Depart from Simon's Town and paddle the warm waters of False Bay and we'll show you some rather amazing things. We offer a variety of trips from the sedate to the adventurous. The most popular trip is to visit the penguins at Boulders Beach, Simon's Town. No experience is necessary and it's no more taxing than hiking up a hill.
Packages Penguin Sea Kayak Trip
One of the most unique places in the world - a penguin colony in suburban Cape Town! And the best way to see it is from the water. We leave from Simon's Town Waterfront and paddle past the civilian and Naval Harbour and out to Boulder's Beach. After visiting the penguins we stop on a lovely semi-private beach for refreshments, swimming and snorkelling (we provide the snorkels and bottled drinking water.) Our double kayaks are very stable and perfect for those with no paddling experience. During the whale season from August to October there is a good chance of seeing whales as well.
Departure: 09h00 Duration: 2 - 2.5 hrs Cost: R300
Cape Point Sea Kayak Trip
View the dramatic Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope, the most south-westerly point of the African continent, as it was seen by thousands of sailors throughout history - from the sea. We will often spot a whale or some dolphins, all seeking the protection of False Bay. This trip is aimed at the fit and energetic - experience is not essential. There is also the option of transiting around Cape Point, the Cape of Storms, and the Cape of Good Hope - one of the Everests of the world's oceans. This trip includes park entry fee's, refreshments and lunch.
