Great boat tour, great skipper, many marine wildlife encounters and great views of Cape Town - We had a great morning for four + another couple. The sun was shining, there was only a slight swell out on the sea and Rob our skipper made a great tour with us from the starting point to Camps Bay, then around Robben Island and back again. The view was phenomenal and we saw whales, seals and a sunfish. Rob took a lot of time and explained everything very well. We are glad to have booked this great event !

Wonderful and amazing - It was one of the greatest experiences of my life doing the whale watching tour with Rob. We saw so many wonderful sea wildlife as at least 5 different whales, seals, pinguins, sunfishe. Last but not least we ended the tour inbetween of average 300 dolphins swimming around our boat. Just amazing and not describable. Thank you so much again, Dear Rob

In the middle of a huge dolphin school - We saw everything on this tour: Seals, penguins, sunfish, southwestern Wales, humpback whales, and a lot of dolphins. Our stationary boat was in the middle of a school of about 300 dolphins that passed us on the left and right.
Rob was a great skipper with a lot of knowledge of the animals. He respectfully kept the necessary distances from the animals and did not follow them if they had not shown interest in us. On the way back, everyone had a lot of fun when he took the boat over the waves.

5 star Ocean Safari - This was by far the best wildlife boat excursion I've had. Paul.is so knowledgeable and a great spotter of distant whale blow, and reading the scene. We saw, a penguin, a young shark, many seals, dolphin with a new calf and a large number of Southern Right whales....fantastic! Don't waste your money on other choices!!

Unforgettable ocean wildlife experience, highlight it Cape Town! - Our experience was truly unforgettable and a definite highlight of our trip to Cape Town. From start to finish, everything was seamless (even with a fog delay), engaging, and incredibly memorable.
A special mention to our guide, Paul, who made the experience exceptional. He is clearly very experienced and extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights while answering all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. His kind and friendly nature made us feel completely at ease and added so much to the overall enjoyment of the day.
The whole experience was fun, well-organized, and deeply enriching. We left with amazing memories and a much greater appreciation for the local ocean wildlife + birds.
We would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town!
