This was our second time doing this trip and it was every bit as good as the first. We had fantastic sightings of the marine 5 , especially the whale and calf and the pod of dolphins. The muffins and soup were delicious too. Very knowledgeable people on board who were happy to answer questions.

From Cape town this was a very long (2 hours ) and early (6.15am ) start.....However it was well worth it. To start with the safety briefing with coffee and pastries. Kitted out with lifejackets and just a two minute walk to the harbour which was beautiful. The boats were double decker and the amount of passengers taken means there was plenty of viewing space which even the most selfish couldn't spoil. As soon as we were out to sea a large pod of dolphins were sighted and throughout the trip we saw Bryde whales humpback dolphins and seals. Bear in mind though the sighting of other species depends on the time of year you go. Oh yes the whole team were great, underling a great experience.
