Experiencing my love for the sea 🌊 in different ways! One of it is through Kayaking - What an amazing experience. My wish was to kayak with dolphins 🐬 and on this day it became a reality. I even got a chance to swim in the open sea waters 🌊 We had as our guide Tylo and he was very experienced and shared some valuable knowledge of Houtbay to us. The views were incredible .

Definitely worth it! - Wonderful couple of hours. Excellent leaders… the wind was picking up so we paddled accordingly, safety first! Saw some dolphins and seals and received some excellent history lessons on this bay. Cannot recall the names of the two guides.

My Houtbay birthday kayaking bliss!! - My kayak adventure was an unforgettable experience with breathtaking views from the harbor waters. The crew was incredibly patient, guiding us as inexperienced kayakers until we felt confident paddling into the open waters. They provided detailed explanations about the environment, from the marine life to the local people and businesses. Two guides, Chadley and Clemon, delivered exceptional client service. They were warm and accommodating throughout the trip. Although Tylo, who appears to be the team leader with vast knowledge of the environment, lacks communication and people skills, tact, and patience. He is not a natural with people. Despite this, celebrating my birthday with this kayak adventure was a fantastic gift. I highly recommend them!

Good fun! - We went out with Kayak Adventures for a tour around Hout Bay on a nice sunny day. There was no wind, and the conditions were great. We didn’t have any issues using the sit on top kayaks, and the guides were very helpful. They were also very knowledgeable about the local conditions, history and wildlife. I would absolutely do this again, and recommend it to anyone who might like to try something new in a beautiful place.
