City Sightseeing Waterfront Harbour Cruise

Departing from the jetty outside the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront, the Waterfront City Sightseeing Harbour Cruise puts Cape Town’s bustling harbour in the spotlight.

Expect to see key attractions including icons of maritime history as well as epic views of the city’s natural landscape. Highlights include the SAS Somerset, the only remaining boom defence vessel in the world, and the southern hemisphere’s largest synchro-lift and only drawbridge, the Bascule Bridge.

The cruise also includes views of Table Mountain, the Nelson Mandela Gateway, Chavonnes Battery Museum, and the well-known Red Clock Tower. Of course, experiencing the bustling waterways of Cape Town from a boat is a highlight itself, and this cruise offers a perspective of the city that no other tour can offer.

The cruise departs every 20-minutes and lasts for about 30-minutes. While there’s no hopping off available, the tour is so packed with useful and historic information you’ll want to stay for the whole ride. Once you have completed the cruise, hop-on the red bus tour that picks up outside the V&A Waterfront City Sightseeing office STOP 1 to see more of the city’s best attractions.
