Kayaking around Cape Town provides a different perspective, allowing paddlers to view the beauty of the coastline and the iconic landmarks from the water.

All trips are guided and gentle in pace, and require no previous paddling experience. The minimum age for a tour is six years and the maximum weight is 120kgs, with and average fitness level.

All kayak safety gear is included. Sun screen, a hat, sunglasses, wind breaker and quick drying clothes are recommended, as well as motion sickness meds if you are prone to sea sickness. Lockers are provided for your valuables.

Safety is a priority and all trips are weather dependent, and may have to be cancelled and rescheduled at the last minute due to unpredictable weather.

Their guides are passionate about the ocean, knowledgeable, professional and attentive, and take great pleasure in sharing what they have learned and love about the sea.

Tours

Cape Kayak Adventure tours embark from Three Anchor Bay where the kayaks are stored on the beach, and journey either towards Granger Bay or Bantry Bay. The trips cover two to three kilometres and last approximately two hours.

Morning trips are best to see wildlife, and although not guaranteed, you may encounter whales, dolphins, penguins and seals. Late afternoon trips offer the prospect of spectacular sunset views towards Clifton.

Uninterrupted views of the Cape’s spectacular mountain range including Signal Hill, Lions Head, Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles is an unforgettable sight.

The trip to Granger Bay will take you past the Green Point Lighthouse, the wrecks of the Seafarer and RMS Athens, and one of the favourite hangouts for the Heaviside dolphins, who are often companions on these thrips.

Cape Kayak Adventures make for great gift vouchers, and provide the perfect balance of relaxation and exhilaration. The spectacular views and sea breeze will leave you feeling rejuvenated.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
