With the Atlantic Ocean on our doorstep, and a mountainous national park at its heart, Cape Town offers incredible opportunities for outdoor adventure. From scuba diving to sky diving, cycling to surfing, the adrenalin-packed delights of the Mother City are ready and waiting for you…
The waters of the Western Cape are home to dozens of cetacean species, from families of orca and resident pods of bottlenose dolphins to the southern right whales that migrate here from Antarctica during the winter months (June to September). Boat-based whale-watching excursions are the most memorable way to admire these animals in their natural habitat.
Enjoy a unique perspective on Cape Town with a kayak tour along the city’s Atlantic Seaboard. Guided kayak tours depart daily (weather permitting) from Three Anchor Bay to explore the beautiful coastline stretching from the V&A Waterfront to Clifton. Close-up encounters with pods of dolphin are a regular highlight. If you’d prefer to go it alone, kayak rentals are available.
Discover a curated collection of exclusive experiences and activities at The Twelve Apostles, each thoughtfully designed to immerse guests in the unique charm of Cape Town and its surrounding landscapes.
