INCREDIBLE - We had an amazing time. We arrived a bit late in the season to see the super pods of humpback whales but we saw the souther right whale which was a surprise for us. The team was so sweet and really helpful. They were just incredible. Would recommend it, in an heart beat. Everything was just awesome.

Wonderful experience - A well-organized company with well-maintained and safe boats. The welcome is warm with breakfast and coffee. Then onto the water and one continues to search for whales. We saw several humpbacks up close. As icing on the cake 5 Southern Right Whales. These were really special. I can highly recommend this trip and certainly Jacques, an extremely enthusiastic and endearing person. Overall a wonderful experience that we would not have missed

Extraordinarily wonderful experience - From arrival to departure this was the most brilliantly run organisation. The crew were both highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. The boat, clothing, safety equipment and refreshments were all first class. But it was the extraordinary 90minutes sighting mating Southern Right Whales which was utterly spellbinding. That was followed by a trip to Dassen Island to see a small group of Humpbacks, a huge colony of Seals at Vondelingeiland and a single Sunfish on the way back to Yzerfontein.

Unforgettable experience! - Great whale-watch expedition! We thought it was really worth the price. We left with considerable fog, but with an hour the sun was shining. We have seen an amazing supergroup of whales (at least 50). In addition, a smaller group. We were bobbing in the middle of the field and were short of eyes. We were given plenty of time to observe these beautiful mammals! The expedition ended with an excellent lunch on shore.

Fantastic experience - The crew was very friendly and very experienced. We were spoiled with breakfast before and BBQ afterwards. We have felt unsentimentally safe and well looked after at all times. The fact that we were then allowed to see and hear and smell strange humpback whales impressed us incredibly. Thanks to the Orga team and the performing team.

The best whale watching expedition in Southern Africa - An amazing experience and very professional, informative and motivated team, equipped with top notch boats, clothing and safety equipment. Breakfast and lunch book-ended a 5 hour whale search mission with the amazing Dassen Island en route with its aggregations of Black Oyster Catchers, White Pelicans, Jackass Penguins and seals, as well as Vondeling Island with its 60,000 fur seals as well as one visiting male elephant seal! En route we saw Storm Petrels darting between the waves and Southern Giant Petrel. The highlight was of course catching up with a supergroup of 20+ Humpback Whales, diving to feed, the surfacing next to the boat repeatedly - incredible!! If you can manage an extended trip on open water then you must join these guys.

Wow!!! And Whale - Amazing trip I'd highly recommend, especially photographers! Small groups of people which makes the trip so much nicer. Although we didn't get to see a super group, we saw a lone juvenile Humpback and then a mother with her calf. Plenty of dolphins and birds and a huge sunfish.....worth EVERY penny...nice breakfast and lunch and the crew were excellent 👌🏻
