Kayaking - Atlantic Seaboard & False Bay — A Cape Coliving Nearby Experience

Sea Kayaking Atlantic Seaboard & False Bay — A Cape Coliving Nearby Experience The Experience Cape Town has two coastlines — the Atlantic Seaboard around the V&A Waterfront and Sea Point, and the False Bay coast around Simon's Town — each offering a completely different perspective of the city from the water. The Atlantic Outlook 2-hour kayak tour takes you along the stunning Atlantic Seaboard from the V&A Waterfront, past the Green Point Lighthouse, before cruising back to base — with views of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, and Signal Hill the entire way. Inside GuideAtlantic Outlook Reviewers describe it as a trip highlight. The water was calm and the pace perfect for all levels — even first-timers. Guides were knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife, and ocean conditions, making it feel personal, safe, and exciting. Penguins have been spotted swimming directly under kayaks, seals play nearby, and stingrays, jellyfish, and starfish line the walls of the naval base routes in Simon's Town.
