The beauty of Table Mountain, Lions Head and the Atlantic Sea Board coastline from the comfort of our kayaks is unrivaled.

Our 2-hour Kayak Tour will take you along the stunning Atlantic Sea Board coastline from the V&A Waterfront, past the Green Point lighthouse, before cruising back to base.

Dolphins, seals, penguins, Sunfish and occasionally whales frequent our Cape Town waters and while we may not be lucky enough to encounter all this beautiful wildlife on every tour, we can assure you that all your senses will be tantalized.

Let’s go Kayaking …

Activity Description

Join our sunset Hike up Lion’s Head and make friends from around the world while soaking up Cape Town’s famous sunsets from the best vantage point possible! The hike up to the summit takes roughly 1.5 hours but passes many incredible viewpoints and the trail is very exciting in places! After enjoying the summit views and photo opportunities we will hike down to a quieter viewpoint to sip some hot tea/coffee and watch the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. Once the sun sets we hike safely back down with head torches as the city lights start to glow beneath us.

Customer Reviews

We really enjoyed our hike with experienced and knowledgable guide Fatima. It was easy to book and organise. I would recommend having a guide for Lions Head. - Katie Scott


We had an incredible climb up Lion's Head at dawn! Fatima is the best guide you could ask for! A wonderful view, lots of information about Capetown, the surroundings and nature - just wonderful! We can only recommend everyone to book the tour and to stand on top of Lion's Head just in time for sunrise! Thank you Fatima! - NV


Fatima was an amazing guide. I researched a lot before choosing and saw that she has the best reputation...she did not disappoint! The local knowledge, passion for the mountain and the stops to take note of the plants and wildlife that live there all made the hike super personal and interesting. She was supportive at the right times, very personable and it was nice to see her getting recognised by other hikers/trail runners. The coffee and homemade treats were excellent, making the experience even more magical at sunrise. - Jacqueline Phillips


Fatima was lovely!! She made sure she tells me about flora and fauna around. She was patient as I am not a regular hiker. Made no fuss. Clicked beautiful photographs, motivated me to do the stuff that I thought I couldn't do. Everyone needs a guide like her! You go girl!! - Aakanksha Tiwari


It was amazing and very recommendable. Our guide was super cool and informative. We had lots of fun although he was sick. - Hülya Sarac
