West Coast Kayak Trails

West Coast

Gravity operates sea kayaking trips and hire in the beautiful West Coast National Park and Cape Columbine Nature Reserve. With the jewel-like Langebaan Lagoon as its centerpiece, the West Coast National Park offers adventurers paddling in protected waters. Cape Columbine offers boulder strewn bays and kelp forests near to the picturesque fishing village of Paternoster. Stunning bird life, magnificent scenery, excellent local seafood and exciting fishing are just some of the elements that make the ‘weskus’ so special.

Our day trips are suitable for paddlers of all skill levels and are especially fun for families with kids. Qualified and experienced guides and SAMSA surveyed kayaks.

The Island Paddle gives you a taste of the lagoon – starting on the Main Beach in Langebaan, this is a 2-hour paddle around Schaapen Island with its protected bird colony and white bunnies (yes, really!). Also available as a SUP tour by prior arrangement.

The Explorer Paddle is for those who want to explore deeper into the National Park.

This trip can also be done from across the lagoon, in the idyllic Kraal Bay, with its warm, clear water and powder sand beach. There is an additional logistics charge for this option.
