Annemarie Horne kayaking in Hout Bay
Explore Cape Town’s coastlines in a kayak
A bucket-list-worthy sight to see - It's no secret - Cape Town has one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. People travel far and wide to see the iconic scenery, and who can blame them. The Atlantic Ocean, with its rich and unique marine biodiversity hugging the majestic Table Mountain - it's a bucket-list-worthy sight to see. And one of the best ways to experience this is in a kayak!

Kayak Adventures in Hout Bay

Based in the beautiful Hout Bay, Kayak Adventures Cape Town can take you on a scenic kayaking trip that you won’t forget! Their guided tours are safe and fun; the best part is you don’t need any experience.

You also don’t need to own any kayaking equipment as they provide you with all the equipment you need for this outing. Friendly, energetic staff give you a quick crash course before the trip to help you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Each Kayak takes two people, but you don’t need a partner to book this outing.

Keep in mind that the trip is weather dependent. The team will assess the weather on the day of the trip, and if the weather conditions are unsafe, the trip will be cancelled and refunded.

I recommend you have a look at the weather forecast before you book. Choosing a warm, sunny day for this adventure, as your clothes might get wet. Also, remember to bring a change of clothes and a towel to play it safe. Pack some water to take on the Kayak, as all the rowing will leave you thirsty after a while. And, of course, remember your sunscreen.

If you are prone to motion sickness, take some “motion sickness tablets” before the trip.

Seeing marine life on your Kayak Adventure

Marine life that you might encounter while kayaking includes Seals, Penguins, Dolphins, Whales and Sunfish, to name a few. Remember, spotting marine life during your kayak trip is a bonus to an already fun adventure. The tour guides try their best to spot marine life during the journey, but they can not guarantee any encounters, so keep your expectations low.

Private tours

Kayak Adventures Cape Town also does private tours for a minimum of 4 people. What an excellent opportunity for a private birthday excursion or team building? You can book your tickets on the Kayak Adventures Cape Town Website. You can also bring your action camera on the trip to capture your kayaking adventure. Alternatively, you can rent a GoPro action camera from them.

Kayaking is a Cape Town Bucketlist activity

Kayak Adventures Cape Town is also part of Cape Town Bucketlist, a collection of adventurous activities in Cape Town, including Seal Snorkelling, Abseiling down Table Mountain, Paragliding and “Scootours.” So many adventures, so little time. So grab your camera, and let’s go”.
