The experience
The day starts at the V&A Waterfront, where you board a catamaran for a 1-hour cruise into Table Bay or toward the historic Green Point lighthouse and back. The boat gives you views of Table Mountain and the waterfront from the water, and the open deck is where you watch for whales, dolphins, penguins and seals that move through these waters. The cruise is relaxed: no rushing between stops, just the boat, the coast and whatever marine life appears.
After you return to the waterfront, you walk to an iconic V&A restaurant and sit down to a 14-piece sushi plate: four tuna California rolls, four salmon or tuna rainbow rolls, four prawn bam bam rolls and two salmon roses. The table faces the harbor and the yachts, so the meal is as much about the view as the food. You eat at your own pace and stay as long as you want.
Once you finish, the V&A shopping mall is right there if you want to walk and browse. The whole experience (cruise, meal and time at the waterfront) runs about two and a half hours from start to finish.
Is this one for you?The V&A Waterfront is the starting point, and it's on public transportation routes throughout Cape Town, so you don't need a car or a hotel pickup to reach the boat. This works well if you're staying in the city center or anywhere with easy access to the waterfront.
