Overview

Enjoy a private day trip to Gansbaai that is world famous for the abundant sea life including Southern Right Whales in season (May to November). Spend 3 hours hours on a luxury boat with a marine specialist on board and enjoy the possibility of sightings of Southern Right whales in season, Brydes whales, dolphins, sharks, seals, endangered African penguins and other sea & bird life. Return via the scenic seaside villages of Hermanus, Kleinmond, Betty's Bay, Rooi Els and Gordons Bay. This round trip is one of those essential experiences for visitors to Cape Town and it includes your qualified and registered tour guide at the helm of an upmarket air-conditioned vehicle.

Itinerary

Start your tour with a friendly, professional tour guide who will pick you up from your accommodation. We will contact you the evening before the tour to confirm all the necessary arrangements. We take the scenic route up the magnificent Sir Lowrys Pass with a pitstop at the top and then travel through to Gansbaai where the boat trip starts. Spend about 3 hours on the boat with a marine tour guide. Depending on the time of year, you may see whales, dolphins, Cape fur seals, African penguins and great white sharks plus an abundance of sea bird life, all potentially in a single trip. Although the Southern Right whale season ends in early December, this is still an absolute must-see destination for wildlife photographers.
After the boat trip, drive home along the picturesque Gordon's Bay sea route.
Drop off at your accommodation at the end of a great experience.
* NB - the cost of the boat trip is extra (R2000pp)

Our guide Mike was wonderful. He picked us up at our accomodation, made sure we were safe and comfortable, and was a wealth of information during our drive to Gansbaai. The cruise was amazing. We saw whales, sharks, penguins, sea lions and seals, numerous sea birds, and even an ostrich walking along the dunes. The staff at Dyer Island were warm and welcoming, even providing coffee, tea and muffins before we set out. Our guide managed to squeeze in a wine tasting experience for us on our drive home. A perfect day!

We were lucky and saw many whales and several other animals. Our tour guide was James and he's the best. He told us everything and went above and beyond to make our journey the best.
