St Helena Bay Shelley Point Kayaking

Activity Description

NOTE
Guided Kayak Trip
R350 per person. Minimum 2 persons and a maximum of 12 persons. PLEASE NOTE that you can contact us directly if you are more than 12 people to hear if we have availability. We can take up to 20 people on a tour.

We have been operating in St Helena Bay since 2020, bringing our 12 years of experience in guided kayaking from Cape Town to the west coast.

We operate a fleet of 12 double and single seater high end fibreglass kayaks which are very light, stable, comfortable and navigate easily through the water requiring minimal effort – thus you don’t need to be physically strong. All paddles are carbon fibre racing paddles which make them very light and efficient.

We are registered with the African Paddle Association and trained by their designated instructors. All kayaks and equipment are approved by the South African Marine Safety Authority (SAMSA). All trips are conducted in controlled and safe conditions and are weather dependent.
