“Great tour! Lots of places to spread out and see the whales on the boat. The drone video was cool to watch afterwards. I think charging R440 for the video is way too much considering the cost of the tour.”

“What a phenomenal experience. The guides were far more upbeat and groovy than I have ever experienced around the world! They all had boundless knowledge of the ocean that they call home and too were comprehensive in knowing the inns and outs of Cape Town. Great post tour recommendations on where to hang and lap up more experiences like theirs in different genre's. Thanks Truth Travel for the kayaking trip of a lifetime. Check you in the future!”
