Hout Bay guided kayak tour

This two-hour guided kayak tour explores Hout Bay with Cape Town Kayaks, part of Cape Adventure Brands. Guests paddle in stable double kayaks after a safety briefing and basic paddling instruction. The price includes a kayak, paddle, life jacket and qualified guide. Seals, dolphins, seabirds and sunfish are among the animals the operator mentions, but sightings are not guaranteed. Children must be at least six and accompanied by a responsible adult. A reasonable level of fitness is recommended, and guests should be comfortable in the water and able to keep themselves afloat. The operator discourages non-swimmers from participating. Tours operate throughout the year when weather permits; unsafe conditions can lead to postponement, rescheduling or cancellation. Advance booking is required, and a minimum of two guests is needed for a departure.
