Stand Up Paddleboarding

‘SUP’ is hugely popular in Cape Town, with paddle-boarders exploring the crystal clear canals of the V&A Waterfront, admiring the city views from the Atlantic, or taking on one of the city’s many surf breaks. SUP rentals and guided tours are available year-round.

Surfing

The Cape Peninsula catches swell and wind throughout the year, so there’s almost always somewhere with a wave. The gentle beach breaks of False Bay are ideal for beginners, while the Atlantic Coast delivers world-class reef and point breaks for more experienced surfers. Our Concierge can help with rentals, lessons, surf guides and full-day surf tours.

Whale & dolphin watching

The waters of the Western Cape are home to dozens of cetacean species, from families of orca and resident pods of bottlenose dolphins to the southern right whales that migrate here from Antarctica during the winter months (June to September). While exceptional whale and dolphin sightings are often enjoyed from the hotel, boat-based whale-watching excursions are the most memorable way to admire these animals in their natural habitat.
