Excellent whale watch - Currently there seem to be more southern Right hanging out at Gansbaai, than in neighbouring Hermanus, which is why we chose Ivanhoe whale watch . We were lucky enough to soon find Mum and calf , who came so close to the boat, you could feel the spray of the blow. We’re able to watch them for a fair while, and get some great footage. Saw quite a few other whales too. We’d certainly use Ivanhoe again .

Great experience! - Wow!!!!
I can only recommend it to everyone!
Everything went great from start to finish, we saw a few whales, some right next to the boat.
The crew and driver were really nice!
There is absolutely nothing to complain about.

Incredible experience! - Fantastic experience! Saw far more whales than we expected, and got some incredible pictures. Skippers were very friendly and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!

Worth every penny - Best whale watching trip ever! We were not many people on the boat (something like 15) so it was not crowded at all and made very enjoyable. The guides gave LOADS of information and were super friendly. We have a lot if whales, going under the boat and breaching. As bonus we also had dolphins

Interesting - It was quite an experience.Enjoyable even though it was windy and the boat ride a bit rocky.We saw few whales but I know such trips are a risk as nature has her own course.

Good experience - I liked this activity. The driver was a cool guy. I think you offer a vehicle with more space, almost 3hs tightly wasn’t good.

Never again. - Unfortunately, the tour was first postponed and then rebooked without our consent. We didn't see any whales. The snack didn't arrive, nor did the drinks. A total of 6 hours' drive from Hout Bay, two hours of boating along the coast.
The dolphins were nice. But that was it... there wasn't a boat big enough for 40 people either.
Never again...
