Highlights

Cape Town activity at its best. On this boat trip we guarantee you the best possible views of Table Mountain and the Mother City. Get to see marine wildlife in their natural surroundings. Very often the friendly husky dolphins tend to play and follow the boat. During whale season you will be awed by the sightings of whales in the bay. The Clifton & Camps Bay boat trip is a true way to relax yet have fun at the time. Our guides are friendly and knowledgeable. If you require a translator, please message us and we will do our best to arrange for a translator (please note that this may incur additional costs).

About Cape Town

Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.

Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.

Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
