Rainbows in Cape Town
Widevision Travel and Kyle provided a stress free, fun filled day of fishing on the Elands River. The gear provided was top quality and Kyle’s knowledge of the river and the surrounding wild and plant life made for a rewarding day. And so close to the city. I highly recommend one of their guided trips for anyone who likes the challenge of fishing new waters.
Response from the operator: What day indeed, so glad you enjoyed it and it was a pleasure having you, you really did incredibly well, and cant wait to see you for the next one

Fly-fishing Cape Town
My day on the Elands River was amazing. Kyle, our guide, was experienced, patient and friendly. His knowledge of the stream and local floral and fauna made the day quite enjoyable. I had a rough start but Kyle kept me focused and I was able to hook up on several rainbows to make a perfect day. Next time I come to Cape Town, I’ll be connecting with Widevision Travel again. This a must for anyone who loves fishing new waters.
Response from the operator: We had an incredible day didn't we Daren, you were an absolute joy to be with and an inspiration to us youth. Thanks you for your wonderful energy and cant wait to see you back one day

Great and unique day out small river fly fishing
Had a great time fly fishing last weekend, Gordon was a top class guide and knew the river like the back of his hand! We caught (and missed) lots of fish in the beautiful setting that are the Cape Streams. It was definitely an action packed day fishing wise with fish taking surface flies all day. I booked a half day solo, but got paired with another angler and upgraded to full day which worked perfectly for me. I bought the wading boots, which you may need to pick up beforehand as I did. I think you only need them if you don't want to get your shoes wet, or don't have shoes with good grip. Bring spare socks etc as you will be up to your waist and might slip. It was an early start and we spent the entire day down in the valley until dusk. There was a lot of hiking (10km in total over rough ground) as I had agreed to one of the further away fishing spots. There are closer swims if you're not up for hiking that far, but I think that's part of the fun. I went when the weather conditions were quite cool, so the fish were happy to take a fly on the surface and we had lots of action. The fish you catch are small rainbow trout. There are some in there around the 30cm mark but they evaded us this time! It is all catch and release. Can definitely recommend if you want a unique day fly fishing, catching small trout in the beautiful countryside. Although I had fly fished before, it is suitable for beginners.
Response from the operator: Thanks you for a wonderful descriptive feedback and words Alex You were a pleasure to deal with and host, you loved every moment and it was a joy to see, thanks you again!

Casting call
If you’re looking to check ‘fishing the African continent’ off of your bucket list, this is the trip for you. Only 50 min. from Capetown, through some beautiful countryside, you’ll find yourself at a boulder-filled stream. For the beginner to the master, the cool waters offer anyone the chance to explore some technical fishing.

Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.
How much does Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stellenbosch usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stellenbosch is not rushed.
Is Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stellenbosch can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stellenbosch and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fly Fishing in Cape Town for Five Hours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stellenbosch within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stellenbosch?
+
On Outty we rank every Stellenbosch experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch, Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch Wine Tractor hop-on-hop off wine tasting tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stellenbosch?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stellenbosch?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
