Whether you’re keeping the chill of winter at bay or you’re embracing the sweltering heat of the Mother City, one natural thing remains constant – the beauty of the full moon.
There’s an added allure to the city when it’s sparkling under the glow of the full moon and what better way to enjoy this than by taking advantage of full moon-themed activities around Cape Town?
Here are a few of our favourites:
Kayak
Spend the evening admiring the full moon as you paddle out to sea with Kayak Cape Town. This unique experience allows you to enjoy the sunset and the moon rising over the Hottentots Hollands mountains while snapping pics of the adorable sea critters that call this area home. It’s available each month and lasts two hours.
