Relaxing Sightseeing Cruise - While staying at the Westin I took the hop-on hop-off canal cruise. It was very convenient because there was a stop next to the Westin. The cruise was about 25-30 minutes one way. It was a relaxing trip with nice views of the houses, apartments and hotels along the way. The narration was informative. This boat cruise is also a good way to get to the V&A Waterfront for shopping, restaurants and other activities. This is a good and inexpensive way to see another aspect of Cape Town.

Our trip was the best. - The Hop on Hop off bus was the best. The most memorable moment was the Sunset tour. Looking at Cape Town from the top of the mountains in the evening was beautiful especially after the light were on. We enjoyed our ride and will definitely go back again for more fun. The Harbour cruise was also great, we saw the seals.

City Sight Seeing - boat ride around the harbour ☺️ - On our first day of a family trip in Cape Town we ‘hopped on’ the City Sight Seeing boat trip from the Marina around the harbour - this short and inexpensive trip was a lovely way to view the harbour with a little bit of history thrown in on the audio - definitely worth doing and the go every 30 mins we all enjoyed it ☺️

The bus is super worth it, the boat is a waste of time! - We love the Red Line because it allows you to get off and visit points of interest without a tour. The boat trip is completely unnecessary, considering that it only covers the canal or the coastal part of Porto

Rude captain and bad customer service at the boat - The captain was rude. I would never go back again, bad experience . I would never go back again as it was not worth my time
