About Kaskazi Kayaks & Adventures
Kaskazi Kayaks & Adventures is Cape Town's premier sea kayaking outfitter, launching guided paddle expeditions from Three Anchor Bay beach on the Atlantic seaboard. Named after the Swahili word for the northeast monsoon wind, Kaskazi has been leading ocean kayaking adventures along the Cape Town coastline for over a decade, offering paddlers an unparalleled on-the-water perspective of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, the Twelve Apostles mountain range, and the city's rugged Atlantic shoreline.
Their core offering is a guided sea kayak tour that departs from the beach at Three Anchor Bay and follows the coast toward Clifton and Camps Bay, passing through kelp forests and rocky channels teeming with marine life. Encounters with Cape fur seals, African penguins, dolphins, and seasonal whale sightings are common. Tours are suitable for beginners — stable sit-on-top kayaks are used, and guides provide full instruction before launching. For more experienced paddlers, Kaskazi offers advanced open-ocean routes and multi-hour expeditions. They also sell kayaks and paddling accessories from their beachside base.
The Three Anchor Bay launch point is what makes Kaskazi special — it's one of the few kayak operators that paddles directly from an urban beach rather than requiring a drive to a remote put-in. The proximity to Sea Point and the V&A Waterfront means you can slot a paddle into a morning schedule without losing half the day to travel. Their guides are experienced ocean paddlers with deep knowledge of local currents, weather windows, and wildlife behaviour, ensuring safe and enriching experiences even in Cape Town's famously changeable Atlantic conditions.
