Customer Reviews

The team was friendly and helpful, even when a more challenging customer required more attention. The trip went without problems and was an experience. We saw a few Bryde's whales but didn't get too close, and then the ever-present seals at Robberg peninsula. All considered, a worthwhile event. - Reaan


Nice[?] - José


Had a great time on this trip. The boat was really good, the staff friendly and knowledgeable and we got to see some Bryde's whales, some dolphins and seals. Would highly recommend. - Christopher


Highly recommend this excursion. Our guide was so knowledgeable and shared lots of facts along the way. We were so lucky to see a juvenile humpback fin thrashing in the bay. So memorable. - Richard


Everything was very well organized, and the team was friendly and professional. You should definitely be prepared for the sea conditions -- if you tend to get seasick, it's worth taking precautions, as the waves can get quite strong further out at sea. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales (we know there's no guarantee), but we did spot plenty of seals, which was still great. Overall, it was a good experience. - Sophie
