The ocean safari was incredible. In addition to a beautiful view of the bay from water, we got to see many seals and their frolicking pups, and even got to see a few whales passing by late in their migration. We also got to snorkel the shipwreck at the bay, which coupled with the kelp forests, schools of fish and rock lobsters resting in the wreck was an unbelievable experience. We were given ample time to snorkel, always felt safe, and were never rushed (the guides even offered spare weight belts for free-diving), and the wet suits provided great protection in the cool water. Our guides were lovely and accommodating, full of information about the history of the bay and interesting facts about the habits of its wildlife. And just to cap a perfect day, as we were returning there was a pod of over a hundred dolphins leaving the bay, which swam beside the boat for about half an hour. Overall it was an incredible and unique experience in the water. I’d recommend anyone even mildly interested in the marine life of South Africa to do this tour ????. Thanks again for a great experience!

Das Team rundherum war super und auch sehr erfahren und hilfsbereit. Msn sollte aber bitte von Seiten des Anbietern die Erwartungen ändernden, da zur Zeit KEIN schnorcheln oder Schwimmen mit den Robben möglich ist. Ich machte diese Tour um mit den Robben zu Schwimmen. Mir ist auch klar, dass es Wetterabhängig ist. Jedoch ist unter den Robben die Tollwut ausgebrochen somit sind gsd die Veranstaler so viel Bewusstsein dass sie ein Schwimmen nicht zulassen. Also , solltet ihr die Tour buchen um mit Robben zu Schwimmen, wird es auf längere Zeit nicht mehr geben. Ansonsten war die Tour völlig ???? Wir haben die Robben vom Boot gesehen.

Overall great experience. Going in a small boat so you are close to the wildlife is great. We saw tons of seals at Duiker, dolphins different places and a couple of sunfish. Beware that you no longer snorkel near the seals, as they stopped that 8 months ago due to aggresive behaviour and rabies among the seal colony. The two snorkel spots we used was at a shipwreck and a small kelp forrest. Technically we could have been lucky to encounter some few seals at the spots, however we did not. There is a lot of nice crew members who take care of you from start to finish. They provide nice hot beverage and snacks on the boat. Great way to enjoy a sunny day in Cape Town and view the landscape from the sea.
