Paddle Through the Waterfront’s Hidden Canals

There's a whole other side to the V&A Waterfront, and the best way to discover it might just be from a kayak. Leave the busy walkways behind and paddle through the Waterfront's peaceful canals, gliding beneath bridges and past striking modern architecture. With a friendly guide leading the way, you'll discover a surprisingly tranquil corner of the city that most visitors never experience. No waves, no ocean currents, just an easygoing adventure on the water. Perfect for first-time paddlers, curious explorers or anyone looking for a different perspective on Cape Town.
