Circe Launches, Cape Town

What better way to spend your Saturday afternoon than to hop on a boat at Hout Bay harbour and enjoy a trip in the sea? If you're lucky, and visiting in season, you'll cruise past whales frolicking in the bay before heading out to Duiker Island, where a huge seal colony awaits you. Around the corner you'll come across a fascinating shipwreck. The views of the coastline from the boat are stunning and it's an altogether wonderful and educational trip for children and adults alike. The boats leave at various times during the day depending upon the season. For timings, please check the website.
