Student Specials
Did you know that as a student, carrying a valid Student Card, you can experience three different special offers with City Sightseeing?
Students Day Out
Breakfast and Canal Cruise on our Red Boat: R89
● The Red Boat departs from 09h00 from the dock behind the One and Only hotel and takes you on a leisurely trip along the canal that links the Waterfront and the CBD. This is a hop-on, hop-off tour, meaning you can enjoy the full day on the canals. Spend time at Battery Park or learn how to SUP along the peaceful canals. The experience includes breakfast at Canal Cafe / Harbour Bridge Hotel (served until 12h00), Shift Espresso Bar / Waterway House (served until 12h00) or Cape Malay House / V&A Food Market (served from 10h00).
One-day ticket on our Red Bus: R170
● Needing a day out with your friends, and some time away from the books, then this special is definitely for you. Join us on board for a full day out exploring the city or the Peninsula, stop off for a cocktail and some time on the beach in Camps Bay (Stop 8) or head to Hout Bay (Stop 24) for some fish and chips on the rocks at the marina. These two stops are perfect Insta worthy selfie spots. NOTE: This ticket can only be bought at our offices (Stop 1 at the Waterfront or Stop 5 in the city) and you need to show your valid South African student card to redeem this price.
● Which student doesn’t enjoy a delicious burger? Take our Red Route or our Blue Route, and hop off at Stop 8 in Camps Bay. Visit the world-famous Hard Rock Cafe and get to know the legends of rock as you enjoy a delicious Classic burger and chips. They also have a wicked cocktail menu.
