What about Rabies:
We want to keep you in the loop about the recent rabies outbreak in seals. We’re closely monitoring the situation with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and Cape Nature. While there have been a few isolated cases, we’re continuing our activities with some extra safety measures to ensure everyone’s well-being.
We’ll keep you informed about rabies risks and our approach to managing them. Our team has put additional protective steps in place, and we have spotters watching for any unusual seal behavior.
Our local hospital is well-prepared for any seal bite injuries, with trained staff and vaccines on hand, just in case.
We also carry first aid supplies for bite wounds and make sure our guides stay close while you’re in the water, ready to help if needed. To keep the seals calm and ensure you have a great experience, we’ve slightly reduced the time spent in the water.
If you’re feeling a bit uneasy, no problem! You can choose to join a viewing trip instead, which is just as enjoyable. The choice is completely yours, and we’re here to make your experience safe and fun!

Other sightings include seals, pelagic birds as well as sharks, big fish, penguins and octopus in their natural habitat.
This is an experience of a lifetime

We took 2 trips on consecutive days in September 2025. On the first day the boat before us saw 12 humpback whales. We only saw one whale but it was very playful with lots of fin slapping. The next day the weather was not so good but the guide was quite confident for breaching whales as they love rough seas. Despite staying out for an extra 40 mins no humpback whales were seen. We did get a pod of dolphins. The crew tried really hard. Sometimes it happens. Nature is not guaranteed. Highly recommend this company. - Mrs Evelyn Howson
A great trip with friendly crew who did a fantastic job of tracking down three whales despite the swell making seeing anything more difficult and the fact that other boats had no luck. It was amazing to see the whales (and hear them!). The sea conditions were a bit rough once outside the bay so if you're prone to sea sickness take some medication! - Henry Ripley
We saw dolphins, seals and whales , learnt an enormous amount about them informed by our engaging guide and felt safe in the knowledge that the animals ( and our!) welfare was foremost in the company's thoughts . - Miranda Dale
It was such a beautiful trip! We got to follow three pairs of whales, and one of them swam right next to our boat for quite a while -- it was absolutely thrilling. After that, we also saw a huge colony of seals. Thanks to the great organization, it turned out to be an amazing day, topped off by the thrill of landing straight on the beach at the end. - Silvia Solange Gatta
We had a fantastic trip with Ocean safaris, the guide was knowledgable and we were lucky enough to see whales breaching and hundreds of dolphins and fur seals. Excellent value for money. - James Sidney
