Customer Reviews

Excellent! Knowledgeable guides and great sightings. - Nandini


We had an amazing whale watching tour with Ocean Safaris. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared great insights throughout the trip. We were lucky enough to see a huge number of whales up close, some even with their calves. It was an unforgettable experience. - Max


We had the most amazing experience. After a few minutes the first dolphins appeared and we could see the for a long time. But then the safari really started. Our guide found so many whales, they came so close to us, you could have touched them from the boat. What I liked most, was that in no situation we came the whales too close. We always kept a distance, respecting their space. But the whales came in our direction so we had an unforgettable experience. The whales seemed to be on the guides payroll. Amazing. - Alan


We did a whale watching trip in October and were lucky enough to see lots of whales up close including a Mother and calf breaching about 5 meters from the boat. The trip was great fun and very professional. Would recommend. - Suzanne


Wir hatten ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis mit Ocean Safaris. In einem kleinen Boot fur hochstens 12 Teilnehmer fuhren wir in die Bucht und sichteten nach kurzer Zeit den ersten Wal. Das Boot blieb ca. 100 m vom Wal entfernt stehen, und dieser kam zum Greifen nah ans Boot und umkreiste es mehrmals. Weitere Wale kamen hinzu, sogar eine Mutter mit Kalb! Des Weiteren wurden wir wahrend der ganzen Fahrt von unzahligen Delfinen und auch Robben begleitet. Eine wunderbare Fahrt! - Bettina
