About this experience
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.
