Keeping a close eye on the ocean and searching for the Marine Big 5 of Cape Town (whales, dolphins, seals, penguins and the allusive sunfish).

Had a fabulous morning on perfectly calm waters seeing dolphins, dusky, and loads of humpback whales playing and feeding. A must experience made even better by Avril and rhiad who were excellent. Thanks so much

A group of us did the Ocean Safari with Simon at the helm. The trip was fabulous and we saw most of the marine life we could have seen. We saw seals, dolphins and sun fish, but the highlight was seeing two southern right whales. Simon was an excellent guide and the trip was excellent. This is a great way to spend an hour and a half if you are in Cape Town.

The boat ride was nice and crew were nice, attentive and polite.
We weren’t lucky with the “encounter with the wild ocean life”, though and the reason I only place 4 stars to the tour.
We found 1 penguin and a couple of seals.
But it was a nice boat ride.
