We didn't spot any whales, but the experience was still wonderful. Since we visited at the end of November, sightings were expected to be rare. However, we were delighted to be accompanied by a large group of over 100 dolphins for about 15 minutes, and we also saw some seals. Along with safety instructions, the guide provided a wealth of information about whales and marine life. Despite the rough seas, we felt secure and well taken care of.
The organization was excellent, and they maintained a respectful distance from the whales. I was thrilled to see a baby whale approach the boat on its own. This was a truly unique experience for me, and I would certainly participate again.
Whale watching in the whole bay of South Africa was an incredible experience. The crew was exceptionally friendly and provided extensive information about the whales and the surrounding marine life. We definitely spotted some whales.
Experiencing the whales up close in their natural environment was truly incredible. The skipper and guide were patient, ensuring we had ample time for photos while keeping us informed about the whales' behavior and reactions to our presence.
We had an incredible morning excursion where we were fortunate enough to observe whales at close range. The mother and calf stayed close to the boat for quite a while, allowing us to witness plenty of action. It was a highlight of our vacation.
I am very pleased that we chose to book our tour with this company. It was an excellent experience—while there's no guarantee of sightings, it was clear they knew what they were doing and where to take us. We were able to see whales right next to the boat, swimming around us. The small boat accommodated about 20 passengers, so it never felt crowded. It exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend this company.
The journey from Cape Town was definitely worth it. The team is very attentive to the whales, actively searching for them and providing thorough explanations along the way.
This trip was truly wonderful. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and the experience of observing the whales was approached with great respect. I highly recommend this adventure.
This was an excellent trip. Johannes and his team were highly knowledgeable, allowing us to spot several whales while also gaining insights into the behaviors of Southern Right Whales.
This tour was misleading as it took us on a whale watching trip knowing that the whales had already migrated. I specifically inquired about recent sightings before booking and was told there had been some, only to be informed less than 12 hours later to not expect any whales. The terms state no refunds. We only encountered four seals, and while the boat ride was pleasant, it wasn't worth it. To make matters worse, they issued 'come back for a free boat ride' vouchers, which seemed pointless since the season is nearly over. The captain even described the bay as a ‘dead bay,’ and the absence of seabirds should have clearly indicated there was nothing to see.
