What are people saying about Cape Town

Jared_V, Mar 2026

Great way to spend an hour!

Such a great way to experience the city from a completely different angle. The coastal boat ride offered beautiful views along the shoreline, and seeing penguins, seals, and even dolphins in their natural habitat made it extra special. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something memorable and a little different!

No regrets!

Go prepared. Always take a jacket with on the boat, especially for the kids. It gets quite cold on the open seas, and wind picks up as well. Although it was scorching hot the day we went, it was cold on the open seas. The crew was amazing, especially the guide on the boat we took. Funny dude LOL. I couldn't get off without feeling guilty, should I not have tipped them. I did not except the boat have a bathroom, let alone a bar! :-) We enjoyed the boat trip extremely! Can't wait to take our next one! Thank you for a joyful experience! xxx

Luxury Sunset Cruise with Prosecco

Stacey_G, Dec 2025

Simply the Best. Our Captain Luweegeewas the most considerate captain of a boat I’ve ever cruise with. We had fun.

The Best! The crew and captain was a true blessing. I would recommend this cruise and crew a thousand times. The wine was plentiful, the crew assisted with walking along the boat and even when my had flew off my head the captain turn the boat around to try and find it. That touch my heart even though we were unsuccessful. I have a fabulous time.

Cape Town Helicopter Tour: Atlantic Coast

Truly a Must Do

Truly a must do. The views of Cape Town from the helicopter are second to none. Plenty of time in the air even though it’s a 20 minute trip. The group was flexible with us and allowed us to come early the day of and take an earlier flight so we could make our lunch reservation. The check in process was seamless and the pilot was kind and provided some talking points of what we were seeing during the flight.

A Perfect Sunset Experience in Cape Town

This was truly a remarkable experience for my husband and me. Watching the sunset over the ocean while listening to great music and sipping champagne was the perfect way to kick off our Sunday evening after dinner at the Waterfront. The crew was fantastic, friendly, accommodating, and ensured we found a comfortable spot to relax and soak in the beautiful views. The atmosphere was peaceful yet lively, making it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this sunset cruise - it is a definite must when visiting Cape Town!
