I did the Kayak tour with 3 friends and it was amazing. We saw a school of penguins, a seal, and even a whale! This was one of the highlights of our trip and we would do it again. Our guide was super friendly, funny and informative and gave us recommendations for other activities to do in Cape Town.

Would highly recommend was a great experience and the guides very friendly. Only feedback I would give is there wasn't really any co-ordination to keep everyone togethor and we found ourselves way behind everyone else. Would have been more enjoyable had more effort been taken to keep us all togethor as we spent a lot of time panicking and trying to row faster rather than enjoy the experience.

Amazing experience kayaking with the dolphins (within 5 minutes), seals and even penguins!
Had never kayaked before but felt safe with the team / group and quickly picked it up - the modified boats making it easier to steer and balance… weather will also play a part in this but would trust the teams judgement.
Very relaxed once out at sea and not too strenuous, an absolute must if in Cape Town.

Great day out! I was paired up with Natasha as I was solo. She was a great guide and we even chatted about different surf spots in Cape Town on our kayak 🤙
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hi Fable,

Business run by some young guys who are sincerely cool. Great ambience! We saw plenty of dolphins, few penguins and even a seal jumping in the sea. Wonderful!! Everything with some lounge music played by the David on its kayak

Absolutely magical experience! Such a professional team, and the best of luck was on our side, with an absolutely glass-smooth sea.
We had dolphins jumping, penguins swimming, a seal chilling in the sea and we rowed through hundreds of jellyfish.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your time on the ocean with us Marinus.
What a treat to have so much wildlife out and about during your tour.
I hope you'll have another opportunity to join another of our tours in the future.

BOOK EARLY ON IN YOUR TRIP! This incredible experience was one of my favorites in Cape Town. It got rescheduled twice though because of weather so make sure you book early in your trip so you can reschedule if needed. Recommend booking in the mornings for the most dolphin sitings. They were so close and so friendly, jumping and swimming all over! We also saw penguins and a seal. The kayaks have foot pedal steering and are 2 to a kayak. Paddling isn’t too strenuous at all, but wear a bathing suit because though you don’t end up in the water, you do end up sitting in a chilly pool of water from your own splashing. Lockers available to hold your things while you’re on the water. Unbeatable views from the water and the guides do a great job of taking photos and videos of everyone. You can take your phone with you worry free and keep it in the pouch of your life jacket. I also had my GoPro but didn’t really feel like I needed it. Andy and everyone were awesome guides. Can’t go wrong booking this once in a lifetime experience!

Great experience and we were lucky to have a baby dolphin swim among us. The location is slightly difficult to fin as the directions on Viator are wrong. The pick up location or meeting point is on the ground floor of the multi story car park.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Wow, that must have been amazing!
So glad to hear you enjoyed your time on the ocean with us.
Thank you for bringing the location issue to my attention, we will deal with it immediately.

It was so much fun and the instructors were amazing!
I felt safe the whole time, especially since I usually don’t do such risky things. I prefer stable land lol

This was one of my most memorable excursions!
Firstly, it was very well organised and I was the beneficiary of endless patience - I can't read a map to save my life and so was late to the meet up.
Although I was travelling solo, I was part of a lovely group of people and our guides were incredibly hospitable and cool! We spotted some dolphins and penguins in the water and the whole experience was surreal. We weren't rushed and at some point stopped paddling for just sat back in the water and enjoyed the experience. A 'vibe' as a the cool kids say.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I definitely plan on doing this again when I return to CPT.
Pauline_A, Feb 2024

Hope to see you on another of our tours sometime in the future.
A_C, Feb 2024
Wonderful enthusiastic guides, especially helpful when one of us was new to kayaking. Really stable kayaks, despite the big waves. Got to see dolphins in the distance and a sunfish up close. Would love to do something like this again.
Response from Host, Feb 2024

We had to reschedule due to bad ocean swells. But everything was conducted easily and well. Unfortunately i was unable to attend the rescheduled date, but look forward to rebooking in the future.
Jennifer_F, Feb 2023
Had such an amazing time with the Atlantic Outlook team, they were all so friendly, upbeat and really made the whole experience really memorable! Would recommend if your a lover of water!
Veradana_M, Jan 2023
It was incredible. There were also dolphins and seals in the ocean next to us whilst we were kayaking
Bianca_D, Jan 2023
The views and dolphins were amazing. Friendly guides and awesome vibes. Would definitely recommend….
Nikita_V, Jan 2023
The most friendliest staff ever! We were 10 minutes late trying to find our way in Cape Town, however was still given a quick catch up by the instructor and continuous check ins by the instructors out on the water. Very chilled vibes. You’ll find marine life out there and beautiful views of Table Mountain. Tip - the 7am slot is amazing, the water is calm and you’ll be able to spot dolphins.
Suzanne_O, Dec 2022
Perfect conditions, fabulous crew and extremely well organised! (It would be great to receive the photos from the day)
Skye_P, May 2022
AMAZING ✨💖 such a beautiful, raw experience. We are nature and adventure lovers so it was perfect for us.
Marina_T, Mar 2022
Guys are cool.
But in general it wasn’t organized well.
We experienced kayak tour with other company and can compare.
Price is more or less the same but more benefits with other company.
I will not use Atlantic service any more.
leora_r, Feb 2022
Everything was great from beginning to end. A fabulous experience. Staff were friendly and very helpful and made the experience that much more fun.

Seals and dolphins a plenty and nice to see CT from the water
nkazimulo_g, Feb 2022
Got there solo and left with a couple of mates.
Shared each others life stories while getting the strokes in and the dolphins, seals and penguins delightfully accompanied us.
The guide towered above us like Thor was a super friendly and made the experience super fun!
Best way to start the day!!!
Fathima_A, Jan 2022
