We saw humpback dolphins and a few seals. Crew were lovely and the boat ride was fun. The wakes are quite big and the boat goes quite fast so it’s quite bumpy but we really enjoyed it. My 4yo son was a little scared at times but he loved the experience overall.

We saw 3 seals. The team were nice but it was just really disappointing. I feel like we wasted time and money for something when we were told the best time to go but initially asked to go later.

Great trip. It was great to see Knysna Head through the storied Knysna Heads and see the seals playing swimming in the ocean.

With Ashley our deck captain and Johannes our Skipper, we took on this experience to explore the ocean beyond the Knysna heads. We saw the immense power of the ocean having carved out deep caves into the rocks, and the whale fin-shaped rock towering as if a natural statue amidst the gushing waves. Shortly into our exciting haphazard approach of the higher waves, Ashley spotted a whale. Much to everyone's surprise, upon following this huge giant, we learnt about their "footprints" in the water, and could assist in spotting another smaller creature. This time it turned out to be the whale's calf. Johannes' skill to see and follow them both,whilst pointing out the seals and even a hammerhead shark, was remarkable. We made a turnaround at Buffalo Bay from where we could again appreciate the beautiful coastline, and then heading back to the jetty, carefully navigating through the treacherous rocks at the Heads. This was an unforgettable experience and we'll be certain to return again soon.
