It was calming and peaceful. This boat ride made me love the ocean more than I already do. It was very special moment for me and my siblings :)
We really enjoyed the boat cruise in Cape Town. It was a lovely experience, and we had such a great time taking in the beautiful views. The only downside was that 30 minutes felt too short, we honestly wished the cruise could have been an hour so we could enjoy it a little longer. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely something we would love to do again.
We had the best time on our boat cruise in Cape Town. The views of Table Mountain and the ocean were breathtaking. Such a romantic and unforgettable experience with my partner!
Money is worth your 30 minutes. Every minute spent on the boat was enough, the cozyness of the bar, the music was what we're used to, even the dolphins gave us a small show, children were laughing at seals fighting and throwing each other off into the water
I arrived at 1 the boat had left meaning it left before 1pm that ok it my fault that I was late but the front desk team was rude there is always a better way of talking to customers not from Capetown getting there was a mission I wouldn’t refer anyone
It’s safe, there’s music and drinks offered. The staff there is also friendly and very accommodating. Buy a ticket and get a ride. Enjoy!
It is a fun way to see the Waterfront from a different angle! Remember to bring a jacket or something warm to wear in case the wind picks up.
Its was a love, spontaneous and affordable trip. My kids enjoyed the first boat ride. We even saw a whale.
Very good value for a relaxing cruise around the harbour to see the coastline from a different perspective
More harbour and industrial landscape than seals. Nice bit of history offered about some of the buildings/docks. A good view of table mountain from the boat!
I was very happy during the entire cruise. It was easy to find the offices and I like the punctuality of the company. The experience worth every cent. I would 100 percent recommend.
Great shorts trip around the harbour. The guides were friendly. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Collection points for boarding passes and boat boarding point were both well signposted and easy to find. Guide on the boat pointed out key sights around the harbour.
Quick fun and very worthwhile Gives another perspective to Table Mountain you can’t get from anywhere else
Take a jacket. Thorougly enjoyed this experience. Laughed a lot at the comments of the guide. You will love it
The experience is wonderful. And it is worth the price. I would like to do it again in future. The tour giude is very informative sharing while on the cruise
The staff was amazing in-board. Friendly service, well-priced drinks and great conversations. I’d do it again.
Wow we had a time of our life,we will definitely do it again, the guy who was assisting us in the boat gave us a lot of information and he was really good
Very easy and fast.The entire experience was pleasant. The trip was great. I will recommend to friends.
The experience was very nice and I enjoyed it and it’s memorable with my family my kids and they love it too
The cruise was well worth the money and punctual. The views were stunning, enough shade on the deck and the seals were the cutest. Definitely value for money.
Loved it so much, they sell refreshments on board as well. The view was beautiful and seeing the seals was exciting, we were given a very nice tour
We had an amazing experience on our 7th year anniversay. I would recommend to family and friends. Stuff were friendly and helpful
We went out on a half hour trip . Was so much fun and totally great price. Staff were warm funny and welcoming. On board v professional offering refreshments and helping us with photo taking . 10 out of 10 for the whole experience!
Good experience. Somewhat informative too. Quite close to the water, so will get splashed when turning there & there… if seated by the closer sided. Nothing bad to say. Would I do it again though? No, it’s not a repeatable activity. Also: there’s a line during the festive.
THis was an Absolutely amazing experience. The ride was smooth and always was being tokd what is happening .The lady spoke clearly and was very informative.Made friends .The ride was enjoyable thank you for such memories being made
Go prepared. Always take a jacket with on the boat, especially for the kids. It gets quite cold on the open seas, and wind picks up as well. Although it was scorching hot the day we went, it was cold on the open seas. The crew was amazing, especially the guide on the boat we took. Funny dude LOL. I couldn't get off without feeling guilty, should I not have tipped them. I did not except the boat have a bathroom, let alone a bar! :-) We enjoyed the boat trip extremely! Can't wait to take our next one! Thank you for a joyful experience! xxx
Every oneThey must come and travel the experience.and the way explain every where when we reach the place we don't know
It's a fun activity. The kids loved every moment. We saw sea lions, an island from a distance, helicopter rides.We took pictures and enjoyed every moment.
Everything was great, staff were friendly, and the ride was amazing. Just some shade while waiting on the deck would’ve been good.
This was a very laid back activity, with beautiful views of Cape Town and interesting insights into the Harbour activities. Good value for money
We had the best experience ever with my boyfriend as it was our first time going on a boat trip. The service was also excellent.😍 we will come visit again. We took a thirty minutes thrip.
Great experience very friendly staff, me my sisters ordered champagne on board, the crew members helped us to take pictures.
Very enjoyable boat trip. Got to experience alot of beatiful scenery. Overall good value for money, and everyone had a good time!
Really impressed with the service and staff. Easy booking and payment. Had a great time with my family.
I tried contacting the agent but it is so difficult to get through. The booking process was not easy, it didn't allow me to make payment using a debit card so it took me straight to the names of the travellers; however, I could not change the date. I called all the numbers that were on the website and the email but received no response or no feedback with my issue.
Wonder and fun experience, well guided and educational. I felt safe and comfortable . One of the best experiences I’ve had thus far
This is an independant site, when you book here and get to the operator they do not recognise Viator's ticket and then you have to pay again.
Very nice and comfortable,more especially when you have kids on board.We gathered so much info from the captain.We really enjoyed our self
Nice boat, nice speaker, wonderful views and lots of seals. The price is very good, and the boat was not crowded
Short trip ,which we wanted,but a nice way to see the harbour.Good value and straightforward. Worth it
Anthony and the team is extremely professional - and they have a great sense of humour. :) We left on time, had a great cruising - saw dolphins and seals too! I'd 100% recommend it.
My friend and I had an amazing time. We booked the 30 minute cruise but we wished we had booked a longer trip😁
Wow what a great experience I had with my family, the trip was amazing and the stuff was soo nice and friendly. Definitely the coolest place to be, when you want to get fresh air
They only sell alcoholic beverages and water on board. The service was amazing, everyone was friendly.
Do not go when it is cold and windy, otherwise very nice experience and staff very friendly and helpfull
Best weather for those who love nature best place for fun good place for those into photography 📸 indeed a good place for tourists as it has everything you wish to see restaurant boats clothing stores big mall with shops inside I really loved the place and will go back
A lovely fun outing, capable crew members with interesting information. Such good value for money! Thank you for the treat.
Generally, a waste of time. It is a boat ride from the V&A harbour to around the corner and back again. Did not see any seal or marine life, the tour operators and staff did not give us any information while on board. I would only recommend if you are wanting to simply be out on the water for 30 minutes on a nice day. Otherwise, I suggest heading to Hout Bay for a proper marine life tour.
We had a great time with family, we saw the seal and got some history about the ship next to harbour. Our guide was very informative
