THE DUCK'S ROUTE

Our ConDUCKtors will entertain you by land and sea

Whether it’s the story-rich history or the amazing ecology of the area, our knowledgeable tour guides (or “ConDUCKtors”, as we call them) will entertain you with unique tales and interesting facts that will engage both young and old.

Whether you are a local Capetonian, a South African visitor from out of town or a visiting foreigner you’ll love this quacker of a tour!

We’ll start with the land portion of the tour, leaving the Silo Precinct and visiting the highlights of the V&A Waterfront by road and water to experience a fresh and unique perspective of Cape Town’s history.

We enter the water at the V&A Marina via a slipway, passing the luxury boats, the seal platform & aquarium, under both the Bascule and Swing Bridges and through to both the Alfred & Victoria basins. There will be plenty of opportunity view, take pictures and soak it all in! 

We do not leave the confines of the harbour.
