Hout Bay Harbour

Fishing boats, seal-cruise departures and a working quayside below the mountain.

Why it’s worth it

This is where the Duiker Island seal cruises leave from, so the quayside is a good place to watch boats come and go and decide how adventurous you feel. The harbour is also home to the Bay Harbour Market in a converted fish factory, which makes it an easy half-day with lunch built in. Expect the sights and smells of a working fishing harbour.
