Reviews: Cape Town: Marine Life Kayak Tour From the V&A Waterfront
Guest User2026-10-12
It was wonderful to land right in the middle of a pod of dolphins. A little more information about when the wind picked up and we had to turn back would have been nice… But overall, highly recommended!

Reviews: Private Guided Snorkeling Experience-The African Sea Forest
Guest User2026-08-29
I had such a fantastic experience with Cape Summit Adventures! I did the snorkelling and Boulders Beach penguin tour, and it was honestly one of the highlights of my time in Cape Town. He was absolutely great throughout the day — friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. I really appreciated that he only offers small, intimate tours, and in my case it was just me. It made the whole experience feel much more personal and relaxed compared to being part of a larger group. He was incredibly patient and never made me feel rushed, taking the time to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying everything along the way. The snorkelling was a great experience, and seeing the penguins at Boulders Beach was definitely a highlight. I’d highly recommend Cape Summit Adventures if you’re looking for a more personal and authentic tour experience. The small-group approach really makes a difference, and I’d happily do another tour with him!
