I recently had the pleasure of going on a kayaking trip along the stunning waterfront in Cape Town, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. The clear, turquoise waters and the breathtaking views of Table Mountain and the city’s skyline provided the perfect backdrop for an adventure.

The highlight of the trip was when we spotted dolphins swimming nearby. It was an incredible sight to see these graceful creatures gliding through the water, and they even came close enough for us to hear the splashes of their fins. It felt magical to be so close to nature in such a vibrant urban setting.

The kayaking itself was easy-going and enjoyable, with calm waters that were perfect for both beginners and seasoned paddlers. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, giving us insights about the area’s marine life and the history of the waterfront.

Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or just looking for a unique way to experience Cape Town’s beauty, this kayaking trip is a must-do. Seeing dolphins up close and being surrounded by the stunning coastal scenery made it an unforgettable day on the water.

Our company ATP Cool Refrigeration Parts recently had the pleasure of going kayaking for our year end with Waterfront Kayak. It was an absolutely incredible experience! From the stunning scenery to the knowledgeable guides, every aspect of the trip was top-notch.

Our guides, Sabri and Owen, were phenomenal! They were not only skilled kayakers but also passionate about the environment and the local marine life. They shared fascinating insights about the area, making the experience educational as well as fun. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and they ensured that everyone felt safe and comfortable on the water.

We even had the chance to spot some playful dolphins and seals, which added an extra layer of excitement to the adventure.

Overall, kayaking in with Waterfront Kayak is a must-do for anyone. The combination of stunning natural beauty, engaging guides, and the thrill of being on the water made it one of the highlights of our company’s year-end function. I can’t recommend it enough!

Highly recommend! What a fantastic experience. Big shout out to our guide, Gustavo, for making us feel so comfortable and welcome - and for his amazing sense of humour. We saw dolphins up close, plenty of bird life and a seal eating an octopus. Gustavo shared lots of interesting facts and historical insights along the way. This is such a special way to experience the city, the views from the ocean are unmatched. We are locals and we were blown away!

Friendly guides, explained everything well, safe place to store our stuff, nice place to launch the kayaks - not into the open ocean but in a sheltered spot. Such an awesome experience will highly recommend!
