Customer Reviews

Het was echt ontzettend leuk !! Zeker een aanrader !! - Simone van der Heide


Wij hebben het seal Swimmen als heel leuk ervaren, van de boot naar de zeehondjes tot aan terug op het strand. De begeleiding was leuk, actief en je merkt dat hij (Angelo) het ook nog leuk vind en er enthousiast van word, ook als er ook dolfijnen in de verte te zien zijn! Het water was bij ons alleen erg koud, 12 graden, daar hielden zij ook rekening mee. Daardoor waren er wel minder zeehondjes dan normaal maar nogsteeds was het zo leuk om zelfs met een klein aantal te zwemmen! - Jolien Comeyne (Mundero)


Tres bonne organisation, locaux, materiel et bateau de tres bonne qualite et propres, le guide Claude etait tres professionnel, securisant et tres sympa ( sa comparaison de notre fils et de Frodo nous a fait beaucoup rire !). Les photos telechargees constituent un chouette souvenir. Par contre peu de reelles interactions avec les phoques ... A cause du froid ? Cela reste une tres bonne experience ! Merci ! - Marie Virginie DZIECHCIAREK


We went swimming with seals with our 2 kids (6&9 y o). We felt safe at all times. Unfortunately the water was very cold and our son (6) had to leave the water and watch the seals off the boat. Wetsuits however were provided (2 per person). My daughter and my wife fought through the cold and enjoyed the experience very much. A bouyancy aid was provided if needed. We would recommend the experience and would do it again (in summer). The guide took fotos and videos with a GoPro and the fotos can be downloaded - a great service. - Britta Krause


Great experience. Children liked it very much. Professional team and guide. Any time again. - Thomas Henksmeier

Customer Reviews

We had a splendid tour, saw a mother whale en calf, thousands of dolphins. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the guide new a lot! Superday!!! - sophie benoy


We had a great exsperience and felt safe every step of the way. The staff is friendly and very helpfull. We will definitely make use of Ocean safaris again. - Henk Truter


Amazing Tour with These guys. We had so much fun and saw so many whales and dolphins :) - Bernd Robin


We had a mind-blowing experience. PK was amazingly knowledgeable and entertaining, and the skipper knew just where to go for the best sightings. We felt safe on the water and were happy that the boat kept the regulated distance from marine life. THe whales, however, had other plans and swam right up to (and even under!) the boat! A bucket-list experience! - joanne macgregor


We had a great time on the safari. Saw numerous whales, some very close, and others at a distance. Also saw a dolphin which was a little further. The guide was excellent and very informative. We felt very safe and had a wonderful experience. We went out at the 9.30 tour which proved to be very successful in seeing these beautiful animals. Thoroughly recommend this tour. It was very well managed and well thought out. Well done team!!! - Ghazala
