Customer Reviews

Good trip, experienced guides, good service - Louise Klaver


My fourth outing.....and it really lived up to expectations and didn't disappoint. Highly recommended. - Steven Else


We had such an enjoyable time and PK was very knowledgeable. Definitely worth doing! - Kim-Ashlee Pearson


My children from the UK went on the boat. There experience was wonderful and they were very excited when they came back. The 2 boys really have a lot to share with friends In UK because of you. - Le roux Susan


We booked this trip because we were hoping to see whales in Hermanus but didn't see any. This trip was amazing, a much better experience than what we should have had in Hermanus, viewing from the shore. The guy that lead the trip was really good and we all much appreciated the effort that he went to, to ensure sightings of both Whales and Dolphins. I would highly recommend this trip, an unforgettable experience. Thankyou. - Marion Rich
