Customer Reviews

This is our second trip with Ocean Safari's- the first was about 20 years ago and under different ownership. However, despite the changes, this tour did not disappoint. Our party had the boat to ourselves and after an exciting beach launch, our guide and skipper quickly placed us in the middle of a large pod of adult and juvenile dolphins, which we were able to track at a safe distance from one end of the bay to the other. We were then guided across to Cape Seal on the Robberg Nature Reserve to observe the Cape Fur Seal residents on land and in the water. Unfortunately, no whales on this trip but you can't have everything! The tour ended with a fast run across the bay and an even more spectacular beach landing. A must have if you're visiting Plett. - Robin

We had a fantastic time on the safari. The guide Ashwynn was really knowledgeable and entertaining. PK was a fantastic driver, we felt very safe with him. All the guests were lovely too. We saw seals, humpback dolphins and bottlenose dolphins which was awesome. Landing on the beach was a lot of fun too! Thank you for a memorable experience [?] - Leanne
