Paddle Along Cape Town’s Waterfront Coastline

Swap the busy Waterfront for a front-row seat to Cape Town's spectacular coastline. With Waterfront Kayak, paddle out from Granger Bay towards the Green Point Lighthouse, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill rising behind you. Glide across the Atlantic, breathe in the salty sea air and keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals, penguins and the occasional sunfish. Whether you're a first-time paddler or an old hand, there's something wonderfully freeing about seeing the Mother City from the water. And you never know who might swim alongside you.

BEFORE YOU GO
Guided trips last approximately 90 minutes, including around an hour on the water. No previous kayaking experience is necessary, and life jackets are provided. Meet at the Waterfront Kayak offices at Quay 5, approximately 20 minutes before departure, before being escorted to the launch site at Granger Bay. Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet, and bring sunscreen, water and a change of clothes. Trips are weather-dependent, so book ahead. Marine wildlife sightings are possible but never guaranteed.
