Clifton: From Millionaire’s Row to the Great African Sea Forest 🌊
"We show you the secret side of Clifton that most people do not know about and never get to see." 🤫✨
A Tale of Two Worlds 🌍
Experience the striking contrast of Cape Town’s most exclusive coastline. On one side, the architectural masterpieces of "Millionaire’s Row" cling to the granite cliffs 🏠💎. On the other, a wild, underwater jungle that teems with life just inches beneath your kayak 🛶🌿.
The Experience 🚣♂️
- The Secret History: Glide past the iconic white-sand beaches while our guides share the history of Clifton’s famous bungalows and the shipwrecks hidden beneath the surf 🏴☠️⚓. We’ll point out the most expensive homes in Africa—glass-and-steel marvels that are best viewed from the tranquility of the water 🥂✨.
- The Kelp Forest Cathedral: We leave the "civilized" world behind as we navigate the narrow channels of the Great African Seaforest. Paddling through these towering bamboo kelp forests is like moving through an underwater cathedral—a calm, emerald sanctuary protected from the wind 🎋💚.
- Encounters with Wildlife: This isn't just a paddle; it’s a safari on the sea 🐧🐳. The kelp forest is a thriving nursery for marine life. You are likely to encounter:
- The Kelp Forest Residents: Look down into the crystal-clear rock pools to spot colorful starfish, sea urchins, and the iconic Pajama Shark (a small, striped, harmless shark that lives in the kelp 🌿 🎋 🌊).
- Birdlife: Watch for the endangered African Black Oystercatchers and Cormorants diving for their morning catch 🕊️.
- Sea Life: Occasionaly we see dolphins, sun fish, whales and penquins, but we cannot guarantee it 🐬.
- Atlantic Reset: To wrap up your 1.5-hour journey, we offer a voluntary Atlantic Reset! 🌊✨ For those who want to feel the raw energy of the ocean, we’ll guide you through a 3-minute deep-water immersion in the 10°C Atlantic. 🧊 It’s a natural dopamine hit that will leave you energized for the rest of the day! ⚡🧠

“Wonderful crew, professional, more fun than the sea point one and the most reasonable on price“. Jill
“A man on foot, on horseback or on a bicycle (or on a kayak) will see more, feel more, enjoy more in one mile than the motorized tourists can in a hundred miles.”
