A DIFFERENT WAY TO EXPERIENCE CAPE TOWN
EASY TO LEARN. RELAXED. CLOSE TO NATURE.
Stand-up paddleboarding is a great introduction to spending time on the water. You don’t need previous experience, and once you’ve mastered the basics, SUP gives you a completely different perspective of Cape Town’s coastline.
On calm days, you can paddle over kelp forests, take in the mountain views from the water and keep an eye out for marine life. Depending on where we paddle and a little luck, you may encounter seals, jellyfish and even dolphins along the way.
SUP is wind dependent, which is why a little flexibility helps. We monitor the forecast and choose the most suitable location and time for your experience. If you have some flexibility in your Cape Town schedule, let us know and we’ll aim for the best available conditions.
We went on a guided SUP (stand-up paddle) adventure in Camps Bay with the Stoked team and it was excellent. As first timers we got a chance to get comfortable in the tidal pool then hit the ocean. Incredible views and such a great activity!
