Notes

Depart from our Shark Warrior Adventure Centre on Seaforth Beach and after a quick safety briefing and some local history and information about what you can expect to see, you will head out to explore the waterways and secret coves hidden amongst pristine beaches and the natural environments of so many wildlife species that call the area home.

After a beach landing where you can relax or take a swim in the crystal clear water, you will return to Seaforth Beach.

NB! Sea kayaking is very weather dependent and your trip may be postponed or cancelled on the day if conditions are not safe for being on the ocean.

Customer Reviews

Incredible experience unlike anything I've ever done before! I'll honestly never forget it. Thank you Penguin Paddle! - Micaella


I am a local tour guide in Cape Town and booked this experience for my guests from Canada and Belgium. It was their highlight of the day. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient. It's a much better way to view penguins than on the decks. We managed to fit this activity on our Cape Point tour. I would highly recommend it. - Gervais


This was a great experience! The instructors/group leader is very knowledgeable and made the paddle seem much shorter than what it was. Great views along the coast line. - Etienne
