It was a great way to spend a drizzly afternoon in Cape Town. The water was beautiful & the weather changed every 5 minutes.

Fun & accessible challenge

Really great experience, very convenient from V&A Waterfront area. This company uses very stable boats so it was suitable for a beginner. Guide was good to keep everyone together and provide instruction and information. There did not seem to be changing rooms available to get out of wet clothes.
