Dolphins, seals and history - Excellent experience. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area, history and fishing. We had dolphins playing round our kayaks and show lots of seals just chillin’ in the harbour. Well worth it!

Amazing experience - This was an amazing experience! We had a great time kayaking. The guides were amazing! I forgot their names, but they were incredibly understanding, patient and kind. These gentlemen really put a smile on my face. They helped us see dolphins and were always encouraging! I highly recommend this activity.

Nice tour, reliable good guides! - Very enthusiastic guide. It was windy that day and there were quite a few waves. We were allowed to kayak in the harbor and feel out of the lee if we really wanted to continue. If not, we just got our money back. We were confident and have a very nice kayak experience! Recommended!

Hout Bay Kayaking - We had a fantastic time kayaking in Hout Bay! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, making the experience even more enjoyable. Seeing dolphins up close was absolutely magical, and paddling past the seals on our way back was a remarkable highlight. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water!

Thomas was very professional and made the experience something to enjoy. - My boyfriend and I went on a tour with some people and one of the guides named Thomas.He was very friendly, funny and let us took out time when kayaking. He also gave us a brief history of the area and took a picture of us at the end. The view and experience was really gorgeous. My favourite part is seeing some dolphins and having a seal swim close up and it swimming under the canoe. I 100% recommend this company to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Not recommended for solo female travelers - Wasn't a very nice experience. I asked for my own kayak but was dismissively told that wasn't an option . Then they gave a single kayak to a guy on his own who'd never even been in one before! Staff were very misogynistic. It's a lot harder trying to manage with two people with the extra weight. I'd booked it as a nice chill treat for myself, not to to be stuck for two hours with someone I didn't know, making awkward conversation. There was no wind at all it was super calm there was no reason to make us pair up other than being oblivious and rude and sexist. Will never book again
