Paddling near Mossel Bay, Western Cape


Mossel Bay sits on the Western Cape coast along the Garden Route, where the Indian Ocean meets a string of estuaries and river mouths. The area draws paddlers to sheltered harbour waters, the Klein Brak and Groot Brak river estuaries nearby, and open sea routes with marine wildlife including seals at Seal Island. Kayak and SUP rentals and tours operate out of Mossel Bay Harbour, making it accessible for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
