      The boat trip was fun - we saw dolphins, seals and a penguin. The trip was worth it for the iconic view of Cape Town and Table Mountain from the sea. However the pick-up details and map on Viator were completely wrong resulting in a dash for 1km to find the guide and boat. The guide seemed to have no idea about this. An unexpected stress to the trip Overall seemed very expensive for a one hour boat trip

      Response from Host, Sep 2025

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the boat trip and the stunning views of Cape Town, as well as the incredible marine life sightings — dolphins, seals, and even a penguin are definitely highlights! That said, we’re very sorry to hear about the confusion with the pick-up details and map on Viator. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we understand how stressful that must have been. We are currently investigating this issue with Viator to ensure accurate information is displayed going forward, and we’ve shared your feedback with our team and guide so we can improve communication on the ground. We appreciate your comments about the pricing, and we’ll take that into consideration when reviewing the value offered in our future experiences. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve and offer a better experience to future guests.
