Great day on the water! The guides were great at spotting wildlife (we saw a seal, loads of dolphins and penguins!) and were great at ensuring everyone was on track. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing experience, kayaking with a whale, dolphins, fur seals and penguins. Our guide was really sympathetic and professional. A must do in Cape Town!

I was there for...

Adrian_J, Apr 2025

I was there for Christmas, and I had a great time and a lot of fun. It was a perfect morning and a great way to start the day. The view is breathtaking, showing a different view of the city and mountains. The water was clear and blue, though it looked deep, it looked and felt inviting. I highly recommend you do it.

One of the best experiences

Siraj_M, Nov 2024

Amazing crew. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We saw seals as well as dolphins. One did a backflip right out of the water. Another one swam right under our Kayak as well. It was an amazing experience. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

That is so kind thank you Siraj, we really appreciate the 5-star rating and hope you can visit us again someday soon!

Fun Times in Cape Town!!!!

Elaine_A, Jan 2024

My teenage son and I decided to go kayaking when we were on our vacation in Cape Town. It was our first time in Cape Town. A friend of mine who is from Cape Town recommended this to get a different perspective from water to see Table Mountain and some wildlife which we did. We saw so many dolphins just swimming right next to us. It was a great arm workout too. So much fun! The guides were so warm and welcoming too! I would definitely do it again when we come back.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Elaine, thank you so much for this enthusiastic review, we love hearing back from our guests and we really appreciate the 5 stars! thank you again and maybe we will so you both again on your next vacation to the Cape of Good Hope!

A wonderful experience.

Tracey_C, Dec 2023

The whole experience was amazing. Being out on the water and the scenery from a different viewpoint was exceptional. We felt safe and in good hands. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Beautiful experience

Great morning out on the water

Neil_T, Nov 2023

Had a great time on the water with guides Dylan, Leon and Josh. Conditions were a bit foggy and they offered to postpone but glad I went out - got to see Dolphins and Seals. Highly professional and well organised tour - would highly recommend

Fun activity with amazing guides!

It was amazing...

Elena_M, Feb 2023

It was amazing experience! 2 hours in the Atlantic! We saw dolphins, penguins and big Sunny Fish. The water was very clear and the view of Cape Town and Table mountain was unforgettable!!! Just do it!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much Elena!! we appreciate you taking the time to review us, please come back to visit us soon!!!

Great way to view Table Mountain and sea life

Lauren_M, Feb 2023

I booked this experience as a surprise for my parents. Even though we'd lived in Cape Town for 20 years, it's something we kept we had to do/had to remeber to do. They absolutely loved it! The guides were friendly, but clear on instructions and rules to keep us safe. We were very lucky to have perfect weather, not a drop of wind, clear water, and sunny skies. We saw dolphins and a seal, and the guides were knowledgeable about the sea life in the area. I would definitely recommend this experience with Kayak Adventure in Cape Town to others, and I will likely do it again in the future!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you so much Lauren, it's so good to see the locals enjoying their ocean and City. Thank you for the great review and we hope to see you again!

Memories made this day.

Cindy_T, Mar 2022

Great guides. We saw stunning dolphins. Jellyfish and small fish. Weather was the best ever. Such a memorable day.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you so much Cindy for the 5-star review, we really appreciate your time to review us! And so happy you had such a beautiful day at sea with Cape Kayak Adventures! We hope to see you back someday!

Shazia_K, Mar 2021

Seeing dolphins . The experience overall was awesome but we felt that we were excluded from the group because we were slower, so we missed the experience of being part of a “tour” . Perhaps for future just take time to figure out why people are slower as we could have done with the help from the tour guides.

Delphine zum greifen nah!

Verena, Mar 2020

Es war ein wunderschönes Abenteuer! Wir haben Pinguine, Mondfische und unzählige Delphine gesehen-zum greifen nah!!! Unser Trip musste von 7.30 Uhr auf 10.30 Uhr verschoben werden, weil morgens Nebel über Stadt und Meer hing. Alles lief völlig reibungslos und war perfekt organisiert! Ich kann es jedem nur empfehlen!!
