“Private adventure tour combining ocean kayaking along the Cape Peninsula with a Cape Point Nature Reserve visit.
About This Experience
Start your day paddling through the crystal-clear waters of the Cape Peninsula in a stable ocean kayak. Keep your eyes peeled for fur seals lounging on rocks, dolphins riding the swells, and African penguins porpoising through the kelp forests. After your paddle, dry off and drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve for a walk to the famous sign and a hike up to Cape Point Lighthouse. Your private guide tailors the day to your fitness level and interests — more paddling or more hiking, your choice. A truly unique way to experience the Cape Peninsula's wild beauty from both water and land.
