Our clients say it best
Stunning tour! Very friendly staff in Tracy, Leander and Noah. I highly recommend it. 2 hours was long enough perfect timing. I went out to the boat that carried the containers amazingly. Saw a penguin! And a sunfish.
Lara Kaplan
Authentic kayaking experience and arguably my favourite in all of Cape Town. Would strongly recommend this awesome team! If you’re lucky, you may even see dolphins like we did!
