Customer Reviews

Great tour out on the ocean. We saw whales right away. One even swam right past the boat---a truly unforgettable moment. A wonderful family experience that we'd definitely recommend to others. One thing to note, though: The ride back to the beach at full speed is pretty thrilling... :D Cheers from Germany, Thanks guys. - Andreas


It was fantastic. Great enthousiastic guide. We wanted to go at Hermanus but no regrets at all. We saw lots of wales and as there is no harbor they launch the boat. It is spectacular. - Everline


We took a whale watching tour in Plett and saw many seals and whales ?! Quite the experience! - Florian


Nice, unfortunately we didn't see anything, but of course this happens. As their was no whale season, maybe this would be better stated before booking. Thanks. - Margit


Fantastic experience, brilliant guide. The staff were warm and friendly and the experience was wonderful for the whole family. Highly recommended. - Elena
