Kayaking
Try a family outing with a difference, and you might find yourself hooked on a new activity! Different companies offer guided tours for anyone over the age of 10, guided by professional guides and in stable kayaks which should set the stage for a great experience! You can choose between short trips for the more cautious, more adventurous tours to Cape Point or the Kayak surfing for adrenaline junkies! Here's something both for dad and daughter and these activities could get truly addictive!

West Coast Nature Reserve
Spring is the time of year to visit this little nature reserve, and it's perfect for a day trip up the West Coast. In this area, you can try out exciting water sports, have a quiet picnic in a secluded tranquil oasis or enjoy prime game viewing and exceptional flower displays in season in the Postberg section. We enjoy this area because it offers a different feel to anything east of Cape Town, and sometimes it's just wonderful to enjoy wide open spaces and a different kind of nature.
Tokai Forest and Arboretum
Great for hot days as this area provides some shade, and there are lots of opportunities for little explorers on the different paths, which are generally not too hard. This is also a popular spot for mountain bikers of all levels. Watch out for baboons around the tea room!
