It was a wonderful experience with friendly staff sn. There were also informative I went with friends…
A really great trip! We were lucky enough to see all of the 5, INCLUDING a whale; which was just magical. The boat is lovely, comfortable and feels new, the crew were wonderful, friendly and informative. Great drinks and muffins provided. Would highly recommend this experience to all!
The crew were very helpful and good eyesight meant that we saw three humpback whales. The whole experience was very enjoyable and we would highly recommend.
Well organised tour - lovely clean boat and friendly welcoming crew. Didn’t really see anything but it was a lovely view of CT and nice to get out for a different perspective
We had a fantastic trip around the cape town bay and saw a baby hump back whale (in April!!) dolphins, 2 sun fish, penguins and seals everywhere! The weather was fantastic and the crew really friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly highly recommend!
Had a wonderful time. We saw the “Big Five of the ocean” Whales, fur seals, sun fish, penguins and dolphins The boat was spacious and clean. The boat had shade for those sensitive to the sun.
Was great fun, unfortunately did not see much and not much seating on the boat but it was a great experience!
We adore the area if cape town because it is safe. It has Restaurant/ bars. View of table mountain. Boat trips are a must. We saw whales and dolphins Must do it! It's cheap too
