better way to end the Cape Town holiday with family. Back to cold UK today but the memories will carry us through. We will be back, for sure.

Kayak Clifton for Cheryl's birthday
What an amazing experience!
Jordan and Ian were both so helpful and knowledgeable.
We had an incredible day on the water and I highly recommend this experience.
Learning about Clifton and the Kelp Forest was really informative.
Getting to explore a somewhat secret beach, and taking a cold plunge were definitely highlights.
Thank you both for an incredible experience.

Awesome!
We, Capetonians, (group of 7 including kids aged 9 and 11) totally loved our kayak trip with guides Jordan and Roxy. The scenery is beautiful, the paddle is easy, rock pools, seals, starfish etc. One member of the group got slight seasickness but that was no problem and a guide escorted her back to the beach without hesitation. Other people on the trip with us included a family with very young kids so this really is suitable for all ages. As a Capetonian, I highly recommend this experience.

Great experience, beautiful views—would do it again!
My friend and I were lucky to be the only participants, so we had the tour all to ourselves. Our guide (unfortunately I forgot his name, sorry!) shared many interesting facts about Clifton, Camps Bay, Cape Town in general, and the wildlife in the ocean and along the coast.
We had a great time — thanks a lot!

Intimate and Personal
I had my bestie from Durban visiting me, so I booked a kayak tour for the two of us to do together as a belated Christmas Gift for her. It turned out that we were the only ones who had booked for the 9am tour with Jordan, so it turned out to be a very personalised and special experience, with Jordan taking extra care to search out for starfish for us to view in the Maiden's Cove area and he was in no rush to head back to shore, providing us with ample time to savour our surroundings and enjoy being out on the ocean.

Gorgeous views made for a wonderful day out!
Wonderful experience kayaking on Clifton Beach! We did this trip to celebrate my daughter's 25th birthday, and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Jordan, was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He made us all feel safe and took photos of us with our phones, which was appreciated. The highlight for me was kayaking into "Mermaid Cove" and being able to get out of the boat for a quick dip. It is so beautiful there! My daughter had a great birthday. We may be back before leaving Cape Town for the USA! Thanks for a great day.

Wonderful time on the beautiful waters off Clifton Beach
We booked this kayaking trip for my daughter's 25th birthday, and it did not disappoint! Our guide, Jordan, was super nice and knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we got into our kayaks safely and stayed together the entire time. It was a beautiful ride, surrounded by majestic mountains and beautiful beaches. Jordan took lots of pictures of each of us, which was greatly appreciated. The highlight for us was going through the kelp beds to "Mermaid Cove," where we were allowed to get out and swim. It was awesome. I'd highly recommend this activity with Kayak Clifton to anyone visiting Cape Town!
