When you are next in Cape Town, I can highly recommend an adventure with a difference. Most of my adventuring is powered by my legs but recently on a gorgeous Cape Town summer day we took a tandem ocean-kayak and paddled along the False Bay coast toward Cape Point. I have often walked that stretch of coastline, but the perspective from the sea was completely different . . . awesome and totally refreshing. Ahead of us (beyond the prow of the kayak) lay Judas Peak and Cape Point and looming over us on the starboard was Swartkop – the third highest peak on The Cape Peninsula.
The views were spectacular, the air was fresh, we saw seals, cormorants, terns and gulls . . . and got some upper-body exercise too.Kayaking trips can be organized by RACONTOURS and depart from Simonstown, close to The Long Beach and The St James hotels.
Awesome stuff.
