Experience one of Cape Town’s most unique wildlife activities with a guided kayaking tour alongside African penguins. Set in the calm waters of False Bay near Simon’s Town, this unforgettable adventure gives you the opportunity to see these iconic birds from a completely different perspective.
Unlike traditional viewing points, kayaking allows you to get closer to nature in a quiet and non-intrusive way. As you paddle along the coastline, you’ll often spot penguins swimming, diving, and relaxing on nearby rocks. The experience feels immersive, peaceful, and incredibly memorable.
No previous kayaking experience is required. Before heading out, you’ll receive a full safety briefing and guidance from experienced instructors. The kayaks are stable and easy to use, making this activity suitable for beginners while still enjoyable for more experienced paddlers.
The route follows the scenic coastline around Simon’s Town, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and ocean. In addition to penguins, you may encounter other marine life such as seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds, adding to the richness of the experience.
The tour typically lasts around 1.5 to 2 hours, giving you enough time to fully enjoy the surroundings, take photos, and connect with nature. With small group sizes and guided support throughout, the experience remains safe, relaxed, and well-paced.
Safety is always a priority, with experienced guides monitoring ocean conditions and ensuring that all participants feel comfortable at every stage of the journey.
EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Posted on Toni Williams From our initial contact through our drop off, all details were handled promptly and efficiently. We just did an airport transfer, but Rafique would have been an excellent tour guide as well. His knowledge and ability to entertain while educating were exceptional. We cannot thank the team here enough for a seamless transfer! (As Canadians we did experience a slight glitch with payment, but Che was able to help us out with that too)Posted on Anpna Halai From start to finish, Che is definitely the person you want to book your Cape Town trip with. When we were planning the itinerary, Che replied via email so quickly and really formulated an amazing itinerary and it was dealt with so professionally. As soon as we arrived in Cape Town, my Mum and I were really looked after well by Che and Faizal. A luxury car for our entire tour was used which made our tour experience so comfortable with daily replenished water bottles and providing wifi in the car was such an extra special luxury touch. Faizal was our driver for the entire week and he was so polite, professional, met us on time and made meet up points so easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver to share our trip with. Che went above and beyond for our itinerary, suggesting the township tour that we had not originally planned but was so worth it and ended up being one of our favourite tours of the trip. He honestly recommends the best restaurants and vineyards. We were celebrating both my Mum and I birthdays on the trip which we ended up doing two days of the winelands, Che made it extra special by suggesting the best vineyards, honestly it was an unforgettable experience and a birthday we will never forget. Daily check ups to see how our day went was also a really nice touch. Che and Faizal honestly looked after us so well, we felt like we knew them for ages and hopefully friends for a long time. We will definitely be back and definitely use Wanderer Cape Town Tours.Posted on Neil Khot Awesome service, Good Vehicles and Knowledgeable guide, Rifique iand Che are both great , plan ahead of coming.Posted on Patrik Novak Just amazing trip with such great guy as a guide.Posted on Tracey Dollemore Where can I start? This amazing day has blown our minds. Something we couldn't have achieved without Che's expertise and organisational skills planning our day for us. Our fabulous tour guide Rafique, so professional every step of the way. Felt so looked after, saw SO much, so emotional and incredible. Book it ... you will not be disappointed!!Posted on Islam Sherif Amazing service. Well trained guides. Very good knowledge of the city and best time to visit each area. They have a fleet of new and well maintained cars and buses. Highly recommended! Special thank you to Che, Nwabisa, Faize and michael.Posted on rohan ahuja My experience with them has been absolutely amazing and wonderful. They made my honeymoon extremely memorable. In my limited time in cape town they not only made everything possible for me to see but also they made it super smooth. The team is very kind and affectionate especially Che & Rafique. They made sure my wife and me feel safe all the time. Their highest priority is that their clients get the best experience. They made my trip so memorable that i want to come back again. And i would not hesitate once in taking their services again. They do their work with utmost passion. They make sure everything is the best and that too at the right price.Posted on Aisha Naiga Professional, prompt and excellent planners! We enjoyed our stay in Capetown courtesy of Wander Tours & Travel. GratefulPosted on Andrew Williamson Really enjoyable trips at the start and end of our little tour around South Africa. Organised by Che and looked after on the days by Rafique. Tour 1 - Cape Point - which we started at Boulders Bay (penguins), Cape Point in the National Park, fab lunch stop (with great wine!). Atlantic seaboard and Chapmans Peak and back to Cape Town. Tour 2 - Wine Tour plus Table Mountain - our day was adjusted as the mountain cable car was closed first thing (due to wind) so we had a little tour of a trendy local market (Biscuit Mill) which was an unexpected surprise. Franschhoek and Stellenbosch was great. I really would advise people give themselves plenty of time in Franschhoek - a charming place and lovely to wander around and browse in the shops and galleries. A few “surprises” along the way on both days (no spoilers here as I wouldn’t wish to give anything away). Rafique was such fun on day 1 we asked if he could look after us when we returned in 10 days. Thanks to both Che and Rafique…. Really appreciated it. Andrew & Charlotte and David & Tanya.
Breaching whales in Hermanus - Wanderer was an excellent choice for me as a solo traveler. Che and his team were flexible, knowledgable and made my week in Cape Town lots of fun!!

We just sat back and enjoyed every bit from pick up to drop off. You can’t go wrong with this reliable and friendly service.

We had a particularly enjoyable tour of the vineyards and Kevin our driver was very knowledgeable and educated us on the areas we drove through. Not only that, he was just a really lovely person!

fantastic tour guide so much to see - We booked very last minute with Che ( thinking im spelling the name right) but he was able to put together a great day for myself and my wife on... read more our honeymoon. He was very punctual and professional from the get go. We had a lovely day that was jam packed with thing from boat trips to cape point and much more. Che himself was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the places we visited but also the history of south African in general. He was so enthusiastic about what he was doing it really made for a great experience for me and my wife. Little detail that made it were when he pulled over after noticing some people on the side of the road with cameras pointed out to the water. We stopped and managed to get a great view of some whales swimming in the cove. I would highly recommend wanderer.
PS i have lots more photos but the TripAdvisor page isnt great for uploading

A truly memorable day.
Thanks you.
See you when we return to Cape Town in a couple of weeks we hope.
Customer service is #1 - If you want the best private tours in Cape Town, Che and his team are the BEST! We were traveling with 4 other couples, so you can imagine what it... read more was like trying to ensure that everyone's tastes were accounted for. While planning, Che (the owner) was very attentive to what we wanted, suggested other sites that we may want to see and actually communicated with us, often. He and his team went out of their way to ensure that everyone had a great time, sometimes changing the itinerary slightly because we were off-schedule. Che personally saw that my husband and I were taken care of, at a moment's notice, on our 9 hour lay-over back through Cape Town a week later. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wandered Tours for your Cape Town adventures - you will NOT be disappointed.
Our wonderful experience of South Africa was enhanced by the great service we received from Wanderer Tours. Fantastic people for whom nothing was too much trouble for them.

He shows up on time and works with your schedule, he even offered to take photos using his phone and then sent them to my WhatsApp.He also has a great sense of humor.

I highly recommend them and will use them over and over again.
