Excursion Kayaking the west coast national park tour at Cape Town

This is a circular route starting and ending on Main Beach, Langebaan. We will start with a safety briefing and some paddling instruction before crossing the channel to Schaapen Island in the West Coast national Park Bay. We’ll paddle around the island, which is a protected bird colony, observing and identifying the birds. We’ll also learn about the Kelp Forest and its role in the local ecology. Finally, we’ll pause and observe the Cape Fur Seal colony on the landward side of the island. If luck is on our side, we’ll also spot and hear about the colony of feral white bunnies that have evolved to adapt to life on the island.

Enjoy all the sites this beautiful park has to offer before heading to the Boesmanland Farm Kitchen for a South African Lunch. (Guests are advised to bring a change of clothing and a towel from the ship).
