This 1.5 to 2-hour boat cruise departs from the Ocean Blue Adventures Shop and suits nature lovers seeking close encounters with migratory whales along the Garden Route coastline.

Highlights

Description

Arrive 30 minutes before departure at the Ocean Blue Adventures Shop to check in and receive your life jacket and poncho if needed. A safety briefing will be provided before boarding.

The route and sightings depend on sea conditions, weather, and recent whale reports. Southern Right whales are generally found close to shore, while Humpback whales are typically several miles offshore. Your guide will choose the best area for whale viewing.

The boat launches through the surf for an exciting start and returns with a high-speed landing on the beach. Along the way, you may also see inshore dolphins, visit the Cape Fur Seal colony on Robberg Peninsula, and possibly spot Great White Sharks between May and October.

For safety, disclose any medical conditions such as pregnancy or recent surgery. The operator reserves the right to deny boarding if necessary.
