Customer Reviews

Great experience and great staff! I highly recommend! - Seignour Marjorie


We had a great experience with Offshore Adventures. We got a clear briefing upfront and the organization is also very involved in the well being of the animals which we found also very important. We felt good at all times and would recommend this experience! - Esther Hofmans


Great guides and managed to make an ordinary day exciting. Ross you are a South African asset. - Tinus and Terena Gouws


What an experience!! The staff and team were so helpful and mindful of everyone's safety. You receive a good safety briefing before you head out and all equipment is provided. Swimming with the seals was an experience! - Louise Fletcher-Phillips


Wow! What an experience. Not for the faint hearted but my party of 4 really enjoyed it. The beach launch and recovery were exciting in themselves never mind the wonderful interaction with the seals. - Clive Wall

Unfortunately we did not see whales as it was not whale season however it was still an absolutely awesome experience!
