Got to see quite a few dolphins, some Southern Right Whales and even a Bryde's Whale. A decent enough experience, albeit a little overpriced for SA residents.

Fantastic experience--highly recommended! Everything was easy--scheduling, payment, helpful briefing before the trip. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly but not too intrusive--perfect balance. There were very big swells but the Captain did an excellent job positioning us for great viewing. Saw a hug pod of dolphins, Brydes whales, several southern right whales, including some mating activity. Fabulous experience. Super convenient that they depart directly from Hermanus New Harbour rather than requiring a drive to Gansbaai.
