Day 1 - V&A Waterfront Canal Cruise
Cape Town
The 20-minute canal cruise is a great way to travel between the Foreshore area in the Cape Town City Bowl and the V&A Waterfront. It’s an affordable alternative to driving there and suitable for people of all ages. Children are required to join the cruise under adult supervision.
We offer on-board commentary in 15 languages (English, Afrikaans, Arabic, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Zulu) and an audio channel specifically for kids.
City Sightseeing’s canal boat rides are a great way to explore the canals that wind through the upmarket residential complexes located adjacent to the V&A Waterfront and gives you an incredible view of Table Mountain and its neighbouring mountain peaks.
